another fire reported a few streets away on 28th and east san fernando. good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm terry mcsweeney. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. those overnight fires are added to four other fires seen here on this map. that means it's been an exhausting 24 hours for san jose firefighters. peggy bunker is live at the scene of the most recent fire on 28th and san antonio streets with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: you think in the recent days they deserve really a slow day, the san jose fire department. there is no rest for the weary. in the past couple of hours we're looking at four different fires set within blocks of each other. we're only about six blocks from the warehouse fire we covered yesterday. first of all, the first fire that happened was about 3:30, at 24th and san fernando. by the time we got throughout was a second fire, that one happened at 34th and peach. the homeowner there awoke to see her porch on fire. look at the damage.

you can see burn marks all the way up the wall. she was shocked and2ic confuse. why somebody would set something on fire allegedly on the porch. it did look intentional. we're hearing from the fire department. in the middle of that as we were waiting to talk to the firefighters we heard about another one, this one a few blocks away on east san antonio on 28th street so in about 60 minutes, we were up to three fires and one morning. you can see how quickly the fire department jumped into action, dousing this house here. we did see the homeowner briefly. she came out in her pajamas looking scared and tearfully at the damage to her home before going back inside. i talked to the fire department captain about how scary these fires ever for homeowners. >> when you're at home at night and you're asleep and a fire wakes up, that's got to be the most frightening feeling in the world for people that aren't in my industry. so i don't blame them for

feeling that way. if we have a person going around threatening these people's livelihoods, lives, property, that is not what society is about. >> reporter: so let's give you the break down of how busy the fire department has been and what they are characterizing as suspicious fires and a string of them. we're saying all of these if you can imagine this taking place within blocks of each other. two on wednesday, two yesterday, not including the massive five-plus alarm fire at the warehouse, three fires today started, one looked like it was attempted to start but didn't actually take hold. so four fires. so you can imagine how crazy it has been for the fire department. i hear the sirens yet again in the distance. they ared- saying that you coul walk from one scene to the next. they are mere blocks from each other. we'll see what's going on and bring you the latest. you can imagine we have very tired firefighters on our hands. >> add to the suspicion how

close they are. >> let's talk about yesterday's fires. the largest of them was this, destroy add warehouse yesterday morning, neighbors are not allowed to go back in their back yards near the scene of that fire. firefighters are still on hand at the warehouse checking for hot spots. so far a cause of the fire has not been made public but it does not appear suspicious. >> the san jose fire department also investigating the cause of a fire that ripped through three condo units in almaden. no one was hurt. it appears the flames started on the second floor and quickly spread. >> this morning in a widespread flu warning. after nine deaths in seven counties. several bay area hospitals put up more tents to deal with the influx of parents with flu symptoms. christie smith live outside regional medical center. >> reporter: good morning. this is the first time they have

done this here at regional medical center, bring out tents to the parking lot to handle the people coming in with flu symptoms. now a second tent which means they can handle three times as many patients. we're still very early into the flu season. as you said nine people have died in the bay area. men and women of all ages, and seven counties sonoma, marin, san francisco, san mateo, contra costa, alameda and santa clara, many of the victims have been young healthy people. regional medical center in san jose has their tents up and also increased their staff. so has stanford. they put tents out to help treat patients with the flu. in sonoma county one was 23 years old so doctors warn young people that they can develop the flu and complications. because this flu season the h1n1 strain is spreading fast, much like what we saw in 2009.

>> i carry purell with me. >> i'm a little bit worried. they told me it takes up to two weeks to take effect. >> reporter: maybe two weeks but doctors say a flu shot still will protect you against the h1n1 flu and other strains, not too late. last year's flu season peaked in february and sometimes it can run all the way through may. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot. >> let's take a live look outside this morning. as we prepare for our microclimate forecast. a beautiful bay bridge in the distance. let's check in with christina. >> i don't know if i want to get out of friday ever. good morning to you. yeah, we have a warm-up headed our way. we love fridays around here. we're going to get a beautiful bay area weekend at least on

of each other not far from the downtown area. >> nine have died from the flu in the bay area. health officials in sonoma county say the latest victim was a 23-year-old man with no underlying health problems. doctors urge people to get flu shot. flu season typically peaks in february. >> heavy rain is causing serious flooding in palm beach, florida. you see people stranded in the water, several roads shut down. emergency officials are extending a flood warning through this afternoon as more rain is on the way there. not much on the way here. all kinds of important business news as well. >> scott, let's start with the terrible jobs number. >> it is terrible. the worst jobs number since we've had since 2011. the labor department says only 74,000 new jobs were added in the economy in the monthp) of december, economists had been talking about maybe 200,000 jobs. maybe more.

it is possible this is an odd fluke. maybe somebody did the math wrong. the unemployment rate dropped significantly but our economist at cnbc says that's just because people are bailing out of the job search. i looked it up. the labor participation rate is the worst it's been since 1978. if you're not looking for a job you're not considered unemployed remember. at least when it comes to the jobless rate. the other startling number, target says 70 million people were hit by that data breach at its stores. not 40 million as first reported. target says it will have to set aside money to pay for all of the costs involved and is offering free credit monitoring. the target disaster nearly twice as big as we first thought. >> despite the lousy job number employment here in the bay area continues strong. google has so many employees it's starting to bring them to
