cars surrounding that house and the tragedy there. neighbors describing this afternoon what they saw and heard. plus this. public safety isn't only about taking care of our residents. it is also about taking care of our economy. >> now the question, how do you pull it off? san francisco mayor london breed talks about the focus of the city and her focus moving forward. we will hear directly from the oakland police chief about his leave, wanting to get back on the job, and the report that was very critical of his actions. good afternoon, everybody. i am reed cowan. so you sought from your office window. this is the picture from the san francisco sunset district. they saw this today. massive plumes of smoke billowing up into the skies. you can see the crews battling this fire from every angle they could. in fact you could see the house caved in from the top there. firefighters covering both rooftops of neighboring homes to do some defensive action. at least two people were hurt, including a firefighter.

right now one person is still unaccounted for. so let's go back in time. this all began with a possible explosion just before 9: 30 this morning at a home on 22nd avenue near noriega. our jocelyn moran was there. >> reporter: a lot of people near the area of the sunset district describing what they heard. something like a loud explosion is how they described it. i do want to show you some of the homes that sustained damage. even just eight, nine, 10 homes down you can see some of these windows were completely blown out. even the cars sustained significant damage. you can see this windshield here, just completely shattered. some of the glass here on the floor as well. again, homes, seven to 10 homes away from where this house collapsed are, seeing significant damage here. i do want to show you the homes that are right next to the house that collapsed. that greenhouse right there. we spoke to the resident who

lives there. her name is karen leigh. she tells us that she was on a conference call for work when she heard a loud boom. >> glass was flying out of the window. the front door was busted. i was so worried, you know, about the blast coming through. >> reporter: karen tells us that their own sustained significant damage. her window, her door, her garage just completely ruined. she says the important thing is that her and her husband are okay. she says she doesn't know if anyone was home next-door at the time. san francisco fire chief ginny nicholson couldn't tell us of the person who was injured was a person who is inside the home who has now collapsed. but she said she hasn't seen anything like this in a long time. >> the last time that i was at a call like this was in the late 90s on 19th avenue when i home exploded. >> reporter: we can see the cars that are parked lined up in front of the home also sustaining damage. you can see some of the windows

shattered. things have fallen on it as well. we also saw debris on the road, and again, shattered glass on the road. this road has been blocked off, especially after this initially happened. at one point we are told there were about 1900 firefighters and medical personnel. the fire chief said that this is going to be a long investigation. of course we are going to stay on top of it. >> jocelyn, thank you. lots of you pull out your cell phones to take video. this is from the citizen app. many of you reported an explosion in the sunset. you can see the black smoke visible for miles. i saw it on the golden gate this morning. some footage was taken from across golden gate park, and others were from just across the street. all of them seeing the same thing. fire crews responding up close and fast. let's talk about this. from the crisis for unhoused people to affordable housing and the challenges there, then the revitalization of san francisco's downtown. those are big orders. mayor london breed laid down her vision for the city, and

anne makovec is here to break down the mayor's plan. great to see all these things happening, but when they intersect, that is the challenge! >> right, and how far are we actually going to go? it is an understatement to say that the mayor has a lot of challenges in front of her right now and a lot of frustration with how things are going in the city. but she was adamant that her administration can overcome these challenges. the mayor opening up with the city crime rate and drug issues, saying that her administration, including the new district attorney brooke jenkins, are cracking down on open air drug markets and vowed to continue a so-called hard- line approach to drug crimes. she wants to increase the police budget and hire more officers. that emphasis on public safety is a key part of her plan to reinvent and revitalize downtown, which we all know is struggling to recover from the pandemic. she laid out a multipoint plan to do so, in addition to making

sure that downtown is safe and clean, she wants to attract a diverse range of employers through tax relief and performance measures to make it easier to convert certain buildings into residential or other use buildings, incrse aruland entertainment in downtown and increase public spaces where those things can be enjoyed, as well as adding more public transit connections to draw more people downtown. >> the truth is, it will be one thing that fixes downtown. it will be many things! as people think about the changing nature of the workplace, we have a once in a generation opportunity to recruit new business sectors and companies and to create a more diverse and resilient local economy. >> of course housing is an issue across the city, not just downtown. san francisco needs to build homes three times faster than over the past decade to keep up with demands for new housing. mayor breed says that she knows how to accomplish that. >> we will remove all barriers to new housing, open up the

housing pipeline, untangle city processes and get departments delivering results faster, cut fees and other costs, identify the funding for affordable housing to meet our goals and rezone areas all across the city in all neighborhoods. all neighborhoods have to be a part of the future of this city! >> another 82,000 homes have to be built by 2031 just to meet state requirements, read. >> would like to reiterate that we would love to have the mayor on our show to have a conversation. this is the landing space for that. we continue to reiterate those innovations. we want to know what you think about the state of the city and san francisco. you heard what the mayor had to say. you can share your thoughts with us on social media using the hashtag kpix. other stories from around the bay, a man intentionally accused of driving his tesla off a cliff with his family

