neighborhood. christie smith just arrived gathering information. they had to call for backup. how big is this? >> reporter: good morning to you. i only had a second to hear from firefighters before i had to run here and talk to you. what they told me is that the good news is that they have this fire knocked down. when i walked over there where you see the lights and people moving around it's in the rear of the building there what they call a church office. when i walked over there was smoke but we couldn't see flames. they said it was moving really quickly. a lot of flames when they first arrived. that was their focus keep it from spreading. there were small homes so they didn't want to the spread. what they tell us now didn't get information on a cause yet, but that they do have it knocked down. the sign on the building out front did say church of god of san jose, that's not church but the building next to it is the

one that suffered the damage. what i'm going to do is check in with firefighters in a minute or two, and then come back with you for more information. what they tell us it appears they have it knocked down. that's the latest, reporting live in san jose, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. this week southern california quake rattling nerves in the south bay. we've known for a while the anderson dam in morgan hill is not seismically safe a. significant quake could knock it down sending billions of gallons of water into morgan hill and much of the valley. bob is live in morgan hill with why the push to fix the dam is in high gear. >> good morning. because the people who monitor, who maintain the anderson dam have been told they have to get it fixed. the state and fed have both asked the santa clara valley water district to fix the anderson dam, to have it retrofitted by the year 2018 which means that work could

begin on this project very soon. in the next 12 months. the problem is that this earthen structure comprised of clay and rock, it's old, it's seismically unsafe. the belief is that a 6.6 quake on the nearby fault could cause it to burst and send a wall of water that would flood morgan hill, gilroy and san jose. it's unlikely, experts say it's slim but there is that possibility. hence the need for this getting fixed. it would cost roughly $123 million. here's the hitch to this. in order for them to fix the dam that means that the reservoir would have to be drained. and of course the timing is not good considering we're in the middle of this drought. >> we're asked to conserve but water is disappearing. >> the timing is difficult. we're obviously in a drought right now. we don't have to make that

decision today. >> reporter: again, the deadline for the dam to be repaired is 2018 so the district has leeway. it's possible that the district could ask for a delay from the state and feds if this drought were to get worse f. they do go ahead with their plan for draining would not take place until fall of next year. whatever water is drained would be diverted. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> happening now, crews still on guard watching for flare-ups following this brush fire that burned 40 acres in pittsburg. this burned close to a power plant on west tenth street. the plant was not active when the fire started. it began yesterday afternoon but was not contained until 7:00. lots of people walk and drive through the area so investigators hope that someone saw something and they are

willing to help them. >> all the brush is so dry across the bay area. >> exactly. >> a live look outside this morning near san francisco where the moisture usually is in the care there. i want to check win mob. we're concerned about this potential drought. >> the reservoir issues and perhaps an early start to fire season. across the south bay and tri-valley it doesn't get worse than a dhrks 4, exceptional drought. that's the highest end. and it doesn't look like we're going to see freezing rain in the forecast for now, but maybe toward the middle of next week things will change. a little bit of a change in the weather. a half mile in santa rosa. low clouds and fog. some mist or drizzle. that's about the only precipitation we'll see in the forecast. onshore winds even with the sunshine we should see temperatures coming down a little bit. the storm track out toward the

pacific northwest but you'll notice in the seven-day forecast, changes beginning next tuesday and wednesday. right now the mild pattern holds. then by next week as we jump to tuesday and wednesday there come a few showers. so a chance of seeing rain especially wednesday, then another system moving into the north bay by next saturday. in the meantime, right now dry except on the coast where we could have drizzle. 72 in san jose. mid to upper 60s around the peninsula, low to mid-60s around the peninsula toward san francisco. low 70s in the valley. and temperatures climbing through monday. by tuesday and wednesday we'll hope we'll get more than a quarter inch, the models are showing for the rainfall totalings approaching the middle of next week. >> today's forecast looks great for the tri-valley. the current for the speeds horrible. this is west 580. you see the signs lit up. as you approach el charo and the

auto mall there is the crawl. there was an earlier crash west of the interchange at san ramon road. furniture across lanes, half of the freeway blocked maybe an hour. that's what set off all of this. slew for a friday westbound 580 out of livermore where it slows down over toward castro valley. all of those folks are making a burst toward y., plan on slowing as well. they are all looking predictable as far as a friday. but in the south bay, i circled the area where laura reported the fire. willow glen that's not far from willow glen. and line 82 may have to reroute because the crews are blocking at curtis.

