other day for maintenance. let's take a look at the east shore. right here, the traffic here, a 26-minute drive. the buses will have to gauche kate between the carquinez bridge. not too bad. if you are driving in the east bay, southbound 880 traffic is already going to be slow. by the way, that bay bridge time is about 25 minutes. 880 southbound between 238 and fremont is about a 27-minute drive. 7:03. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. multiple suspicious fires break out in the oakland hills over a period of four days. two columns of smoke from first spotted yesterday afternoon in the canyon along park boulevard. a third was seen shortly after at the top of the canyon. two others were reported last friday. ktvu's tara moriarty is at the scene, where fire crews are still watching out for any incidents. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. the fires are still under investigation. we're waiting to hear back from

the battalion chief to find out whether they are officially being considered arson. but along park boulevard, we have a couple of rigs that have been stationed throughout the evening, keeping an eye, making sure that hot spots don't re- ignite over here in diamond canyon. a video from newschopper2 shows two columns of smoke visible around 3:00 yesterday afternoon. aircraft dropped hundreds of gallons of water to fight the fires. hand crews snapped out flames in the thick vegetation. yesterday, there were five fire total. it was the two in the conditionian that raised the most -- canyon that raised the most suspicion. >> the two in the canyon were half a mile apart from each other. for the amber to catch another part of the canyon on fire, it's very suspicious. >> reporter: just last friday, two more suspicious broke out in the hills -- fires broke out in the hills.

it started about 7:30 on pawnee drive between inteeian hill and pru -- indian hill and pruitt ranch drive. a block away from a school. no homes were damaged. the flames were 60 feet high. it burned fences and trees. one person was treated for smoke inhalation. firefighters stayed out there for several hours watching for hot spots. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. a 12-year-old boy hit by a car in san francisco, an ambulance was out an an unrelated -- on an unrelated call when paramedics actually saw the car. it happened around 4:15 yesterday afternoon. the child was taken to san francisco general hospital with minor injuries. no word on what caused the crash or whether the driver will be cited. 7:06. an east coast doctor who once worked with the family of oakland teenager jahi mcmath has reportedly had his license revoked. the new york daily news reports that the doctor lost his

happened. organizers need to raise $12 million for a fund-raising effort to keep the bridge lights on. katie utehs has more. >> reporter: most everyone agrees that the bay bridge lights are beautiful. but the set needs to come down so that caltrans can paint the bridge. that means a second set of lights would have to be installed which is most costly and tedious work. currently, there are 25,000 white l.e.d. lights strung along the cables of the western span of the bay bridge. those will come down early next year, and march. the estimated cost of restringing new lights meant to last longer would be around $12 million. that keeps the new setup through 2026 and includes insurance and maintenance costs. >> the cost is for the most part that extraordinary job of people hanging out on the middle of the night on the side of the bridge.

it's not easy. it takes months of time. >> reporter: if funding comes through, the goal is to restring the lights in time for super bowl weekend. caltrans has agreed to help with maintenance. we've posted the link to the website on ktvu.com. we'd also love to hear what you think. you can hit us up on twitter or facebook. meam people we're talk -- many people we're talking to in support of the effort, let us know what you think, it may end up on air. katie utehs, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. first it was the oakland sports teams looking to move, now it's the sharks that could be makes. they want to rework the television deal. if the team does not get more money, the paper worsts it could affect -- reports it could affect whether the sharks stay in san jose or even in the bay area. the current contract calls for comcast sports to pay the sharks $7 million a year for 14

more years. in comparison, the toronto maple leafs receive $41 million in local tv rights. that certainly could have an effect on how much money the team gets and also in other sharks-related news, the team is not renewing the contract of long-time color analyst, drew rimenda. >> wow. that's a lot. >> yes. big news for sharks. there's a new plan to make fremont safer. the high-tech tools coming to the city and why some say it makes them nervous. a hidden image found in a famous painting by pablo picasso. the technology that led to the discovery and the new questions it raises. boorling. we're still -- good morning. we're still looking at traffic that's getting busier. we have reached the height of the morning commute. you can see that the traffic on the san mateo bridge is slowing down because of a crash westbound. we'll tell you more -- straight

commission is did an audit that was prompted by the death of five women in a burning limo on the bay bridge. audits are not holding them responsible but they say the lacks leadership. >> once they begin the investigation, on average, they are taking 238 days to complete the investigation. >> the report also found that the cpuc lacks policies and procedures to ensure carriers comply with the law and that when citations are issued, they are for amounts much lower than the law allows. the cpuc largely agreed with the findings and says it will follow the audit's recommendations. happening now -- a congressional committee is re- examining how general matters

handled the recall of 2.6 million cars because of a problem with ignition switches. mary barra on the left and the independent investigator on the right will be questioned this morning about why it took so long to start recalling calls with faulty ignition switches and if the problem was covered up because of cost concerns. we'll continue monitoring this hearing and bring you more updates throughout "mornings on 2." 7:16. ride sharing companies like uber and lyft are aplau plauding an amendment to a state bill that they say could put them out of business. yesterday workers rallied as a senate committee heard bills aimed at regulating the companies. one bill would require ride sharing companies to carry $1 million in commercial liability insurance coverage. but yesterday, the author of the bill agreed to look into providing a lower coverage amount. a second bill is also being

