the fire plowed through the dry brush, but when it reached the mowed grass and tree line, that's where it stopped. the homeowner says unfortunately today, the problem is getting water to their home because fire crews used the water from their well to fight this fire and now it's almost dry. looking ahead, she is very happy that they saved their home, but now they need to get more water to continue to live up here in this beautiful area on the hill. but the good news today, all five homes have been saved. calfire will stay on scene to try to watch for hot spots throughout the day. live in clayton, katie utehs, ktvu channel 2news. >> thanks, katie. that's why they want you to cut back those weeds. new this morning, highway 101 in san jose has reopened following a deadly accident involving at least four cars. it happened around 2:00 this morning near south blossom hill road. the chp-- >> i think this one is the other fire we reported earlier this morning, near redding in

showing you 60s toward concord, livermore. san jose, 60 degrees. san francisco has warmed up to 59. santa rosa in the upper 50s as well. so the low clouds out there, seabreeze, another camera perspective for you. we'll warm things up inland today, a little warmer for your sunday. high clouds expected for your monday. for the coast, definitely want to bring the jacket this morning, even into the afternoon hours. temperatures not warming up too much, only in the lower 60s. patchy clouds around the bay at 10:00. then more sunshine into the afternoon. inland neighborhoods, overcast this morning, but then clearing skies by 3:00. 84 to 87 degrees. coming up, we'll take a closer look at the forecast in your neighborhood, also let you know when the high clouds pay a visit in the five-day forecast. firefighters in contra costa county are on the scene of a grass fire east of clayton that was sparked by a car accident. ktvu's katie utehs is live at the fire line with new information from calfire. katie? >> reporter: calfire spent the overnight hours battling the

flames. so now that it's daylight and they have had a better chance to survey the land, they tell me the new numbers for acreage. the fire grew to about 80 acres. you can see the charred land i'm standing on is the top edge of the fire as it spread up the hill. they are at about 80% containment at this point. they tell me they expect to be out of here by early evening -- excuse me, have it fully contained by early evening. you can see crews behind me that are working on cutting a better fire line, and since we've been here, the wind has died down slightly this morning. it's good news for firefighters, hoping this fire does not flare up again. let me show you video overnight of the fire, as the flames spread quickly up the hill. initially it was sparked because a car hit a power pole around 10:00 along marsh creek road and bragdon road. four people were inside the car, including an infant. but firefighters tell me that all are okay. then as the power lines came down and sparked the grass fire, their attention quickly

turned from treating those people that were not injured to stopping this quickly-spreading grass fire. it spread up the hillside, forcing the evacuation of five homes. homeowners describe to us the frantic 10 minutes they had to get out. >> i grabbed my purse and i grabbed my jewelry box and, you know, and got in the car and we drove away. the smoke was so thick that we couldn't even see out the windshield. i had to stick my head out the window. >> reporter: defensible space around the homes is really where the fire stopped. essentially, along people's fence line where they had begun mowing grass. that is the lesson here, firefighters say, that the reason those five homes were saved, not only because of their efforts, but because of the pre-emptive efforts that homeowners had taken. pg&e is working to clear the lines across the road to reopen the roadway. calfire expects to be out here and have this fully contained by this evening. but the message is that it is dry, it is hot, and defensible

space really was the difference between saving these people's homes and the story being quite different. so we'll continue to touch base with calfire. we're also checking with the chp to see the latest on their investigation regarding that initial crash and why that person may have hit the power pole. marsh creek road is a winding road and it is difficult to travel, so we hope to have an update soon as well. live in clayton, katie utehs, ktvu channel 2news. a sunnyvale man has been arrested after deputies say he sent fake text messages to teenage girls to get them to send provocative photos. more than 50 pictures were confiscated when deputies arrested scott angelo on thursday. deputies say angelo sent texts to teenagers posing as a relative who had recently changed his phone number. the texts asked the girls to send pictures if they were interested in modeling for coworker's swimsuit line. >> very provocative, definitely criminal to ask and solicit
