facade could come down. there's a common attic. it started in the barber shop, it extended to the right to to convenient store. the fire department, a two-alarm fire, still fighting this fire at evelyn and fair oaks. if you have business in the area, part of the intersection is shut down. again, they don't know the cause. live in sunnyvale, bob redell, "today in the bay." coming up next, a second emergency landing for a bay area flight this week. hear from the local man who helped restrain an unruly passenger.

that black hole is, that barber shop was fully involved. unfortunately it extended to the right to a liquor store and also to the left where you have a grocery store and a taco rio. firefighters are keeping their distance from the building, on the defensive. that's the posture the chief tells us they're taking. they're taking a defensive posture for good reason. >> the biggest challenge is the common attic construction, so you have fire and smoke running the whole roof. >> why did you go on the defensive? >> we went on defensive because that front facade is extremely heavy when it's impinged by fire it can collapse and it's an extreme hazard for firefighters. we're not doing any front of the building fire attack, doing it all defensively from the roof. >> back out here live you can

see a sunnyvale firefighter on top of an aerial ladder trying to break through the facade. that area above the barber shop has had a lot of smoke and fire. they're trying to get in there so they can put this fire out. this is a fire burning for an hour and a half. the fire department doesn't know what caused it. fortunately there's no reports of injuries. in other words, no one inside at the time and the firefighters are doing okay. live in sunnyvale, bob redell, "today in the bay." we do have an update to more breaking news this morning. one person is dead in a fighter jet crash in england. the f-18 crashed shortly after takeoff from the u.s. air force base about 70 miles northeast of london. officials confirm the pilot was the only one on board the fighter jet. the air force is now investigating the cause of the crash. happening right now, a search for a young boy last seen walking his dog on the north coast. members of the marin county search and rescue team are joining the search for a 5-year-old last seen yesterday about 5:00 in the afternoon or

the county is working to find out exactly how the outbreak started at marisco's san juan. folks ate there friday night, saturday afternoon. they did not all order the same thing. so the public health director and the attorney working with two of the victims of this shigella outbreak say this outbreak is really unusual. >> most of the people that were ill are middle aged or young healthy people who you wouldn't necessarily assume would be severely ill from shigella. >> you don't generally see 12 people, a dozen people in the icu, even in some of the worst food-borne illness cases. >> reporter: he should know. that attorney is working with two of the people who got sick at eating at marisco's san yuan. he represented 16 families who contracted shigella back in 2000. in that case one person died and more than 100 others got sick.
