talking major cooling, 71 for san francisco even after yesterday getting back into the 80s. let's talk about the traffic report this morning and switch gears. you can see we've still got green on the map, but starting to see incidents pop up in san francisco and approaching the bay bridge. 101 starts to slow as you get towards 87. 880 an earlier accident northbound at the 237 connector. from the tri-valley, starting to see red and orange on the map showing slowing in 60 and pleasanton and slowing on 880 in oakland. here is a shot in dublin, things looking good, but the roadways are jam packed. good news. dublin, no problems there. 6:01. now to an inferno seen from blocks away. that thick smoke and fierp shooting through the sky in east san jose last night as gas fueled a house fire near james lick high school. >> bob, firefighters managed to stop the flames quickly.

still a dangerous situation for crews and neighbors there. >> reporter: it was. what's remarkable, laura and sam, is no one was hurt in spite of what happened here behind me. it was about an hour ago that san jose fire department confirmed to us, somebody who lives in this home on lee court and white road, in this house, they were flying some chicken in the back yard and whatever happened, that fire started from that. you can see it burned a lot of metal structure here, metal sheeting. there's metal cabinetry, metal appliances, washer and drier. unfortunately it spread to the gas meter. that's why we had the flames shooting so high up into the air because of this gas-fed fire. this started around 7:20 last night. when the fire department arrived, they had to call for backup, reenforcement, a second alarm to get help because this was a gas-fueled fire. they also had the challenge of

the overhead fire line that was across the property. that caught fire as well. as a result, they had the risk of electrocution. so they had to take their time to get this out. it took about 70 minutes to finally turn off the gas and get ahead on this fire. again, this fire starting around 7:20 last night. they had to evacuate nearby homes, businesses across the street, and like i said, the four people who lived here, they got out okay. they are, of course, now finding a temporary home because this place right here, their house is severely damaged if it's not destroyed, it's hard to tell the extent of the damage inside the home. again, it was somebody frying chicken in the back yard that the san jose fire department believes was the cause of the fire. live in east san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much. friends and family right now mourning the death of a san jose state student. this happened over the weekend at sequoia national park east of fresno. he drown during a trip with other students and staff members