debated. that one requires more extensive background checks for drivers. speaking of drivers, let's check in with sal. you said we're getting at the height of the morning commute right now, sal? >> we are. the traffic is going to be busy right now if you are driving on the eastshore freeway. i will put a map up first. west 80. you can see it's slow between hercules and richmond. you see the red spots and we'll show you the picture near the berkeley area. that drive time is 25 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. not too bad. but definitely not the standard 17 minutes that it is when there's no traffic. bay bridge, about a 25, 30- minute drive time getting into san francisco. but today, it does look like it's going to start improving. i can always tell by looking at the ramp coming in from 880 when that's not really a major slowdown, you start to see improvement. and 880 in oakland, the traffic

heres to look pretty -- here does look pretty good. 7:17. hello, steve. >> hello, sal. >> nice and sunny for the as game. >> yes. low 70s. mid-70s. very nice. a little haze around the edge. it's clear but we do have hazy skies. it will be hot for some. thank goodness it's not humid. we have humidity. it's cooler by the coast. friday through sunday, the cooler returns. cooldown on monday. tuesday top it out. thursday will start the transition down again. 71 for san francisco. that's above average. yesterday was right where you should be. the high was 67. that's average for this time of year. the average low 53. sunrise, 5:45 a.m. sunset 8:34. the record high is very cool. 86, 1988. that's it. the record low 47. again, have to go pretty far back, 1908. oakland looking for more of an easterly breeze. we'll bump them up to 78. it's 57 right now.

install the cameras at the city borders. at last night's meeting, members approved spending $300,000 to buy and install 12 cameras and license plate readers and 12 different intersections. many have installed their own cameras and have captured cil activity and it's help -- criminal activity and it's helped police make arrest. we spoke to people who live and work in fremont about the plan. here's what they had to say. >> i think it will help because, you know, if it's helping as far as bring the rate down and leading people to getting convicted, i'm for it. >> i think it's a violation of our privacy. i mean, being watched all of the time. it's too big brother for me. [laughter] >> reporter: and privacy is a concern that the american civil liberties union brought up at the meeting. others think it might lead to an abuse of power. but the police chief says the information collected from the

this area to be extra vigilant and keep an eye out and definitely report anything or anyone you consider suspicious. we're live in the oakland hills, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. and yesterday's suspicious fires are alarming for people in the oakland hills especially those who survived the 1991 firestorm. this is video from that disaster almost 23 years ago. 25 people were killed and more than 3,000 homes destroyed. it was hard to escape because there was such narrow roads. yesterday people who still live in the oakland hills say as soon as they saw the fires and spoke, they began to pack up. many were grabbing scrap books and hard drives after the fire, they learned if you wait you could lose it all. flames in antioch shot 60 feet in the air last night. quick action from firefighters protected several homes. the fire started around 7:30 on pawnee drive between indian hill and pruitt ranch drive,

nighttime. people we spoke to want it to shine on. they were unphased by the $12 million projected price tag of the new lights. starting today, the group is asking people to donate in an effort to replace lights on the western span of the bay bridge. caltrans need to take the current 25,000 l.e.d. light installation down so the bridge can be painted. the new lights would be energy efficient and should last until 2026. part of the $12 million cost would be for the tedious installation and necessary maintenance. people walking the embarcadero this morning say it's a justifiable expense. >> yeah, i say go for it. it's private, you know -- it's taken from the city's funds to help the homeless or something like that. don't do that. if it's private, do it. >> i enjoy the light. i'm sure it brings a lot of people out there. >> it's such a beautiful part of the city when i come to visit it. i think it's one of the most

outstanding teachers here. >> reporter: others i spoke to on twitter have said they think $12 million could be better spent elsewhere. if funding comes through, the goal is to restring the lights in time for super bowl weekend in february 2016. caltrans has agreed to help with maintenance. organizers say if they don't reach their goal, the lights will only be extended for one more year. if you would like to learn more, we've posted a link to the fund-raising website on ktvu.com. live in san francisco, katie utehs, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 8:10. new this morning, we just confirmed there's a fire burning in big basin state park. the park is located northwest of santa cruz. the fire is burning near a campground close to highway had 236 at the back end of the park. calfire is on the scene. right now, it's not clear how large the fire is and so far no

limousines and charter bus carriers. the audit was prompted by the tragic deaths of five women. they were trapped in the burning limo on the san mateo bridge last year. the audit found the state public utilities oversight is insufficient to ensure consumer safety. auditors are not holding the cpuc responsible for the fire but they say the agency lacks effective leadership and they are slow to respond to complaints. >> once they begin the investigation they are taking 238 days to complete the investigation. >> that report found that the cpuc lacks policies and procedures to ensure carriers comply with the law and they say that when citations are issued they are for amounts much smaller than the law allows. the cpuc says it will follow the audit's recommendations. 8:16. first it was the oakland sports teams looking to move. could the sharks be next.
