this is what he said when he stepped down. >> when the council and the chief of police regardless of who is making the decision are finding themselves with reconcilable differences then it's time for one of them to go. i have chosen myself to go. >> reporter: are we heading down that road again? it's unclear. oakland mayor is on that council. she says she is trying to get batts to stay. oakland has new council members. but council president reid says the pasts of the problem are the problems of the present. we sat down with the chief and asked him questions. we will have more on what he calls a positive part of this whole controversy and debate going on right now. we'll have more of that coming up in the next half hour. live here in oakland claudine wong. time now 6:06. there is a new report unvailing

there were communication problems in san bruno immediately after the deadly pipeline explosion. they operated in a room that was well known for having cell phone signal problems. only a few communication glitches broke up the massive disaster response. this information is coming in a report released yesterday by the san mateo county releases. a bomb squad gave the all clear after a very intense situation in concord. police evacuated homes after they discovered military explosives. concord police immediately issued a shelter in place order, shut down streets, and then went door to door. we just saw police cars coming in and they started knocking on everybodies doors all around. they were telling us to stay as

far away as possible. >> they determined there was not a risk of explosion. a woman living in a home had put the explosives inside of her truck after clearing out a garage in lafayette. the mortars have been in the garage for years. time now 6:07. police divers are going back to the canal in search for juliani cardenas. water flow will be reduced in that canal to help the divers focus on an area near a siphon system. that area is close to where a witness told authorities he saw a car similar to the one belonging to the kidnapper drive into the water. juliani was kidnapped by rodriguez. we have an update for you on a missing marin county

huge house fire we are following in danville. jade hernandez is out there. it sounds like you are able to talk to investigators this morning. >> reporter: well we are, pam, actually. we have the fire chief richard price. he just told me there are no injuries because right now they believe no one was inside the house when this house caught fire. he joins us this morning. thank you so much. tell me exactly what operation you have going on here. this is a two-alarm at this point; correct? >> correct. when we first arrived they searched the interior of the house and fought the fire from the interior but the fire was extending into the attic spreading quickly in the house. once the search was complete we removed our crews and have now put an elevated stream. >> all right that was -- a technical problem there.

we will get back to jade in a moment. one thing we will find out what is close by to that big house fire. houses? businesses? we know the 680 is close by. >> and people can see it from the freeway. sal mentioned there could be a traffic problem. a huge house fire. jade hernandez is out there and she is talking to the fire chief. ing a bit off? the moment you feel run down or achy nip flu-like symptoms in the bud, with oscillococcinum. get oscillo and feel like yourself again. oscillococcinum, nip it in the bud.

welcome back to the morning news. hundreds of phantom calls to a palo alto dispatch center are under investigation this morning. that center received 566 calls in five hours two weeks ago. they don't think a prankster was responsible but rather technology. dispatchers tracked the calls to a verizon cell phone tower. they say the device is typically installed in ford vehicles and dials 911 in the event of a crash. it's not clear if it's came from a vehicle or what made the device go haywire. you may have done it yourself to record traffic jams. more and more drivers are using freeway car pool lanes illegal. car pool cheaters face hefty

fines. in m drivers know it's a -- many drivers know it's a tough law to enforce. >> there is 12 of us working the entire county today so just the sheer volume of drivers and motorist coming through there is no way we can get everybody. >> the chp says highway crashes, impaired drivers, and speeding takes priority. but officers still stress that drivers need to take the car pool laws very seriously. again we are at our breaking new this is this morning. developing story. a huge house fire in danville. we have a crew out there. we'll be right back. stay with us.

following breaking news out of danville this morning. crews are battling a huge house fire right now. jade hernandez is there. >> reporter: first we initially reported there were until injuries but we have learned that one firefighter has been injured. the ceiling of this house fell on that firefighter. we don't know the extent of his injuries. we do know one firefighter has been injured. no one was home when this fire broke out. the house is located at 923 elpantabo. we have the fire chief richard price here with us this morning. and we were just talking moments ago about why you are not concerned that flames could spread to other houses. >> the house is pretty well isolated. there is a lot of space around this house. we have it almost under control. we really think there is no

risk of extension. >> reporter: you think this house may not even had anyone living inside of it at this point. >> it looks like somebody was living here but it looks like it's not quite finished. a new home. no landing caping in. there are furnishings in place. and there was probably someone staying here part time. >> reporter: that one firefighter injured at this point. it's a two-alarm fire. what are you doing right now? >> the crews have searched the first floor of the house. there was too much fire on the second floor of the house. we have not completed a search of the second story. we took our crews out after there was structural collapse and we did have injuries. we are now using a ladder pipe to complete the extinguishment and we will get back inside and search the second floor. >> reporter: chief, thank you for joining us and giving us the latest details.

