6:05 am
check in critical condition. live in fairfax, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. a close call and a miscalculation by one north bay homeowner forcing neighbors to have to evacuate their homes. firefighters say a man started cutting down a 100-foot pine tree on marin drive in mill valley after 6:00 last night. before it came all of the way down, he realized something. the tree was headed in the wrong direction right toward power lines. once the power was cut, crews managed to redirect the tree and bring it down safely. neighbors only returned to their homes late last night. a cloud of dust leading to a cloud of controversy on the peninsula. a pile of junk dumped in san carlos have some people who live nearby saying it's making them sick. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in san carlos. neighbors want to know what is under that tarp. where does it come from. you said samtrans owns this land. >> reporter: they say they leased this to be a pumpkin patch and that all of this debris that was dumped here was
6:06 am
dumped here illegally. again, that's according to samtrans. we know it's construction debris and the head of the east san carlos neighborhood association says the pile really did go from eyesore to health concern on saturday. that's the day the winds kicked up and started blowing dust into the neighborhood. since then some of the people who live here tell us they've been coughing and wheezing and the head of the neighborhood association tells us he has a tremor in his hand that wasn't there before. >> i saw basically what i felt was a brown plume of dust that was coming into our neighborhood. the sun was blotted out. the air smelled terrible. we've been told the materials been tested by an outside agency, but we haven't gotten results back of what's in the land yet. >> reporter: again, the head of the neighborhood association says that he has been in contact with the city. the city has not responded to our calls yet. the vice mayor did tell san
6:07 am
mateo general that there is no indication that the waste is dangerous. no dump is going to accept this into a landfill until they know what it is and the tests are outstanding. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 6:07. one of the worst fires in state history is now 100% contained. firefighters fully surrounded the valley fire yesterday. they are still out there mopping up hot spots in the containment zone. that fire burned more than 76,000 acres in lake sonoma and napa counties. four people were killed and nearly 2,000 structures destroyed. more than 1,200 of those were homes. devastating. >> happy to close that chapter of recent history and start a new one. we're starting a brand new day. a very similar weather story. let's check in with meteorologist kari hall. >> not much different from yesterday. we do see the clouds this

6:09 am
there may still be vehicles in lanes. that's right why things are starting to slow down heading down into san leandro. moving the map up, we see slowing toward the san mateo bridge and reports of that crash and maybe a couple lanes blocked or affected by crews that arrived to take care of that crash shy of the toll plaza holding folks up from the peninsula. dumbarton moves slowly and so does the traffic build approaching highway 84. northbound route through san jose, 101 and 87 holding with their build. rest seeing traffic northbound through san jose. that's a typical pattern. back to you. >> keeping with the transportation trend, today we should find out where the high-speed rail project stands. we do know the project will blend high-speed trains with caltrain from san francisco to san jose. the $68 billion high-speed rail line is under construction. a hot button issue.

6:15 am
behavior as a possible explanation. >> in 2003 there were published results that haormone therapy ws dangerous and we saw breast cancer rates drop rapidly in marin county and other parts of the country. >> cancer prevention institute has been tracking breast cancer rates since 1988. as you may be aware, october is breast cancer awareness month. california made a bold move to close the pay gap between men and women. yesterday governor brown signed the fair pay act in richmond. american women worked in factories and shipyards during world war ii. the new law is one of the toughest pay equity laws in the country. >> this is a big day. important. the inequities that plagued our state and have burdened women forever are slowly being resolved. >> starting january 1 of the, employers must prove a man's
