pete suratos is live on the ground at the scene of the fire investigation. is this a concern this is going to continue to spread or does it sound like they have a handle on it? >> reporter: well, good morning to you, kris and sam. we're in position waiting to get more information from the sheriff's department and the fire crew on the ground. just off goodyear road i can tell you this fire is still going here, that vegetation fire as we've been reporting all morning long. according to a person who works in the area, not far from the sfrat the park, says it looks to be an organics company. what's catching on fire appears to be mulch. we're talking about maybe tree bark, grass, mulch, along those lines. that's what appears to be catching on fire. we're going to get more information to know what may have caused the fire. at least speak iing to the pers who works in the area this is a concern when you talk about the

heat wave and folks being careless, flicking a cigarette in this area. you don't know the cause. some of the things they worry about around this time of year. you are looking at a viewpoint -- a bird's eye view of what's taking place, this vegetation fire off 680 north on goodyear road in benicia. one of the concerns is those winds move east it could be an issue as far as trying to contain this. we'll bring you another update to the newsroom. we're live in benicia, pete suratos. >> pete, thank you very much. we can see cars slowing down this on the highway. mike will get to that aspect in one moment. >> kari, firefighters knew this could be a concern because we had so much brush that grew. >> not only that but it's been so dry. what is working in their favor this morning we are at the point of the day we do have the highest amount of humidity in the air and we also had very humid conditions from the humid

conditions out of a thunderstorm over the sierra. and now we still have a high risk of some thick brush catching on fire as we look at our fire danger risk level over the next several days. humidity is most likely right now 63% range but we'll be dropping as we go throughout the day and the winds picking up and look iing at temperatures not oy around benicia and what we are expecting with a high of 101 degrees. you can see the humidity is at 61%. we will see the temperatures ramp up as we go through the day. i will talk about that in a few minutes, what you can expect where you live. mike now has a traffic break in palo alto. >> chp is stopping all traffic presumably to clear the two vehicles, the two trucks from the middle of northbound 101

just shy of university. it is a short section of 101. 280 is a good option if you can jump on. coming off the dumbarton bridge is not a problem. heading to the benicia bridge, a fire here on the eastern side. as pete is talking about between the freeway and the water but there's a lot of fuel there because of all of that organic material that appears to be burning there. so the smoke is a distraction for the commute coming off the split and down in towards that benicia bridge right around lake herman road. that's the off ramp. you talked about it being on goodyear. that's been a distraction and that might be sending more cars as they make that choice. sky ranger is showing us southbound 680. for those who think they will be clever using the frontage road, that's close to the refinery on

the west side of 680, this is coming towards the benicia bridge and all that smoke blowing away from the freeway but if the wind shifts that could be even more of an issue for drivers. back to you. >> we'll mon are tore. thank you very much. so now to breaking news out of london where police are in the latest terror attack. it happened just overnight. police say that suspect drove a van into a group of people. >> the victims in the case were worshippers who were gathered outside of a mosque after a prayer ceremony during ramadan. ten people were injured. this happened shortly after midnight london time. the driver, 48-year-old man, was arrested on the scene after a group of people were able to capture him. witnesses report the driver was laughing after they approached the car, when he crashed it and said, quote, i'm going to kill all muslims. >> a white male in his van knew exactly what he was doing.

he waited outside thes mosque. his target was muslims. he knew what time prayers were finished. he started plowing his van into them. >> england's prime minister theresa may said the attack is, quote, every bit as sickening, four attacks in three months. one person did die at the scene. investigators, though, at this point say it's unclear if that person's death was or was directly caused by the attack. remembering the dozens of lives lost in a devastating high-rise apartment fire. a moment of silence was held this morning as the death toll went up to 79 people. meantime we're getting our first look at the aftermath left by those flames. these photos provided by london metropolitan police showing the charred ruins. experts believe the materials used to build that building may have helped those flames to spread. two british cabinet ministers say those materials used in a renovation may have been banned under british building regulation.

this morning we could learn new details on a police shooting on the bay bridge that halted eastbound traffic for hours on sunday. the san francisco chp says officers grabbed were at the scene of the crash when a red car drove around traffic and seemed to be going right towards officers. the driver allegedly did not follow the commands he was given to stop. one officer opened fire. the suspect was taken to the hospital with injuries. it's not clear how badly he was wounded. passengers in the car were not hurt. 6:07 and happening today councilmembers of san mateo tonight are expected to sign off on a deal to equip their police officers with body cameras. city leaders approved the deal last year. we know the city will spend close to $700,000 for that technology. the city hopes to have the program up and running by this fall. also happening today, a public hearing on raising sewer rates. the city is considering raising rates by 30% to help pay for

complex yesterday afternoon. that's about a were damaged and fighting the flames during the record heat proved to be quite a task for crews. the hot temperatures forced them to call in for more help. >> when we're wearing our heavy gear on a normal day, having to do all this work on a day like today just makes the amount of time you can work so much shorter. we bring in a lot of extra personnel to rotate people quickly that we don't wipe out our own people. >> it took about 30 minutes for crews to gain control of the fire. no one was injured. 6:15 right now. some business and tech news this morning. u.s. markets poised to start the week higher after a major win for french presideien emmanuel . retailers right now in grocery stores taking a beating on the heels of amazon's $13 billion

because it's along 680 in cordelia. we spoke about concerns. it happens from time to time around this time of the year. >> they usually get one to two fires a year. i think most of it is because people have thrown their cigarettes off the top of the freeway down into the pit. there's always concern when there's grass. it's a possibility that could go up. >> reporter: now the cause of the fire is still under investigation and as you're looking at these piles there trying to tear up these piles showily but had he are making some progress working on that big stump right there. that could be the biggest issue. the winds are not helping. they were at the same location dealing with the same situation and when that happened they said they were out here for several hours and could be out here working on this fire until about 5:00 p.m.