101 has recovered. that was unusual for san jose. that has cleared. we'll jump up to the bay bridge. let me give you a look. the sensors aren't such a big deal. the fast track lanes are moving. friday we don't see this until maybe 45 minutes. this is early. still a big change. we don't -- metering lights just turned on so there you go. we'll show you the slow drive. nothing unusual through berkeley or emeryville. this orange where the fog may impede your view around a quarter mile. rob's been telling you about that. back to you. >> time now 6:11. still ahead, twitter turning 8 years old. a look at our first tweet including one that mentions a sunk. >> the newest millionaire isn't in the tech industry. where a cabbie won nearly $2

brackets. and over 80% of espn brackets. so we know warren buffett has extra cash to spare. perhaps he was relieved. >> harvard took down cincinnati which brought the failure rate to the 95 percent range. again that means just 5% of brackets are still eligible for the billion dollar prize from warren buffett. >> of course the action will continue later this morning. that's when stanford will look to upset new mexico state. that game will start at 10:40. that's when you can expect your office productivity to plummet. everybody will be watching. the cal poly mustangs hope to be the story of the big dance. they take on top ranked wichita state at 4:10. >> i'm going to take stanford and cal poly. >> today twitter turning eight. >> to celebrate the site is taking users back to their first

threat to the neighboring homes, there are trees in front of this building here so certainly they didn't want those to go up. they made a quick attack and now firefighters have this knocked down and under control. what they tell us is that this is actually converted house or office to the church of god of san jose, that's actually not the church itself that caught fire. this started bat 5:27 this morning with a neighbor reporting smoke and flames coming from the rear of the building. san jose fire arrived at minnesota and curtis avenue and quickly called for a second alarm. >> initially wew the threat to the neighborhood we need those resources here if we need to use them. one of the rules of the business is if you call it too late it's not going to do you any good. so, we had a whole full first alarm working, we had no units available to deploy so that's an automatic upgrade. >> reporter: no one was injured in all this, but the building

badly damaged. they don't know yet how it started but one firefighter told me it got their radar up, their attention that this is a church office, they pay close attention to any fire at assembly halls, churches or schools. they say at this point there is nothing to suggest that this is suspicious but they do have investigators on the way. they will be here for at least another hour doing overhaul. i heard briefly from the pastor's wife and she said that church services will continue as normal on sunday. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> wondering about that. >> checking in now, a look at the weekend forecast, also church sunday you want to know how that's going to shape up. >> wear a bon snet. >> fine. don't have to worry about getting rained on except maybe the coast. we also have some low clouds spilling in. there is a view around the bay area. a tour from north to south, as you look at our temperatures,

40s and low 50s, san jose mostly clear, light winds around the fire near willow glen so that's good news. the wind not causing a problem. here's one of the changes we're going to see. you got the low clouds over the bay bridge now. and some of that pushing in toward the east bay this morning. it's a sign the ocean air conditioning is back and the marine layer swept in which will drop our temperatures at least today, a few degrees, then numbers rebounding through the weekend. 40s now around the south bay, sunnyvale 42, seeing low 40s out toward redwood city, you still have clearing toward the santa clara valley. temperatures up around san francisco in the 50s, and out around the tri-valley jacket weather, 45 in dublin, 46 in livermore and 44 in santa rosa. we're still watching out for patchy fog. less than a half mile visibility in the north bay valleys with low clouds on the coast, down toward santa cruz we'll see cool temperatures with winds onshore today. not near the 80s but 60s and 70s

in today's forecast. lake county may be late today a stray shower popping up as instability heating of the day. otherwise high clouds inland and low clouds staying on the coast all day long. it does look to be a chilly weekend if you're going to head to the beaches from half moon bay to santa cruz. dry for the most part from now through about with let's say next monday. by tuesday and wednesday we'll see the jet stream drop south. you see much needed chances of rain there middle part of next week, then another one for saturday. so that is the roller coaster ride in the seven-day forecast. starting tuesday. there come the chances of seeing showers. but not a lot of rain. most of this will fall midnight, tuesday night into wednesday morning. and then we're only looking at a third of an inch for the north bay and less than a quarter for south of san francisco as the system comes in middle part of next week. today high clouds at times, 70s around san jose. upper 60s around the peninsula. low 60s for san francisco. low 70s into the north bay once
