the unusually dry pattern at least for the next five days. we have a slight chance for rain. we'll get into that in your full forecast. >> friday morning commute, it's getting started. we'll show you where you have slowing in the tri-valley coming up. >> 49ers could be responsible for extra traffic on your drive home from work. >> taking a live look outside this morning. the beautiful span of the bay bridge. you made to the friday morning, january 17th, this is "today in the bay." >> a very good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm terry mcsweeney. an update to breaking news in san francisco, a family had to jump out of a window to escape the flames of their house fire. it broke out near the bay view district on apollo street near thornton avenue. christie smith is there, it was a scary scene this morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning

to you. imagine waking up to find your house on fire. that happened to one family here, two of them jumped out of the window, one of them was able to make it out of the door but the neighbors say that they heard banging, they got up, they saw the fire, they decided to evacuate too and that's because the homes are so close together here in san francisco. i just spoke with the assistant chief and he tells me initial reports were that three buildings were on fire here overnight. turns out it was one, a small cottage here on apollo at william street. the chief tells me when they got here the flames were pouring from the building but the three people had already made it out. one challenge, though, that there are two houses on this property, the cottage that was burning, that's about 150 feet off of the street in the rear so they had to drag a lot of hose back there. i spoke with a neighbor who saw the fire, said she ran out of her house in her pajamas. >> were you sleeping? >> yeah. we were sleeping.

and my neighbor come and knock door like a fire and i came out so i saw the fire already spread. we just ran out. that's it. >> reporter: new information for you, initially it was just thought that one family in the home that burned was affected. now i'm told that the red cross has been called out to help at least one other family, a neighbor because the homes are tied together on the electrical grid so another house has no power so. the red cross is helping them. the three people in that home that burned, they were taken to different hospitals, all suffering from smoke inhalation. one of them more seriously. i'm told they were all alert and talking when they left. firefighters still don't know how this started but investigators are on the way. >> thanks very much. governor brown will make a major announcement today. many speculate he will declare a drought emergency.

it hasn't happened since 1992. it's one of the driest periods on record in california, many reservoirs are depleted. yesterday alameda, santa clara and contra costa counties received special designation that allows some farmers to apply for federal emergency loans. in marin the water district started pumping from its first of two reserve reservoirs hoping to get enough water until the next major rainfall. why we're not seeing as much rain as we normally would see this time of year let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> hey, good morning to you. it has everything to do with the jet stream and the storm track. you can see here this big ridge of high pressure has been anchored over the western portion of the united states. for the past few months which is why we haven't had significant rainfall. you can see the storm track going well into canada. they are getting the clipper systems and that deep cold on the east coast. we have high pressure in the extreme opposite here. it's interesting how our earth

is trying to come to equilibrium. this has been the case for the past few months as we talked about and just yesterday we were boosted up from a severe drought to an extreme drought so 63% of the state extreme, reservoirs at one third of their capacity. and this is something we're going to talk about at least for the next few months. there is a slight chance in our forecast, i'll talk about that. i'll send it back to you, terry and laura. >> we continue to keep an eye on a developing story out of southern california. firefighters are slowly making progress on this wildfire burning about 25 miles east of los angeles. fire officials say the flames are no longer spreading but that could change in a hurry with a threat of santa ana winds. five homes are destroyed and nearly 4,000 people still out of homes at this hour. one of the homes that burned the singer mansion from the singer

sewing machine family. the fire is 30% contained. no word whether charges will be filed against three men for allegedly sparking the fire. one of the men admitted their ellegal camp fire could be to blame. the man accused of setting fires in a neighborhood is expected in court. police say patrick brennan intentionally set at least 12 fires over the course of five days. the sergeant who cracked the case jason kidwell says he plugged the information into several data bases and brennan's profile kept coming up as a possible match. kidwell matched bren tune a stretch and surveillance video. for the past months brennan lived in a trailer a few yards from a church investigators say he set on fire. >> new this morning it's a scary scene in one neighborhood after a car smashed into a tomorrow damaging a gas meter. peggy bunker joins us live where neighbors were given the all clear to return to their homes.

