were here they disconnected all the power. >> am in 30 minutes? >> it was about 20 minutes. >> reporter: as you can see back out here live, pg&e is out here dealing with that power line that you can see a dangling. you can imagine at the beginning it was making contact with the fence, energizing it, workers are out here to fix that. again, this fire is out, a two-alarm fire. no one was at home -- or on site at the time, this started in the in the middle of the night. the dog is fine. they still don't know the cause. reporting live here in pittsburg, bob redell, "today in the bay." more breaking news. this time in the south bay where san jose police are trying to piece together what led to a deadly shooting early this morning. around 2:30 a man who had been shot drove up to the social security offers on fontaine road, near tully road and 101. he died at the hospital. officers are now going door to door, this is a live look at the scene, they've been going to nearby hotels to see if there were any witnesses.

are going to have a fire that's not only going to burn fast but burn big which was the case. this was a two-alarm fire. one of the big challenges for the fire department when they first arrived, was the fact that they had a dangling power line that was energizing the chain-link fence on the perimeter. for the first 20 minutes while they waited for pg&e to arrive the fire department had to start attacking this from above with a ladder hose until the pg&e crews were able to come out here and turn off the power. this he did get this fire out within about an hour. we did ask the battalion chief if there was anything suspicious about what happened last night. >> it's hard to say. there are -- there are some accidental causes, you could get a fire in a sawdust bin that can burn for quite a while before it's ee tekd and that can be on the magnitude of 10 or 11 hours. so that's a possibility.

but it is middle of the night, you get a fire out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night it makes you wonder. >> reporter: pg&e as you can see back out here live is trying to restore power to this section of this industrial area here. again, at harbor and industry in pittsburg. no one was on site at the time, just the dog and had a dog is fine. reporting live here in pittsburg, bob redell, "today in the bay." right now let's get a check of your microclimate forecast. a live look outside at the hills in sunol. >> pretty. >> it's pretty. pretty hot later today. >> you can't tell how dry it is out there, but it is and the heat is going to warm things up. >> it cranks up today. not good for all of the dry conditions that we do have. there may be a little bit of something if the forecast that will help us out toward the end of the weekend. right now we're getting ready for another hot day. as we take a live look at san jose you see those low clouds and the sun coming out as we start out the day the clouds
