that area. at this point it appears the fire traveled from that back deck area through the roof to burn the whole building. this morning we saw neighbors that saw the fire last night stop by for a closer look. >> it was wild. there was fire trucks from everywhere. the flames were shooting out the top. it was scary. >> reporter: now coming back out to our live look. the front windows have been punched out here. a lot of that burning is really on the back end of that building. we are waiting on the arrival of a fire investigator. that fire investigator is set to come out here later to find out what started this blaze. i can tell you fire investigators will have their work cut out for them. there was not a whole lot left in the back area. it will be tough to determine exactly how this fire started. for now we are live in san rafael christien kafton. time now 6:47. the death toll is rising in italy after a cruise ship disaster aboard the costa

concordia. they now have recovered a sixth body in this. the search for missing passengers is suspended because the seas are too rough. 16 people still not accounted for including two americans. the costa concordia rolled on its side on friday after it came too close to an island reef. >> people were lined up in the hallway with kids. people were crying and screaming. >> i was crying and terrified. >> the company that owns the costa concordia cruise ship admits the captain did not follow proper procedures. here in the bay area there are several events honoring dr. martin luther king junior. one of them is the annual freedom train. they will leave the station at 9:30 this morning. it will stop in sunnyvale, palo alto before arriving in san francisco. the day has also inspired a

king junior. and some people are going perhaps to some of the community events or the volunteer events. it's not as heavy as it normally would be on a monday as we look at interstate 880. also the morning commute on northbound 280 getting up to highway 17 that traffic is moving along nicely. if you do have to go to work at the very least you know that the traffic is just a little better than it normally is. 6:49 let's go to steve. thank you, sal. sunrise over the big city is cold out there. cold, cold. even colder tonight and tomorrow. by the way with those of you with smart phone, it might say flurries. that's not the case it's just cold. sometimes san rafael it says light rain. that's not the case. it's clear and cold out there. it will be sunny and breezy today. the visibility is good. the air quality is outstanding. clear, cold to cool out there. sunny later on. 48-54 after everything is said

and done. browns valley 24. st. helena 29. palo alto 29. alamo also 29. it's cold out there. 26 fairfield. 28 livermore. if it wasn't for the breeze, santa rosa and napa would be colder than that. 33 san rafael. although i've seen 33-44. that is cold for hayward. the only reason moppets 40 because they have a breeze. clear skies. that is good. today and tomorrow. then we start to watch this right there as the moisture begins to stream toward northern california. very cold morning. 20s and 30s. sunny and breezy by the way. air quality though outstanding. finally. that is the area we're hoping brings us the rain. sure looks like it will.

southern california refinery. it's a big one. why a major emergency is now been declared in los angeles county. also they were commemorative bricks that became part of the golden gate bridge. why many people that bought them are upset. everyday, an average of 5,000 people

switch from cascade to finish dishwasher detergent. that's about 150,000 a month - over 2 million people so far. maybe it's because finish quantum gives them cleaner, sparkling dishes without having to rinse them first. now see for yourself why millions have switched to finish. join the finish revolution. and for two years in a row, finish quantum was rated #1 by a leading consumer publication. i'm also a survivor of ovarian and uterine cancers. i even wrote a play about that. my symptoms were pain in my abdomen and periods that were heavier and longer than usual for me. if you have symptoms that last two weeks or longer, be brave.

go to the doctor. ovarian and uterine cancers are gynecologic cancers. symptoms are not the same for everyone. allen: i got sick, and then i got better. time is 6:55. new this morning flames continue to shoot from a