still on the inside? he told the judge that he is not guilty. dharmesh patel faces murder charges. his family survived the crash last month. in san mateo county, a disaster recovery center is open to help people still dealing with the damage from january storms. there is help with rental assistance, transportation, childcare, utility bills and reimbursement for being displaced. all the little things that make up a life that is so difficult when you have a situation like this. it is open and ready to serve at the san mateo county event center. they said they are going to keep it open through at least february 22nd. it looks like people are taking advantage of the service. we are learning new details about why oakland police chief laurent armstrong was placed on leave as we get a look at the report that was critical of the chief and prompted all of these moves. the newly-elected mayor placed

armstrong on paid leave after an outside department found that the cases had been mishandled. one case involved a hit and run, the other officer involved in shooting his gun in the air at oakland police headquarters. one report, key parts dealing with the chief saying that the allegations against him were either unfounded or not sustained. but a footnote to a question on the chief's performance of duty did say that investigators concluded that he was not credible during his interview and appeared to downplay his involvement in tracking the investigation. that is their words. our juliette goodrich has long had an opportunity to get the ear of the chief and ask the chief directly about that independent report that was critical. >> get your workout in. >> reporter: what does it feel like to be on the sidelines and outside right now? what does that feel like? >> it's tough!

it is a very tough feeling to not be able to lead the oakland police department. >> reporter: when you heard about this report and the fact that the mayor made this decision, what was that like for you, and what are you feeling right now? >> it was shocking to me, to be honest. shocking that someone would do an investigation like this, that in my opinion was so biased and so focused on trying to create a crisis. it really was surprising. >> reporter: certain things i'm curious about. you admitted to not reading the rois before signing them. explain that, and is the common practice? >> that is common practice among chiefs in america. there is not one chief of a major police department in america that actreports e talkiu

sure. ive force cases, when we o but in that was brought to me was about a vehicle collision that was not reported. >> reporter: is there anything that would be shocking or new or not? >> i don't think there is. but i think things require explanations because of the way that they are written. >> reporter: if you do get your job back, which you do anything differently after seeing the report and knowing the scrutiny that you are under? >> i think there are recommendations that came out of the report that i think are important to improve our investigations process. so i do think that there are good recommendations that could be implemented and could make us better. >> reporter: so what keeps you so passionate about keeping this job, maintaining it and getting it back, and being in the city that you grow up in? >> juliette, look where i'm from. this wasn't easy to get to the top of this police department. this was a kid that came from poverty. this was a kid that had to

fight on the streets in order to make it. so to make it to this point and then have somebody take it away from me is just not the way in which i want my career to end. there are people in this community that look up to me. >> reporter: you could retire. >> i could retire today. i am here because i am really committed to making oakland safer. i am committed to improving this police department. >> so chief armstrong has had a lot of community support. in fact, the naacp along with others have called for his reinstatement repelyn is oaklan mayor sheng thao. >> we can't say much because it is a personnel issue. >> can you say how long it will be before he will be back? >> it is a personnel issue. i can't talk about that. >> months? days? weeks? >> it is a personnel issue. thank you! >> we have asked mayor thao for

interview requests, but she is not responded. she has said that her response was not meant to be punitive. coming up, we will meet a navy fighter pilot and his father, also a former navy fighter pilot, when we come back. beautiful weather across

welcome back, friends. in honor of black history month, we are highlighting a black navy fighter pilot who helped to turn the tide in the most crucial battle in the korean war. the movie is called devotion. it is about jesse brown, the first black aviator in navy history, who became the most celebrated women. join me as the director bruce dillard, who also has the bragging rights of beier blue a second black blue angels pilot in the country if i read that correctly, right? what a wonderful distinction. so you must be very proud of your son directing something that really touches close to home! i am going to leave you alone! >> very happy, very proud! it has been a process for him. so just to look at his career, seeing it blossom and have him make an opportunity and make good on it, the family is happy.

>> and telling a story that is so important. this is referred to as the forgotten war. i had a chance to be in south korea and know the tensions between south and north korea when i cover the olympics. tell the back story about how the crucial -- how the ark of the movie takes us to this crucial moment where they literally beat back communism as it could have crossed into south korea and then into japan! >> the korean war doesn't find its way into film and tv that often. i think one of the reasons is because it comes right on the heels of a very loud and global war. but you know, what was really beautiful about getting to tell the story of devotion is that the war is certainly a backdrop to what is, you know, a pretty remarkable relationship and friendship between these two men. you have jesse brown, who is the navy's first black aviator, kind of finding this odd friendship with his wing man and also the events that, you know, sort of calcified their relationship and the connection between the families forever as part of what the movies about.

