extremely flammable. more than 150 firefighters on the ground yesterday, four planes, two helicopters dropping water and flame retardant from the air. as for the cause. calfire is investigating this silver convertible car that was abandoned and burned on the side of metcalf road. what's not clear is, was the car in an accident, was it stolen and intentionally set on fire or did something else happen to it. reporting live in san jose, bob redell. today in the bay. thank you very much, bob. happening now across california, firefighters continue to battle more than a dozen fires burning up and down our golden state. this is a look at all the active fires calfire is working on now. one of the biggest burning in butte county. governor jerry brown declared a state of emergency as the so-called wall fire continues to tear through more than 5800 acres. at least 37 structures including