>> reporter: yes. good news there. we'll get to that. but imagine it's about 11:00 at night, you've gone to bed when out of the blue a car smashes right into your bedroom. that was the scene last night in sunnyvale. look at the scene from last night after a green suv plowed right into the side of this house. shee shearing off the gas meter. cutting off the gas line. you can see on the road here some of the skid marks which sort of indicate the speed of how quickly this car was going. it was speeding down the road, sort of veers to the left and over the line and bam, right into the house. immediately there was a sense of gas in the air. houses around this house were evacuated while they brought in pg&e, also the police and fire departments to make sure that the situation was safe. take a listen to lieutenant tim

ahern. >> it took out the corner of the house. it was at the angle it was not in the house, then we had the tow truck remove it out. >> reporter: back here live at the scene, take a look at the house this morning. the homeowner apparently refused to go to the hospital. there were minor injuries she sustained. right now a 52-year-old man is in custody for dui, we understand he is in police custody at this time. we have one report from neighbors that he was quite argumentative with police before being arrested here on scene for dui. the homeowner went back inside, apparently went back to sleep though it's got to be chilly. according to pg&e they did shut down the gas for the one house due to safety precautions and apparently it's not turned back on so they chose to go back to bed. you can see the windows boarded up as they continue to get the damage there taken care of and the gas probably turned back on today. 52-year-old man in custody for

suspected dui and we'll follow this. imagine that night for that homeowner. >> i can't imagine waking up that way. thanks so much. now to the 49ers and their quest for six. two days and counting until the 49ers and seahawks square off with a trip to the super bowl on the line. playoff fever spreading as well. >> bob is live in santa clara with how the team could impact your drive home from work. >> reporter: good morning. yes, that could happen as the team is heading off to seattle but before that happens they are going to have a round of practice here at the training facility in santa clara and then as they head north over san francisco, the players could look out the the window and catch a glimpse of this, sf city hall glowing and red and gold. chris in san jose, in a few hours, he will create around 65 of his popular chris combo

sandwiches for the team. these have become a tradition this season pretty much every time the team hits the road. one of the coaches turned a few of the players on to them and again, around 65 sandwiches, not sure how many players will be doubling or tripling up on those. not sure if it's 65 people or 30 or who knows. when the niners grab those and hit the road there could be a traffic mess. a handful of team buses to 880 south, likely exiting coleman to get to the airport for their flight. for security reason there is will be police escorts. they are expected to shut down the freeway near 101 and the 880 interchange, again, that could impact your drive home briefly. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it's all for a distinguish cause. >> of course. our 9ers. got to cheer them on. later today 9ers take off from

the santa clara headquarters. >> as they gear up for the game the seahawks will be out on the practice field in seattle where andrea joins us with a look at a high profile player who could be missing in action. >> reporter: percy harvin was missing from practice trying to get clearance after suffering a concussion in the game against the saints. at this point the seahawks wide receivers are prepare forge the possibility that harvin will not play on sunday. >> we -- i think we're fine without him. we handled it just right and we've handled our business, we won our games, made the big plays, obviously want him on the field, we feel like he gives a better chance to win but the show must go on. we can't -- because we don't have him, so i think our receiver group, we're prepared to up our load even more and do more for this offense.

>> it's tough because we're all close to percy, we all love him as a teammate and as a person so it hurts us to not have him on the field because we know how badly he wants to be on the field. but i think like we've consistently said we've got guys around russell, weapons on the outside that can make plays and making plays all season long. i don't think it's so much of a hit on production wise. i just think that we would love to have him because he adds another element to the offense. >> reporter: pete carroll says his status is in the hands of the doctor f. he is a no go doug baldwin will fill in returning kicks. >> thanks so much. be sure to join us tomorrow night for a 49ers special. we'll break down the match-up, joined by our nfl insiders. tomorrow 6:30 here on nbc bay area. >> i got a terrible vision here.

