we'll continue to update you in a half hour and get information on when the streets are going to open up. live in san francisco, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you for keeping us updated there. we are following breaking news in the south bay this morning. a fire erupts on a train tressel interrupting service. >> kris sanchez has how it could affect the morning commute. >> reporter: it's going to be a difficult morning. perhaps not more difficult than folks got used to. we saw a train going by. caltrain did inspect their tracks and they are singing tracking. they have been doing that for a while because of restoration work. let's show you the flames firefighters came on shortly before we got here at 4:00 this morning. they were flying 40 feet in the air. we know it is a 200 stretch of wooden train tressel on fire.

the fire put out in 45 minutes. in that time, the damage was done. caltrain will be impacted. we have seen union pacific crews out here this morning. here is where you can expect the slowdown in your commute. it is between the tamien station and diridon. the fire captain tells us crews were out here just a week ago. >> this has been a problem area for fires due to there's a high population of homeless people that live in this area. we were just out here a couple nights ago for the same thing, not with the tressel, but a grass fire in the area. >> reporter: a grass fire, then it went into the tressel. because those wooden train tressels are filled with cresol, they used breathing apparatus' fighting the fire. the crews are watching to make

sure there are no other hot spots and trying to make it clear for the union pacific crews to get out there and inspect the freight lines because that could impact all kinds of material that is going from the south bay up to the north bay and beyond. so, crews will remain out here on scene. your commute will be impacted a little bit through the area as caltrain is single tracking. the good news, we just saw a train going by and looked like everything is moving smoothly, at least for now. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> good to see for the morning commute. thank you. we want to check in with mike inouye right now. he's tracking the issue on the tracks out there and also a big problem in the east bay. >> a deadly crash in the east bay. the fire that impacted the tracks, a big impact. now it has been lifted. maybe minor delays for the trains out of gilroy and morgan hill. they are only the first trains

from tamien. so far, we haven't seen anything. over here is where we have the deadly crash in san pablo where all the slowing is. a live camera where our photographer said the flames are out. i saw chp put out fresh flairs. they were going to schedule at 6:00 a.m. but they are not going to clear anytime soon. the coroner was on scene earlier, but more investigation is going on. they are remaring the flairs. the onramp is closed. let's look at the map. the onramp is closed by the deadly crash investigation. you see the back up here, adding 25 minutes from highway 4. that is an issue from the morning commute. the good news is the rest of the maze and the east bay, the tri-valley in the south bay

looking pleasant right now. that should be a nice commute for the rest of the folks. the big problem is coming through san pablo. we don't have problems weather wise, but you have changes in the future as well. >> we are going to have a beautiful day as we look at the numbers here in san francisco. the high temperature this afternoon reaching 62 degrees and 60 degrees for tomorrow. we will have rain in the forecast moving in by friday and it will be off and on throughout the weekend. cooler temperatures, so that's going to be the main story. two days left of sunshine before the rain and cooler temperatures roll in. i'll talk more about that coming up later. >> sounds, good. thanks, kari. a developing story out of new york city. that's where the search for answers continues following the deadly terror attack. >> we know about the suspect and getting a sense of how far the rampage went. we put together a 3-d rendering. it's interesting showing the

route that sayfullo drove down. look how far it was. he drove south more than ten blocks, sadly leaving bodies in his way before crashing into a school bus. >> eight people died from the attack making it the deadliest terror attack in new york since 9/11. 11 others are in the hospital. listen in to a witness as they describe the carnage. >> in the bike lane, clearly. i see two gentlemen there in the bike lane with tire marks across their body. you can tell they are not here no more. you hear a lady screaming. that's what made me go back that way and look. >> the suspect is a native of uzbekistan. he's been in the u.s. since 2010. police shot him. now, he is recovering from surgery, but refusing to answer questions. authorities found a note in the truck claiming he carried out the attack for isis.

it is off highway 101 and san martin. leaders want to expand it, make it a no kill shelter. according to the mercury news they have approved $26 million in funding for construction. help is on the way for homeowners whose property taxes are due. they are coming soon. assessments are on the rise. taxpayers have new options. county officials say property taxes are the biggest expense aside from the mortgage itself. the county estimates 1-20 taxpayers struggle to pay that full amount. with the new option, they are able to pay part of it. it breaks it up, giving property owners flexibility. good news for the county, but the taxpayers association disagrees. >> the notion they get whacked with a 10% fee and 18% annual interest on money they were

prepared to pay is fundamentally unfair. that's what we are trying to address here. >> if the board of supervisors want to help taxpayers, reduce the taxes instead of making it easier to pay the taxes. >> that would be nice. there will be workshops to talk about the partial pay program. we posted more information on our website, www.nbcbayarea.com. 6:15 now. tech companies will be back on capitol hill for more questioning today. >> they are facing the second day of inquiries into the role of russian meddling. scott mcgrew, you say today could be tougher than yesterday? >> good morning. today the tech companies have two hearings in a half hour from now and one in front of the house this afternoon. at tuesday's hearing, representatives from facebook, google and twitter faced a committee on crime and terrorism. what you don't see are the founders of ceos.

