. good evening. breaking news tonight from occupy oakland. a moving protest in the streets. it ends at the one place the city wanted to protect. after being evicted from the plaza, the protesters moved to a fenced-off vacant lot at 19th and telegraph. don knapp has more. >> reporter: they have literally taken over the park there. was nothing here to stop them. let's take a look at helicopter shots as they moved in. the park has been reserved this week, they thought, with signs and fences, and what the police had intended to do was keep them out. however, they walked up to the fences, knocked them down, took over the park and occupied the park. the park as it's set, the mayor said they would not have another encampment. i counted 16 tents on the ground, set up. there is a giant tarp a lot of people are huddling under right now. obviously, this is one of the problems the city will have to face. looks like the encampment has broken through the fences, here now at least for now to stay.

here's how it started earlier today at about 2:30. occupy oakland protesters marched from their former camp site at oakland city hall through downtown. first stop, a wells fargo branch on western. the sign on the front door, property taxes, cost to community from the wall street meltdown. the march moved to another bank branch, chase, posting signs on the bank. one man wrote the word, 1%. the protesters moved to the kaiser center. a lone police officer was there to direct traffic. signs were also posted at bank of america branch at plaza center. the march ended here at the theater. officers closed freeway entrances and exit ramps. throughout the day, we did not see a lot of police presence,

even coming into the park. there was a substantial number of police officers not dressed in riot gear, not showing batons, but they were around the area. police officers are at doors in some of the condominiums around the park. if you look a little to your right, you'll see a new group of police officers moving in. this group of police officers once again does not have helmets on, do not have helmets on. so we think that perhaps the mayor and the city have taken a light stance on this. they are not going to be too proactive, but at some point, they will have to enforce what they talked about earlier. that is this has got to stop. they will not allow the people camp here, not allow the tents to go up. we can show you there is a very large tarp under which many people, perhaps 50, 75 people have gathered. that tarp has been attached to the trellises around here. you can see down past me, into the park, this was about half a city block that had been marked off, fenced off, the area where

they took down the fences and moved in. it's evolved into something of a party atmosphere right now, but there is tension, lot of tension being felt, a sense that obviously right now it's a good time. right now it's kind of a victory for occupy oakland, but obviously not going to last for long. at least at some point, those police officers over there and the party years back there are probably going to come to loggerhead. >> that's what i wanted to talk to you about. covering the occupy, it has ranged from peaceful, festive, angry. your sense is which emotion is the strongest tonight? >> reporter: i would say that we saw occupy oakland at city hall, very, very angry. i would say today we're someplace below that, a third of the way down. we see families, children here, people with a festive attitude. this group is a different cross section than what we saw at occupy oakland at city hall, but some of those people are here also. it's an interesting mix. it's typical of what you find here on one hand, but on the other hand, we do have people

here because they have a concern about the economy. >> well, because of the protester's profanity, we had to cut out don knapp's live shot. we apologize if the profanity offended anyone. at occupy sf, city crews moved in today to clean up two encampments, one in front of the federal reserve building on market, the other adjacent to justin herman plaza. the city declared the area a public health hazard. workers dressed to clean garbage, but left the main camp intact. >> their intention was to bring these into compliance. however, when we showed that we weren't going to let anything be removed, they stopped trying to remove anything. >> some protesters had splintered off into areas near the main streets. the crews were successful in clearing the grassy areas.

demonstrators are also on the move in the south bay. in san jose, the occupy movement brought their protest to the front of the mayor's house. police confirmed about 30 to 40 people are outside the mayor's home on a private road, apparently only on the sidewalk. one of the protesters tells a radio station that among them is the demonstrate tore called hacker, the man who sat 28 days atop san jose city hall. video of occupy confrontation at uc davis is causing major headaches tonight for the administration. police are caught on video pepper spraying students on campus yesterday. demonstrators were gathered as part of the occupy movement and to speak out against tuition hikes. police say the students ignored repeated orders to clear out. today, the university's chancellor described the incident as chilling and said she is forming a task force to

review the incident. >> it is very unexpected, very sad, and really very inappropriate, i would say, just on the face of it. >> dozens of students gathered outside the building where the chancellor spoke, forming what they described as a chain of solidarity, demanding the chancellor address them. students were upset because they say they were not allowed inside for the news conference. crews remain at the scene tonight of a four-alarm apartment fire in berkeley, one that left dozens of people, including students homeless. anne mackovic explains why firefighters are keeping watch nearly 24 hours after the flames erupted. >> reporter: regina kim saw the smoke from her apartment window and shot this video with a cell phone. a raging fire in this five-story commercial and apartment building. >> it kept getting bigger there. was black smoke coming out of the windows, too. >> reporter: her building was evacuated, but it was the people

that lived in the 39 apartments in this building that she really felt for, mainly students at uc berkeley. >> they were just out, because they just lost all their stuff, and they are crying. we're so close to finals week, so they are freaking out. >> reporter: firefighters don't know how many people were in there. they are asking anyone who lived there to contact the berkeley fire department for a head count. the red cross is helping at least eight people with emergency housing. >> it is a kind of constant state of not knowing what's going on and how many people need help. >> reporter: late this morning, more than 12 hours after the fire broke out, firefighters were still pouring water on the collapsed roof. they say there's still likely active fire inside the walls. the building is so unstable, traffic will be affected on several surrounding streets this weekend. >> firefighters will be standing by throughout the weekend, 24 hours, to make sure we don't have any flare-ups or rekindling

of the fire. >> reporter: and the whole building will have to be knocked down because it's about to collapse on its own. >> this is a masonry building. if you look at the building, you can sew the bows of the building. we're concerned not only is the building falling inward, but onto the streets. >> reporter: anne mackovic, cbs 5. the wildfire that burned 2000 acres is 80% contained tonight. 60 mile-an-hour winds pushed the flames through cedar foot hills yesterday. 32 homes were destroyed and thousands of people were forced to leave. today, people were let back in to survey the damage. some >> i spent most of the morning keeping that fire down and it was raging in our gulley. the sad part, we witnessed our neighbors' houses burn down before our eyes. >> firefighters found much more destruction and damage than initially reported. they believe arcing power lines are to blame for the fire.