obvious. we bring that up front and then we go about our base and say consistent how we handle these opportunities so we can do it really well. we know how we want to go about it. we'll see but that's how we do. >> it's just another game for us. trying to have the best week i can, put myself in a position to do well and help this team. i'm sure things night change on monday rein i realize but right now i'm trying to focus on the game plan and what they are going to try to do to us. >> reporter: this is the first postseason meeting between these two and the seahawks unbeatable at tomorrow. they won six straight at century link field back to 2005. police in seattle will be out in force this weekend trying

to make sure this rivalry stays friendly. police are gearing up for scalpers and rowdy fans. >> reporter: there are a lot of events happening where there will be a rally and even sfar bucks as the fans fear it. spd knows about all of the events, they are ramping up. what's different it's not just patrols outside but they are expanding all throughout the city because of such an intense rivalry. >> if there is an incident, then we're prepared to handle that. >> reporter: police i will be outside the field and it isn't just in uniform but many wearing team jerseys. win or lose, seattle police don't want to see anything

similar to what happened in 1995. flans caused problems. this sunday officers remember that. they will be positioned around the downtown area to watch for things like big problems. >> i can imagine capitol hill will be busy. the u-district will be business sew it's wherever people gather to tach the game. >> no major incidents to speak of. seahawks fans have been well beha behaved. in seattle, jake wittenberg. >> 5:50. how colin kaepernick is bringing new attention to a southern california teen's clothing line. >> a food skael that doesn't weigh your food.

>> we continue to follow the 49ers' quest for six. a story you might like. colin kaepernick credited for helping out a young designer. >> this is what he was wearing during his post game interview. the vest was designed by a 13-year-old from los angeles. jeremiah johns is a teen behind the company. he didn't realize kaepernick was going to wear it until he saw it on tv. he was blown away. jeremiah is a huge 49ers fan. when he realized kaepernick's birthday he sent it. >> jeremiah started his line about five years ago. >> my birthday's in march.

>> gadget friday. the vest is not the gadget. >> scott, you say you like what your gadget doesn't do. >> what it doesn't do. it's a food scale. it's from a company called the orange chef. you don't use to the figure out how much food weighs. it sounds crazy but when you are weighing food you don't care how many grams or ounces it is, you care about how much sugar and carbs and fat you get. so that's why dieters weigh food. the scale shows you things the proteins and sugars and -- not grams and ounces. i can put something on the scale say like milk. i can scan the bottle using my ip ipad. it will shoot the results over to my ipad so. here is a close-up of my ipad showing me exactly how much saturated fat, unsaturated fat, protein and sugar and what not are in my glass of milk. or i can tell it to weigh an apple and the same thing is going to happen. check out my ipad.

apples have way more sugar than i thought. pretty much all carbohydrate. you can tell the scale to alert you when you go over a certain limit. helpful to diabetics, what is neat you can start stacking things together and so if you want to limit say your fat intake, start adding almonds and watch your ipad and figure out how many fat grams you're getting, no hold on. >> how would you scan your almonds? >> you have to tell it almonds. it will know. things that have the upc symbol you can go like at the store. you watch the bar graph move. >> or weight lifters. >> not in stores yet, only work with ipad mini, but they will be available in march. i think it's a clever idea. nobody cares how many ounces something is. >> right. it's interesting is it totable though? if you are taking it --

>> i don't know if you would take it to a restaurant. i suppose it would depend on your level of dedication. that's about the weight of a book. >> bring it to a restaurant you might insult the chef. >> some people do it. i suppose, again w diabetics would be the big one. >> fascinating. very interesting. >> clever. >> gadget friday. >> thanks, scott. >> want to check in with christina. >> one of the things that makes friday so wonderful. good morning to you. a three-day weekend unfortunately we are in a drought here in the bay area. but you are going to get beach weather so we like to take an optimistic view waiting on a meeting this morning with governor brown. he might declare a state of emergency because of that drought. we don't know for sure but we'll let you know. 77 in the south bay, 76 degrees in the east bay, 74 in san francisco. holding on to record warmth for the next four days.