laws that allow foreign adversary to come in and use our constitution and our democracy to their advantage. >> another important story, tesla opened financial books to investors. we are looking for two numbers. how many model 3 cars they made. last quarter, a couple hundred. hundreds of thousands of people put down money. secondly, how much money tesla has on hand. put it another way, how much money they have left. markets will be watching about tax reform. we just heard we are not going to see that tax reform plan today. it's been delayed until tomorrow. we have been talking about how it will affect bay area families. it could be very serious. tune in for more. >> a lot has to do with 401(k)s. >> they are serious things that affect the median income in silicon valley. >> the future, too. 401(k). >> a lot of people rely on that.

news stories this morning. right now at 6:30, we are following two big breaking news stories this morning. on the left, an active scene where -- on your right, it should say, an active scene where a police officer was shot in halloween celebrations. on the right is a fire that broke out impacting train service during the morning commute. thank you for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to get to the stories in a moment. first, to kari hall. you have been tracking the weather. we have rain in the forecast coming up. >> yes. it does hold off for the weekend. another dry and beautiful day around the area, a cool start as well. 50 degrees at the san mateo

bridge and 46 in the tri-valley, 40 in the north bay and a chilly start, but warming up nicely with the high temperatures today for the inland valleys reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s. we are in for nice weather for the next couple days. major changes on the way. i'll have a look at that and the weekend forecast. mike takes us out there for the morning commute and delays. >> this is a problem. look at that. the tow truck we saw arrive on the scene is taking a vehicle associated with the deadly crash, westbound 80. only the onramp is partially blocked. behind me, the vehicles are getting on westbound 80 and moving smoothly. there's a distraction with the flashing lights. on the maps, you see it is dragging down in this short section. just the onramp is officially blocked. now, once you get past that, that keeps traffic held up. berkeley and the berkeley curve

move very well. now, this is actually a light flow of traffic. this shows the worst of the traffic. the south bay showing the volume build as well. the freeways are moving smoothly. over the course of the morning, following an issue with the tracks. over to you for the breaking news. >> that is the news we are following because of the fire that broke out. take a look at it along the train tracks in san jose. >> kris sanchez is live at the scene. she's been there all morning since 4:30. that fire is out but certainly will impact people's commute this morning. >> reporter: right, marcus and laura. before we were on scene when i was driving by i saw that thick column of smoke going up in the air. i was pretty sure what i was going to be doing this morning. we confirmed the fire was actually on the union pacific line. there's two lines through here.

there is concern there is structural damage to the line. union pacific had a number of crews out here. they are sending investigators out as well to talk about the origin of the fire and work with san jose fire department on that. let's look at those flames. this will give you a good indication why there might be structural damage. firefighters arrived after 3:00 and found a 200 foot stretch of wooden train structure was on fire. the damage was done. here is what you can expect. a slowdown in your commute between the tamien station and diridon station. we have been in touch with caltrain. because it is main of concrete, it was not damaged by the fire. the investigation is still under way. >> there's two different tracks in the area where the fire is located. one is union pacific, the other is caltrain. caltrain already made -- there is going to be an impact with

trains running through the area. >> reporter: we can confirm they are single tracking through the area. we saw one of those trains going by in the last half hour or so. no immediate cause for the fire. we talked with the captain about the fact that there are known homeless encampments through this stretch of railway. he says, in fact, they were here a week ago because of a fire that happened in a homeless encampment along the rail line and certainly wasn't the first time. we will continue to follow up to see if they are able to share their line with caltrain then that could have an impact on your commute as they try to move freight through this area while the train track is damaged. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> we know you will keep us updated on the changes. thank you. following breaking news in san francisco where a police officer was shot during halloween celebrations in the castro. we are getting a new look. this is video following

[ gunfire ] [ sirens ] [ gunfire ]

>> reporter: according to san francisco police, they are saying the shooting took place after midnight at 18th and diamond. officers are working in the area on halloween night when they were flagged down for what one person said was a suspicious car in that area. when police approached that car, that's when gunfire was exchanged. i want to olympipoint out, ther no longer a sanction city event in the district due to a shooting that took place in 2006. a fight with two groups beginning when someone threw a bottle at someone. several people were shot and there was no longer a sanction event. still, plenty of big crowds showing up making a shooting that much more dangerous. as far as when it is going to clear up, maybe when the sun comes up so maybe the next couple hours. if you are driving around 18th

and diamond, diamond is going to be an active scene all morning long. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you, pete. of course we will continue to follow this story, staying on top of it all morning long on air and online. pete suratos will be tweeting updates for us. you can follow him. now to a developing story we continue to develop out of new york city. we are looking live at lower manhattan. you can see that investigation continue. this is into that deadly terror attack that happened in the city yesterday afternoon. it continues this morning. >> the deadliest attack in the city since 9/11. here is what we know so far about the suspect. his name is sayfullo saipov, 29 years old a native of uzbekistan living in the u.s. since 2010. he is recovering in the hospital after being shot by police. he is refusing to answer questions. police searched his new jersey

home and collected evidence at a nearby home depot store. >> the suspect rented that truck from the store and drove down the river front bike path near the world trade center, tuesday afternoon. this is a popular bike path along the river. the truck drove south for ten blocks, leaving bodies in its way. this is before the truck crashed into a school bus. >> 11 others are in the hospital this morning. police found a note in the truck claiming saipov carried out the attack for isis. the governor says new york will not live in fear. >> being new yorkers, live your life and don't let them change us or deter us. they are offering the u.s. assistance in the investigation. president trump says he ordered homeland security to step up extreme vetting of immigrants. >> coverage on this investigation will continue on air and online this morning.
