yesterday. already 70 degrees in antioch with a rapid warmup in your neighborhood. mid-60s in fairfield. 63 in walnut creek. low 60s in oakland and 58 degrees in san francisco. we have upper 50s, santa rosa, napa, novato and into areas around mountain view. 63, 61 for san jose. the afternoon for today, just as nice as yesterday. microclimates here with a 30- degree span with our temperatures from the low 60s to the low 90s. 62 pacific. 69 san francisco. 74 in oakland. 87 for napa. 84 in vallejo. 90 fairfield. antioch and livermore. today will be one of the warmer days. temperatures will fall off as we get into the first day of summer. good morning sal. i want to mention police activity that's going on right now in oakland right now near high and mckaur there as we push -- macarthur as we push into the area. police were trying to stop a person. that person did not yield. the car ended up on hide in a

residential area. oakland police have set up a prim him ter and they are looking for the -- perimeter and they are looking for the driver. oakland police and chp in the neighborhood. this is not affecting freeway traffic which is slow anyway on 580 as you approach park boulevard and head out to the 980 interchange. chp also says this was a stolen vehicle that they were chasing. the driver of the vehicle refused to yield. now he's in the neighborhood in oakland. this is very near a catholic school there. catholic elementary school in the area. so there might be some concern from residents. our reporter is on the way to the scene. berkeley police have arrested a man after a single car injury crash left a passenger in his car seriously injured. the car was seriously damaged. the road has been closed since the crash. the car hit a fence and a tree. they say the driver got out and

tried to get away. officers found him ploks away. police -- blocks away. the driver has been arrested on suspicion of dui. you can see traffic is backed up. this is about a 20-minute drive time getting into san francisco. at 8:33. back to the desk. thank you. we're now getting a closer look at all of the damage caused by a devastating fire in the east san jose foothills. two homes were destroyed by those flames which also started a brush fire on clayton road near the east ridge shopping center. the fire caused propane tanks to explode as well. some neighbors there say they may have a valuable clue about how that fire started. ktvu's janine de la vega has been out there all morning and you just spoke to a relative whose house burned to the ground. good morning, janine.

>> reporter: the nephew here is just devastated. he says he lot of memories -- he has a lot of memories. it's basically a pile of rubble. everything is just gone. now, let's go to some video, some cell phone video that we just got in the last 30 minutes showing those flames eating away at the two homes that were here. they were already engulfed in flames when crews responded. the homes were located on clayton road in the east foothills. we're told they were once part of the 35-acre bunle family apricot ranch. one of the homes were occupied by a woman and her elderly mother in her 70s. the second home we're told a woman was there squatting apparently she was a former

girlfriend girlfriend of a -- former girlfriend of a relative. they wanted her to leave. one of the neighbors appear the woman appeared to be under the influence so they took a photograph of her leaving. that was turned over to investigators. here's what the property owner told us a short time ago about her history. >> she set a fire on the concrete near the shed one time. i heard she had something and she was trying to cook in there. that's what we guess happened, she was trying to cook and something happened. caught the place on fire. >> reporter: a calfire chopper

doused the fire to slow it down and kept this from burning a third home. there were explosions heard during the fire. the fire captain says they came from propane tanks of barbecue girls. as far as this investigation goes, it's still ongoing but, of course, authorities are gonna have questions for that woman. nobody seems to know where she is. the relatives are at a hotel. this is very sad for them because this property has been in this property for many, many years. decades. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. tough story. rangers in the big basin state park in santa cruz closely watching things this morning after two wildfires in two days. a brush fire reported last night before 6:00 in a rye most part of the park. the flames were contained to half an acre. the boulder creek fire

department posted a couple of photos like this here on facebook page. another brush burned three acres on wednesday. no cause on the -- no word on the cause of either of those fires. the struggle to keep enough police officers on streets of san jose has led to an unprecedented move. starting next week, the san jose police department may have to require officers to work overtime if voluntary measures don't work. police union leaders in san jose say mandatory overtime will cause more stress for police officers in the bay area's biggest city. >> our officers have already been identified by the city auditor as being overworked and fatigue. she's warned that additional burden upon our patrol division is dangerous and up safe. >> the rhetoric out there is the police officers association is putting the blame on the city. i wish they would put the residents at the forefront and help us to make sure that officers stay with the city of san jose.

