have done that day. there was a fire at the scene, they reported to the fire. they made contact with the owner and entered the building with a hose line to attempt to put out the fire. >> reporter: before that window had broken out the temperature was some where around 200 degrees. once the oxygen was let in through that broken window it climbed very quickly to close to 700 degrees. far far too hot for even the protective gear that the firefighters were wearing to protect them through that and so that super heated air which did not include any flames, that super heated air is what killed them as they suffered burns on 40% of their body. this report includes several recommendations, including the recommendation of the safety of radios. we want to show you the radios

owned by the firefighters. those radios just simply were destroyed. that's something they want the national fire safety officials to take a look at to see if they can standardize some of that. and hopefully in the future find a solution for that. a worker has been killed in some type of industrial accident. it happened in ocala avenue east of redwood airports and the capital expressway. police have reponded to the scene but have not released any details. investigators discovered more human remains today in calav era s county. they are searching two different northern california counties for possible victims of two serial killers.

>> reporter: the latest development we're watching is the smoke that's been coming outs of this house in the last few minutes, i heard a report of shots fired. like i had mentioned in the last update then smoke just started coming out of the top of the house here. this is where the stand off has been happening where police have been focused. in fact, right now we hear another fire truck trying to make its way into the scene. you see the huge crowd on the street. this is on springs road in vallejo. police are now shouting at cars to get out of the way as they try to get another fire truck in here. i'm going to move our tripod out of the way. this fire truck obviously would be the second unit from the fire department responding to this fire that started up. we can show you that there's still a heavy police presence here because we were right in the middle of stand off when this fire broke out. i got information that there were in fact, shots fired from inside the house before this fire started. to backtrack a little bit. this all started with a

suspected armed robbery over on the 1300 block of tualami here in vallejo. officers i'm told followed those suspects they ended up here at the corner of castle woods and springs road. they've since surrounded the house and we have this chaotic development that you see here as police and firefighters are now trying to sort through the situation. it is still developing and we'll stay on top of it. we're live here in vallejo, eric rasmussen. >> thanks, eric. the national transportation safety board released a new list of school bus recommendations that they say will save lives. they're calling for redesigned school bus exits that are easier to unlatchh and keep open. >> the largest percentage of injuries and fatalities are not actually on the bus it's from crossing the street.

it is a tense situation at

the scene of breaking news we've been covering for you in vallejo throughout this newscast. smoke is billowing out of a home that's surrounded by police and s.w.a.t. the situation has been unfolding in the last few minutes. eric what do you have. >> reporter: this is a situation that started with police chasing armed robbery suspects. for all we know they are still inside. around 5:30 i heard reports of shots fired and almost immediately after we started seeing the smoke come pouring out of the roof of this house here on castle wood drive and springs road in vallejo. there's a large crowd of people

watching this unfold. a very tense situation. in fact, around the time of those shots fire and the fire police rushed out and moved a very large crowd of 50 or so people out of the line of fire that we're all here watching this stand off. right now, firefighters are still working to move their way in at the very same time. police i've seen still have their guns out and ready to go if there's a confrontation with this suspect. we're watching it all unfold and it has been very chaotic here this evening. >> hey eric it's mike. i have to ask you when firefighters get on scene they got on the defensive zone, go in the house and see who's inside and pull them out. do you know if they've been told by police to stand down. or have you seen firefighters go into that home that's on fire? >> reporter: you know i don't know that i've seen firefighters going in. it doesn't mean they have it. but the way you described it is the way it's playing out.

they have a stretcher ready to go to get any victims that may be injured in this fire. right now john, if we can look back at the house. we've seen the smoke intensify here. you see the thick black smoke now pouring out of the corner of that house. and that is just developed here in the last few seconds. it looked like it was letting up. now it's gotten quite a bit more intense. it is not clear if firefighters have been able to make their way inside the house. it appeared before this all started that officers were trying to use tear gas to try to smoke these suspects out of the home. of course the situation has totally changed at this point as they try to stop this fire and solve whatever crime happened here. >> so essentially, looks like this neighborhood is paralyzed because this is where the robbers ended up after a robbery that took place about a mile away on the other side of 80 from where you are right now. >> reporter: that's our

understanding. i'm not exactly sure how the geography plays out from here. but we're told the robbery happened in vallejo. we're just giving you another look right now at this crowd that has gathered in the last few hours here. a couple of hours here to see what is going on you can see springs road is a very busy road. but again this is something that has across the city and has ended up here with this situation. >> reporter: eric, you haven't seen anyone come out of that house yet just to clarify. and if you can answer this question, this is the same house where these armed robbery suspects were in there? >> reporter: that's our understanding, that is the house that police were focused on and as a photographer sean druman has been captures these pictures. i have been trying to keep my eyes peeled to see if anybody other than officers and firefighters are coming out of there. right now it's difficult to see with all the smoke.

but no we have not seen any suspects or civilians make their way out at this point. eric rasmussen working the scene there in vallejo. we'll stay with it over the next 30 to 40 minutes here for you on ktvu. well, has the bad economy new energy initiatives and environment rolls set california for another black out? tom vacar has been looking into the answer, he joins us from the sub electric station with a story you will only see on 2. >> reporter: bay area substations actually bring power to your house. but this is useless without reliable power coming to them. 11 years ago in the depths of the energy crisis, then governor davis threw the switch on the new power plant north of sacramento. back then a power plant shortage drew electricity to a

$4,000 mega watt. now that sells for just $25. >> that's not enough revenue to keep a lot of the power plants in business. >> reporter: so this power plant may be shut down and given new reglations possibly banned from every starting up again. >> environmental rules are very different than they were years ago. so we would be in a lot of regulations if we would ever want to restart it again. >> reporter: even with new solar and wind farms, cloud and winds already cut tar from this plant in minutes. making the need for plants doubly important. >> those are mega watts that we can dispatch within seconds minutes to get on the grid and compensate for when the wind doesn't blow or sun doesn't shine. >> reporter: looming federal

regulations could shut down 20% of californian's entire generating capacity. >> by 2017, we are looking at 12,000 mega watts or 11 power plants that are at risk of retirement due to new water regulations. >> reporter: those regulations could idle coastal power plants that use ocean water for cooling. and since it takes at least five to 10 years to license and replace each, we could close out this decade in a similar energy crisis that began the last one. reporting live, consumer editor tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. back now to the bay area weather and turning to our chief meteorologist bill martin that's going to help us plan the weekend. >> a lot of breaking news out there. we'll get back to that on the 6:00 broadcast. outside right now we have some cloud, scattered showers let's take a peak at the weather computer. and as you look at that you're going to see that it's going to come up any second. that weather computer is going to show you the clouds that are out there right now. the clouds are basically going to move out of the way as we go into tomorrow. tomorrow morning a few
