eletrical equiptment was making it hard to put out so they brought in a carbon dioxide truck.it suffocates the fire and removes the oxygen and cools it downafter several hours the fire was finally put out and pge could tell us the cause of both that.and the massive power outage that effected such a large swath of the city.we had a circuit breaker fail it created a fire around the breaker the insulation around the breaker burned and that's what created the situationpge says exactly why the breaker failed is still being looked into.but it's age relatedit's simply old equiptment . they are in the process of spending 100 million dollars to upgrade that substation..which is scheduled to be done at the sometime next year.

(vicki) nearly one-million east bay water customers are once again drinking water from fresh snow pack from the sierra nevada mountains. it's the result of a months-long project costing 22- million-dollars to upgrade a treatment plant that is almost complete. but already... water from the mokelumme river is pouring out of taps west of the oakland hills. those customers were drinking water from local sources during the upgrade. now they are back to enjoying water from

the sierra...where there is finally plenty of snow and water once again. (grant) we know the big one is coming but of course we don't know when or where it might strike. if an earthquake were to occur on the calaveras fault near morgan hill, the dam at anderson reservoir could fail. which is why water from this year's heavy rains... is still being released from the reservoir out of an abundance of caution. kron four's rob fladeboe has the latest on that effort now live from morgan hill. rob? (rob live) i'm here just below the dam where water continues to gush from a release valve into coyote creek . it's hard to believe this has been going on now for a couple of months. the bad news is that most of this water is headed for the bay and can't be captured or stored anywhere. but the

good news is that the potential for a disaster resulting from an earthquake is less and less as the water level in the reservoir continues to fall. in 2009, the santa clara valley water district was ordered by the federal energy regulatory commission to keep the level in anderson reservoir at or below 68- percent. today it is 64 percent full but the releases are to continue until the level reaches 58 percent out of an abundance of caution. marty grimes/santa clara valley water dist." for those same reasons we're adding another level of safety between the 68 percent and the 58 percent, basically we're adding another 9 feet of safety..."the reason for that is that anderson's earthen dam could theoretically fail in a magnitude 7.25 earthquake, potentially flooding much of morgan hill and far south san jose. the lower the water level the lower the risk." over the years we've learned

more about the dam, we've learned about the faults that run under the dam and we've begun the design process so we're now doing a larger project than we thought was necessary..." 7 news anderson was 106 percent full and spilling over back in february, as we see in this video from kron4's helicopter partnership with abc7. a breach in a side channel that flooded highway 101 and the flood along coyote creek in san jose are nothing compared to the nightmare scenario of what could happen if the dam were to fail when the reservoir is full.marty grimes/santa clara valley water dist." the chances of it failing are are extremely remote but it's certainly not an acceptable chance to live with that in the long term because someday that fault could have a major earthquake...."once the level in anderson gets to 58 percent, water will be released from coyote reservoir upstream, near gilroy, because it's dam too was built near a fault and could fail in a big earthquake.

(rob live) the releases will continue until the middle of may. the power of the water flowing through here is something else. i can feel the force beneath my feet, sort of like an earthquake. live in morgan hill rob fladeboe kron 4 news (anchor) time now to check on our weather...

there's a serious virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work. the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us it's time to get tested. ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. it's the only way to know for sure.

they carry your fans shpassions, hopes, and dreams.s. and maybe, a chance at greatness because shoulders were made for greatness. not dandruff. madison bumgarner has

long been one of those players you can count on. giants fans know he'll always come through in the clutch... and it seems that nothing can get in his way when he's on the field. so of course, the only thing that does stop him..is a bizarre incident during the team's day off. shocking news today... as madbum has been placed on the disabled list after being involved in a dirt bike accident yesterday in colorado. the team says the left-handed hurler suffered bruised ribs... and a grade one or two ac sprain on his throwing shoulder. he is currently resting at the team

hotel...and will be examined next week. reports say that he could be out for 6-to- 8 weeks. although his 0-3 record doesn't reflect it, his importance to the team is invaluable. as the team's ace, he leads the staff with a 3-point-0 era... and is 5th in the league with 28- strikeouts. before tonight's game against the rockies, bruce bochy...back from heart surgery addressed the situation. bruce bochy:"here's a young guy like a lot of us that we think that we are invincible. he was just having some fun that day and a slippery spot and went down. if i was there sure, i won't have let him on that bike. i'm sure looking at it now madison wishes he won't have gotten on it. he's very remorseful talking to him you know unfortunately the accident happen".

when you hear about madbum's circumstances, you can't help but think of some of the other notable non-baseball injuries to hit the giants. we'll start with jeff kent... who before the 2002 season broke his wrist while popping wheelies on his motorcycle. then, there's also jeremy affeldt.. the relief pitcher missed the final few weeks of the 2011 campaign after cutting his hand while trying to separate frozen hamburgers. the year after that he hurt his knee...while trying to pick up one of his sons. in 2015, it happened again...while playing with his kids. back to the 2017 season-- this bumgarner deal just adds to an already rough start. one big hit came last monday in their home opener...when buster posey landed on the concussion disabled list after taking a pitch right to the helmet. and then on the day he comes back, bruce bochy...forced to leave the team because of heart surgery. in addition to that, the giants are last in the division with a 6-10 record. and i tell ya, you can't make this stuff up. as if today couldn't get any worse for the giants, the team

bus backed into a car...on its way to coors field. thankfully-- no one was hurt...and the game went on as scheudled. here's an update-- at least this is going well so far. giants up 3-nothing...with all those runs coming in the 2nd inning. we'll have highlights on kron4 news at 8 and 10. to the warriors-- we don't know if he's suiting up just yet, but kevin durant..labeled as questionable for tomorrow night's game 3 against the blazers. durant...a full participant and moving around just fine at this morning's practice before the team flew out to portland. no limitations is a clear cut indicator that this calf strain isn't a serious issue... and durant has said himself that he could have played in game 2. here's kd on how hard it's been to sit out. "hopefully, i get to play here soon. i got on the court today so it's not the end of the world you know. been supporting my team, just being a part of the group you know that's been cool. i just wanna be out there. but it's not life or death. it's not career threatening. it's just a calf strain.""i mean look, if it was game 7 of the finals, he'd play because we are not talking about anything that could damage his career. but

what we are talking about is something, if potentially could get worse and knock them out for a few weeks, then it's not worth it." here we go. game 3 tomorrow night at the moda center. possible clincher is monday in game 4. if this goes to 5, that will be in oakland on wednesday. time to talk some raiders-- earlier this week, we heard from the players. now it's time to check in with the gm and head coach. reggie mckenzie and jack del rio..sat down with the media today...in the team's annual pre-draft press conference. the raiders have the 24th-overall selection in next thursday's draft, but the big topic remains-- the move to las vegas. right now-- jdr is not thinking about a stadium that hasn't even been built yet, he's concerned with working toward a championship.

jack del rio:"we're going to be here, and be present in the moment, and for us, it's all about, it's a day to day, week to week league, really, so worrying about something three years from now, i think that's really more for other people. for us, for coaches, for players, we're going to focus on the tough schedule that just came out thursday, and now we can dig into our preparation". preparation".into our now we can dig thursday, and now we can dig into our preparation".
