for whatever they were doing, they started the fire. you can look at in the back yard, there's washers and dryers, small add ply anss, a lot of items. and then cabinetry and metal sheeting in the back. it all went up in flames. when this fire started, unfortunately it spread to the gas meter that feeds the natural gas to this home. as you look at this video, that's why the flames shot so high into the air because it's gas fed. that represented a huge challenge for the fire department. when they did arrive, they had to call for a second al loorm, reinforce. because you had this gas-fed situation. the other problem, power lines running to the property, those caught fire as well. a risk of electrocution. a very difficult job for the fire department. we understood it took over 70 minutes to turn off that gas. there was four people who lived here. they all got out okay. unfortunately they can't live in this house right now because

it's been so badly damaged, and also because of the gas situation. there were over 350 people in this neighborhood and on the business cross streets who also had to be evacuated until they were able to declare the scene safe. as you can see behind me, the fire department has since left and they've got this area fenced off. you know have this burned-out mess in the yard. four people without a home with a gas-fed fire caused by somebody frying chicken on the patio in the back. live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much. a student sickened by tuberculosis has parents and other students concerned at an oakland high school. last night health leaders held an informational meeting at skyline high. the health department plans to test up to 300 students and others who may have been close to the infected student. health experts say it's pretty hard to spread tb and there are a number of effective drugs that treat it. most people who are infected

speaks on another person. while the transfer of tb may sound like it's pretty easy to catch, county health officials say it takes prolonged exposure for it to be passed from one person to another. for one of the parents at last night's meeting whose kid is in a relationship with this infected student, it's nerve-racking. >> the person, as my daughter told me, was coughing up blood. so he's in the hospital. he's been in the hospital for several weeks. >> they can do testing to see if there may have been exposure and provide medication to help prevent what we call disease, when you actually have symptoms, you're coughing and have the lung infection or pneumonia. >> reporter: those 200 to 300 students will be tested next week. alameda county has a program. if you have questions or concerns, we have more information on our website, nbcbayarea.com. pete suratos for "today in the
