with me now. he arrived here on scene a few minutes after that crash where you arrived to find a fire? >> right. we had a situation where the plane took off from the livermore airport. the plane very quickly went into some sort of duress. the pilot either jumped out of the plane or was forced out of the plane and shortly thereafter, the plane crashed in the field, and that caused about a two-acre fire. >> so you have found the pilot jumped out, and his body is over that hill behind the plane, and you said that was the right thing to do most likely. >> well, you can only imagine the situation that he was in. we have witness that saw smoke coming from the plane so his plane most likely is on fire. he's in a situation where he knows that plane is going to crash, and he -- he wanted to get away from that fire. it's an absolute terrible tragedy. >> is there any way there was a second person in that plane? >> we have nothing that leads us to believe at this point there was a second person in the plane. the plane was completely demolished. the pilot's body was found about

300 yards away. >> thank you, sergeant nelson. we'll be talking with you more. the faa should be arriving here on scene shortly. we have heard from aviation sources that this may be a low replica of a p 51 mustang, which was a world war ii plane, the ones that are best known for having the large propeller in front. of course, we're waiting for confirmation from the faa as to what happened here and whether this pilot had any other friends on board. reporting live in livermore, patty lee ktvu channel 2 news. >> you can follow us on twitter for more updates throughout the evening on this story. we've been tweeting out developments as information comes in. continuing coverage now. it only burned a few acres, but this wind-whipped fire destroyed one home and six other buildings before firefighters were able to finally get a handle on it. now, that fire is still under investigation, but we're learning more tonight about writ

water. ktvu's christina rendon explains how much they plan to save and why they're taking extreme measures. >> when driving up to the golf club at roddy ranch in antioch, you may notice a different color surrounding the course. changes are in full swing to roll out a new campaign where brown is the new green. >> if you do see brown spots out in the golf course, that's the rafrnl being responsible. >> general manager kevin fits jerrold say it is drought is impacting everyone. >> we decided if the homeowner has to do it, why shouldn't the golf course have to do it. so, again, we took it upon ourselves and join sides with them and do what's right. >> the club plans to reduce their water usage by 30%. they're doing that by replacing rye grass with drought-resistant bermuda grass on the driving range and focus on the greens, tees and fairways. the impact will be minimal on golfers like john johnson. >> we can't control waterfalling, but we can control how much we use so it's not a

problem. >> brothers bill and joe brown are embracing the brown grass, too. >> that ball goes further when it's a little bit harder so we both cannot hit it with the long ball so this enhances our score. >> fits jerrold says the integrity of the course won't be compromised. he hopes the club can save about 40 million gallons of water this year. he says it's equal to about 300 homes, sxepts other golf courses to take a shot at implementing water conserving efforts that are up to par. >> every golf course in the country, not the bay area or california, should be doing their part to save our natural resources. sdpr depending on the success of the grass change at the driving range, they could incorporate that into other areas of this golf course to save more water in the future. reporting in antioch, ktvu channel 2 news. san francisco landmark lombard street closed to traffic for parts of the day today after complaints from neighbors about all the congestion. known as the krookdest street in the world, lombard shut down at