this house caught fire around 5:30 this morning. that's when firefighters arrived. we have only one injury and it doesn't appear that there was anyone else hurt. just to give you an idea in danville we are right across the street from magnolia garden. i just wanted to give you a better idea of where we are. ktvu was the first on the scene. we were able to be here and tell you exactly what was going on and i will keep you updated with the fire chief who will have more for you in a little bit. jade hernandez ktvu back to you. >> before you go. quick question. we see the flames and all of the activity, can you talk about what is near the house. we see the flaming house but are there many houses on that street? is there a school nearby? are there businesses close by? what can you tell us? >> reporter: i can tell you that's what the fire chief was

explaning. fountain head is right next door this this house. there is space between this house and that building. the house is new construction and there is a hillside right behind it. there are houses above it but far enough away that firefighters are really not concerned about flames spreading to those residents and as i mentioned too this is across the street from magnolia gardens. right now firefighters believe they have this under control and so everything seems to be all right in this neighborhood. i will tell you this fire and all the activity out here has brought out quite a few neighbors. we arrived 25 to 30 minutes ago and they were outside in their bathrobes. all very concerned about what was going on out here. the fire chief is keeping us updated. we will pass along any updates to you. >> thanks, jade you explained that very well.

our time now 6:36. a full investigation is being launched into the police radio problems all of this comes at the same time of the as the future of the police chief is raising a lot of questions. claudine wong is live now with what anthony batts is saying about all of this. good morning, claudine. >> reporter: good morning, dave. a lot of things are happening at the oakland police department. at this hour there are a couple of shifts starting. yes, they are still dealing with the radio problems. an analysis is being conducted but no solution insight yet. they are talking about lawsuits and the chief his future is still not clear. what we know for sure is he's not going to san jose. we told you last night at 10:00 that job will go to their current acting chief. chief batts says the radio problem and job search are part of a bigger problem of priorities. he's trying to deal with an ongoing battle of the union.

he also has unreliable equipment not just the radios but the cars don't work. and the bigger question being discussed is whether everyone has the same list as priorities. >> everyone has to be willing to buy in. it's not just on tony batts. it's not just to be lifted by one man. it's a job for the city itself. one thing i have seen is dialogue has begun because people believed i was going to leave at a dialogue that has not been seen. we need to continue that dialogue. >> reporter: chief batts says he feels wanted. people have stopped him on the street and asked him to stay. when we asked him if he would stay he said he is not looking into other cities right now if terms of jobs but also not making any decisions on his future yet. there is lots of meetings between the chief and city leaders specifically meetings with the mayor. they did do a press conference last night together.

we know they have gone to dinner together to talk about what is facing the city. we will tell you what she had to say when we asked her about the chief and getting her to stay -- and getting him to stay in oakland. a one-year-old boy is being treated at the hospital in oakland. the family was inside the store when they ran out after they heard gunfire. as they drove away police say people started shooting at him and hit the little boy. the boy will survive. no arrests have been made. a plan to eliminate toll takers is expected to get its final approval. the plan calls for replacing all 32 toll takers with an electronic toll taker. once that system is in place, cameras will snap photos of license plates and drivers will

get a bill unless they have a fast track. kiosks will also be set up where the toes can be paid. it's expected to save the bridge district $60 million. the board is trying to figure out how to handle tourists. time now 6:39. let's check the commute. speaking of tolls sal is watching the toll plaza right now. >> that is right. we have been watching to make sure the bay bridge has recovered from that earlier crash. it did just fine. the bridge crew did just fine getting up on the bridge and getting rid of that crash we had. they got all the cars off the bridge. the traffic has not been bad so far. a little fog. you almost find it on your commute. let's move along and take a look at interstate 880 in oakland that traffic moves along very well. of course you know about the fire in danville we have been covering it. as i pull back the slow traffic and fog in the area and antioch

highway 4 is pretty slow. 6:40 let's go to steve. a few things going on. the fog is the big story so far but all signs are pointing toward rain on sunday. i didn't mean to shock you. that's something we haven't mentioned too much this month. i would have a plan b if you have outdoor plans in your pocket just to be sure. very foggy, sunny but cooler today. rain sunday and then back to quiet next week. it looks like a one shot deal as it comes in on sunday. the first system cooling through drags across a weak front. there be high clouds today. that is increasing the fog on the coast as well. there is fog toward san jose. somebody said san jose they never get fog. they haven't had fog this week but today they do so i have to mention it. valley fog though coming back