>> we haven't talked about this beforehand, but i have to tell you and thank you for this scene, because this really got me at the gut level. it is when jesse is looking in the mirror and he is saying to himself things that he has probably heard his whole life. let's see, i wrote it down here. you ain't landing that plane. you shouldn't be flying. then he does! the juxtaposition of those messages throughout his life, and what he was actually able to accomplish really give me the chills. that scene is powerful as well for you, seeing the actor play that? >> yeah. jonathan majors is one of our grades. we knew that so much of the movie was going to hinge on being able to present that dramatically and authentically. it is a piece that we knew that jesse did as a young boy. you know, he wrote these things down, things that people told him who tried to put him in a box. he kept them and held onto them. in a film where, you know,

there aren't 1 million flashbacks about his journey, you know, jesse in the mirror repeating these things to himself was an opportunity to sort of express with the path has been until this moment. >> it was instructive to me because it gave me a sense of the boulder that he had to push up the mountain to get where he was. thank you for including that scene. that was the heart of the whole film. i love that he pushed through. so we also want to let all of you know that there is a special reason you are in town. tell us about that! >> yeah. so we are sharing the phone with the marine corps memorial group to sort of celebrate devotion coming out on blu-ray and black history month also coinciding here. the film is available now on paramount plus and to rent and buy on all digital platforms. at the end of the month, yeah. we will finally have it out on blu-ray, 4k, ultra hd. that is the best way to see it. but to bring the film to veterans, you know, people who live and inhabit the world that the movie takes place in has, on the journey of this film,

been the most rewarding. so yeah. to be here in san francisco and get to share it with a group of people who know the events of this film and how they have ties to it, yeah. it is always the best ground to get to show it. >> we have a heart here in this community for diversity, for celebrating people who are on celebrated and of course all things that fly and float with fleet week, which we know you have blessed us with fleet week in the past! you know our heartbeat. thank you so much for being here with us. devotion, avenue you have just heard, is available on 4k ultra hd and blu-ray february 28th from paramount pictures. it is a wild ride, and that is the scene i was just talking about. if you want to feel something, watch! thank you, gentle men, both. time for a look at our forecast with first alert chief meteorologist paul heggen. the fly over to you and some clear skies! >> yeah, i get to follow that up! let's see if i can measure up to anything close to it!

we will see fog develop around the coast and the bay. it should dissipate pretty quickly, but more clouds will build in and we will be noticeably cooler tomorrow. the onshore breeze returns with showers possible later in the y. the shower chance continues into the first half of the day saturday. i wouldn't cancel anything saturday morning, but be flexible with outdoor plans. are temperatures warm up for the second half of the weekend. let's check out futurecast. there is a little bit of fog developing by early tomorrow morning. again, it will not last too long. shower chances will roll into the north bay by tomorrow afternoon. shower chances tomorrow afternoon and evening will be north of the golden gate, right around the coast and the central bay. san francisco in oakland, maybe a couple of hit or miss showers. the rest of the shower activity for the bay area will be later friday night and through the first half of the day on saturday. by the time we had early afternoon on saturday, that activity will be winding down. clearing skies, plenty of sunshine in store for the second half of the weekend, with those temperatures returning to at least slightly

above average levels. the cold weather should be continuing throughout much of next week. this will be a snow maker for the high sierra, but not one that will completely bring traffic to a halt. we are talking maybe three to six inches of snow on top of what they have already seen, just enough to power up the ski slopes and enough to slow down traffic friday night into saturday. if you are heading up that way, maybe do a little bit earlier in the day. around the bay area, it should wash some pollen out of the atmosphere. our pollen count goes from the median category tomorrow to the low end be such light rainfall, likely less than a 10th of an inch, it will not take long for the pollen count to climb back into the medium-high category by next week. long range, there is still a better than average chance of conditions through presidents' day. this is the climate protection center. it is a weak signal, but we would be happy with just average rainfall for the middle of february. we will keep you updated. the long-range model forecast

data is all over the place. right now, looking outside, blue skies overhead. temperatures are in the mid-to- upper 60s in san jose and santa rosa. nice weather out there this afternoon. that will continue into this evening. a mix of upper 30s and low 40s on the map for tomorrow morning. substantially cooler temperatures tomorrow. only the warmest spots will touch 60 degrees. the rest of us will be in the mid-50s. that is the difference that the onshore breeze and cloud cover will make. temperatures will bounce back for the second half of the weekend, into the mid-60s sunday and monday, then another big drop from monday to tuesday, anywhere from five to 10 degrees with that cooler weather settling in wednesday