>> now, many police officers have left san joseor they retired. there were 1400 officers in the department a couple of years ago. that number is down to less than 900. we're learning more about the bizarre incident that tested the security of the new bay bridge. it's a story we first brought you live right about this time yesterday on "mornings on 2." the chp says 32-year-old romeo batista deliberately set his truck on fire near the toll plaza bringing the morning commute briefly to a halt. he's now at a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. investigators say the incident was not any type of terrorist attack but it did trigger a sophisticated $26 million security system some the new eastern -- on the new eastern span. >> that was involved this morning. it's monitored 24 hours, seven days a week. >> panicked driskers flagged

down -- drivers flagged down an officer passing through the tollbooths at the time. a federal officer along with a city police officer subdued the man. the oakland unified school district hired and independent ininvestigator to look into -- investigator to look into the attack of a woman in a wheelchair. this video shows 17-year-old francisco martinez in the wheelchair being roughed up by guards. this happened a month ago. well, since then, one of the guards has been fired. the other is on administrative leave. happening today, jackie speier will continue her fight to stop the selling and marketing of e-cigaretting to children -- e-cigarettes to children. she and eric mahr are expected to hold a news conference at san francisco general hospital and will announce a program called the smoke act that will extend the same fda regulations

oakland police department as well as the highway patrol. we understand that this red it car that you are -- red car that you are looking at, this is the car that was stolen. it was a rental car and apparently, the suspect, a man came up to the person who was driving it and said get out, took it and the person who had the rental car stolen told police. an officer did a traffic stop. when they did that, the suspect ran away. this was in the area of high and madison. so police have established a four-block perimeter. they blocked off everything here. they also have the k-9 on scene. i talked to a man who said he lives in the yellow apartment building right here. he said his wife was home at the time when the suspect was trying to get into the backyard there. so if you take a look above from newschopper2 you can see the perimeter is a very wide one. we do want to mention that the woman who saw the man come in, described him as a man who was wearing a grea shirt with white -- gray shirt with white

buttons and jeans. we're trying to get more of a description. the man who is married to the woman who lives in the building, texts her to see if we get more details. it appears they are still looking for the suspect. they are going through this whole car, this red suv with a fine-tooth comb looking for any clues that might lead them to figure out who this person was. so far now, if you are in the area of high and madison -- we're standing near macarthur and masterson, i believe is the side street we're on, high and masterson, definitely gonna be experiencing traffic issues around this area. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, tara. 8:49. the controversy continuing over corporate shuttle buses in san francisco. ktvu's pam cook is in our newsroom with the new plan and the event today that is certain to draw crowds. good morning, pam. >> good morning. the new plan is to take up parking spaces in san francisco and for many that is just

adding salt to the wound. now, in just about hown hour, there -- one hour, there will be a public hearing. it starts at 10:00. a test program set to begin august 1st to allow the company buses such as those offered by google, yahoo!, apple and facebook to use noonmy stop. the mta voted to charge the shuttles one dollar per muni stop to try to keep them from taking space. that's expected to generate more than a million dollars a year. the san francisco examiner reports that the new plan also includes using some parking spaces to expand some of those stops to accommodate the large company buses. now, there have been plenty of protests over the corporate shuttle buses, particularly from people living in the mission, noe valley and alamo square neighborhoods. they complain that the shuttle buses not only cause delays for muni buses but they allow for more high-paid tech executives to move into the city and that drives up their rent. now, an mta planner in charge

of the shuttle stop sharing program says it's a small number of parking spaces that will be used for the bus stops. and that the move is needed to make sure that these corporate buses don't block crosswalks, bike lanes or have to double park to pick up their passengers. the shuttle buses will have to obtain permits to use the bus stops and the operates face fines if they don't follow the rules during this test pilot program that will last 18 months. but again, probably a loud crowd expected at the city hall meeting at 10:00. reporting live in the newsroom, pam cook, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. 8:15. san francisco's maimous lombard street is gonna be -- fage use lombard street is gonna be -- famous lombard street is gonna be offlimits. the board voted to close that curvy spart for four weekends this summer. it's part of a pilot program responding to complaints about all of the heavy traffic and swarms of tourists in the surrounding neighborhoods. you will still be able to walk on the sidewalks. and the people who live on that part of the crooked part of

lombard street, they will still be able to drive to and from their homes. nine minutes before 9:00. we want to check in with sal and see if traffic is winding down this friday morning. >> it is a little bit. we just talked about that police situation here highway 580, high near macarthur, the major streets. this is not affecting the freeway. the incident is off the freeway but it's not affecting traffic nearby. i want to show you the traffic at the toll plaza. about a 15-minute drive time. the commute in san jose is backed up to bascom because of an earlier crash at 280/880 northbound. back to rosemary. a nice look from san francisco. we do have a few high clouds overhead. we had them thicker earlier this morning but let's head to the satellite view. i will show you these floating in around the ridge of high pressure that's over the pacific and south of us. for today in and out of the high clouds, mostly sunny skies and temperatures a low the like