in. there is an east, northeast breeze right over san pablo bay. local drizzle too. fog along the coast and toward san jose. 30s and 40s. 39 fairfield. 38 livermore. santa rosa is 34. the city is at 49. oakland 44. redwood city 40. cool readings. san rafael that is a tough pattern. 39 to start. 48 by noon. 54 for a high. but again you don't have to go far. you might find temperatures closer to 60 it depends on if you're in that fog or not. that system will start to increase the clouds on saturday, looks like late saturday into sunday. rain moves in. dense fog. cooling begins today. but the fog not only on the coast but also inland.

we don't see that too often. clouds increase on the weekend and rain on sunday. foggy, very foggy visibility is as bad as i have seen it. hazy sunshine. a few high clouds drifting in. upper 40s and low 50s if you're in a fog prone area. it may not budge at all. 60s if you are. not as warm now. the coast santa clara valley still 60s but not 70s like we have had. fog increases. cloudy billion rain on sunday. clearing on monday and then sunny and cool on tuesday. >> all right, steve, thank you. time now 6:43. again another peek a live picture at a major house fire in danville. a two alarm fire. we do know one firefighter has been injured. we don't know the extent of the injuries. look at these pictures. this is new video coming in. we do know this is a sparsely

populated area. it's happening near a preschool. we have heard of no other injuries. and latest from jade hernandez who is first on the scene there the fire chief is saying this is under control. they have no real worries about it spreading to other homes or businesses nearby. they are knocking this down as best they can. this is near 680 so you can see it near the freeway. a major fire burning in danville this morning. jade hernandez is out there we'll hear more from her in a little bit. stay with us. we'll be back after this.

this is video of a house fire. this is very close to interstate 680. this fire was reported an hour ago. it quickly went to a two alarm fire. this area of 680 you cannot see. there is no sound wall so you can see what is going on. this may have implications for the nearby freeway. these were taken by the crews. we will have another report from the scene coming up. >> thank you. welcome back. here is a quick look at the

other top stories we following for you. emergency crews rushed and verged on a quiet pacifica neighborhood. they were investigating a suspicious container. hazmat crews determined it was not a danger after a three-hour investigation. late last night a bomb squad from travis air force base gave the all clear after a very tense situation in concord. police evacuated ten homes on maria avenue. they discovered powerful military explosives. they determined there was no danger of an an explosion. police are firing water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets at the protestors. they have cut internet and cell phone service. if you ride on bart you may soon have more to do if you wait for your train. allie rasmus is speaking with commuters about the plan to

bring businesses to bart. ali. >> reporter: good morning,. computers are one of the things that this new development is considering bringing to bart stations. we are talking about new retail stores that could come to bart stations. you can see the morning commute is well under way. there is a musician playing over here. there is not much else for commuters to see or do while on the top level. that could change in the future. barts board of directors voted 8-1 to start exclusive negotiations with transmart that will bring in new retail. here's an example of some of the stores. convenient stores. local farmers markets. beauty stores. some technology centers that is where we talked about the computers we mentioned a few minutes ago. along with health and wellness centers places to buy vitamins.

and some of the bart riders we talked to say they are open to this idea but they were very specific about what types of retail they would like to see. >> sandwich stores things like that. fast food things like that. things on the way to work and on the way home. something to get you through the day. >> probably like snacks or something so you can take on the go. >> reporter: and as you heard, the idea of more food retailers seems to be a popular one. this could be a problem for bart. bart passengers are not allowed to eat or drink foods on the train. it's a concern that one bart director expressed after yesterday's vote how do you promote food sales and tell people they are not allowed to eat the food they just bought on the train. this plan is still in the very early stages. the next step is for bart and transmart to study passenger flow at 8-10 of the busiest stations and then go from

there. reporting live allie rasmus. time now 6:50. westbound highway 4 will be shut down early tomorrow morning as the work continues to widen that very busy freeway. the highway will be shut down from midnight to 4:00 a.m.. to love ridge road in pittsburgh. traffic will be detoured off the highway to love ridge via autocenter drive and the pittsburgh antioch highway. just a heads up for you. >> good to remind people. sal has been watching highway 4 as well. >> it has been foggy out there. it will be thick. for this entire week weapon have not been able to see our highway 4 camera. we are also following breaking news danville which you can see from 680 these are pictures from the fire. large house fire right next to 680. the exit there is also near e l
