the job of a firefighter is as you've got several firefighters on the offensive inside what is a very smoke-filled building. inside that community center with their masks and oxygen tanks on. so they can try to fight this fire from the inside as well. this started around 3:50 this morning. i spoke with a man who lives around this community center, tells us the community center, the centerpiece for this particular part of millbrae. he said it started as smoke investigation, smoke coming out and then of course it grew to unfortunately what you're seeing right now which is a three alarm fire. he believes based on his understanding of the layout of the community center this started in the kitchen. that is not confirmed yet by the fire departments. but he believes it started in the kitchen and possibly spread to an auditorium. again, this is somebody very familiar with the layout of this millbrae community center. as i mentioned, this has grown to a third alarm which means the fire department had to twice call for backup for the second 1/3 alarm. we know south county is here which covers millbrae,

hillsboro, sam bruno, and the, i believe the millbrae fire department are here as well. again, a lot of local roads here which is not going to effect your commute traffic, are shut down as you've got a lot of firefighters out here trying to put out this fire again that is urng be through the millbrae community center. reporting live here in millbrae, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. more breaking news right now. dangerous and scary situation in brisbane overnight. shots were fired at a large party. about midnight police responded to reports of a party near the intersection of bay shore and industrial. they arrived on scene to find 300 people partying in a field behind a warehouse. as police were shutting the party down they then heard a gunshots. two people were taken to a nearby trauma center and their conditions right now are unknown. police are still searching for the shooter or shooters at that party. also new this morning on the peninsula, a police chase ends right in front of a new correctional facility, a women's

horrible. cann cannot even see the hand in front of your face. it was his impression that this fire started on the outside of the building. of course it's too early to tell. battalion chief didn't have any information with regards to that. we did speak with somebody who is a resident who has lived in this area very familiar with the community center and he saw the smoke coming out of the building around 3:50 and it was under his impression that it started in the kitchen area. again, nothing confirmed as far as the source or the cause of this fire. that resident however says it is sad to see this figure piece of the neighborhood go up in flames like this. >> this center is important to everybody. i come here every year for the easter egg hunt. used to in high school. and i think this is an important part of our community. and to see this is kind of surprising to me, if not just shock. >> this fire has grown as you can telling us earlier, sam and laura, within the past 30 minutes to a fourth alarm. that means that the fire department had to call for --

command had to call for backup three times. get extra units out here. three agencies at least out here. millbrae, south county, and central county which covers the millbrae and sam bruno fire department out here as well. so you have a lot of firefighters out here again trying to put out this fire that's been burning for well over an hour here at the millbrae community center. reporting live in millbrae, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> let's hope they get a handle of it soon. new this morning shs wild chase on the peninsula ends with a suspect jumping a fence right on to jail property. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live there in redwood city. that's where the pursuit ended. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, sam and laura. this is the new maple street correctional facility where the suspect was arrested and where he may end up once again after he's booked at the san mateo county main jail. here's a look at that pursuit. i know you saw some of it. begins after the driver of that bmw refuses to stop.
