to you. investigators have not labeled in fire suspicious but they say at the same time they found quite a bit of evidence at the scene that is raising red flags this morning. among other things, they found remnants of fireworks that had been set off in an area behind these two apartment buildings that burned late last night. and at the same time a number of witnesses heard several loud explosions just before this fast-moving fire took off. all of the units were badly damaged and now 33 people are looking for a new place to live. thankfully, though, no one, including firefighters, was hurt last night. this fire started around 11:00 and quite a few firefighters, more than 50 of them, had to be called in from across the city to help fight the flames. the fire first began on the back side of one of these buildings and then spread to the building next door. these two buildings have businesses on the ground floor and then apartments up above. people, many of them heard several loud bangs and then they saw flames and smoke. >> i heard a big explosion

like, boom! i thought it was a regular firework that goes up usually. as soon as i woke up i saw flames coming out of the window to the left and i realized there was a fire. so i tried to get everyone out as soon as i could. >> reporter: and we got a look at the area where this fire started. this is the point of origin. it's a patio area behind one these buildings. investigators tell me they found evidence of fireworks that had been set off. it's unclear if those fireworks are connected to this fire. investigators are piecing this all together. at the same time the red cross is helping those 33 people who had been living in these two buildings. that includes six children. a shelter has been set up nearby as the ira jenkins community center. investigators have not labeled the fire suspicious but they say there is evidence concerning to them and they will continue to piece together all of the evidence and work on a cause

downtown san francisco stations. commuters say it's about time. you may remember two years ago "the chronicle" did a story on how one of the escalators here was broken because it was clogged with human feces. >> at the bottom of the escalator there is a lot of build-up of refuse and worse, you know. it provides kind of an alcove for people to hang out, to congregate. i guess that leads to an accumulation. >> reporter: now, bart says the recent recession forced it to trim its cleaning staff. each downtown station only has one worker per shift to scrub and pick up trash. workers only clean during the hours when the station is open. in its defense, bart now says it has hired a second worker on overtime to help at the civic center station where we are. and it's also building a canopy over the escalator and stair entrance at the 19th street station in oakland. we are going to try get reaction from bart this morning. we are live in san francisco.

homeowners who are being punished for saving water. a new law makes it illegal to fine people who let their lawns go brown or replace their lawns entirely with drought-resistant plants. some homeowner associations have been fining neighbors saying those water-saving moves make the landscaping look bad, which can lower property values. they did that a few years ago. time now 7:19. sal getting you where we need to go. >> i think people are taking 280 this morning because 101 was such a mess. with earp talking about how -- we were talking about 101 had a crash removed. it's backed up to the expressway. people have diverted on to 280. it's very slow into the valley. also, northbound 280 has a problem. we'll talk about that in just a moment. i also want to mention 580 westbound is a mess through livermore because of a car fire and an earlier seven-car crash.

their courage and determination. their hope and faith have been an inspiration to all of us. in addition, both of the patients' families provided tremendous support throughout this treatment process. their dedication and devotion have strengthened us as well as the patients. limited knowledge of the ebola virus, especially in our country, has created understandable anxiety and fear for some patients, persons. we understand that there are a lot of questions and concerns regarding ebola virus and the infection that it causes. however, we cannot let our fears dictate our actions. we must all care. as grateful as we are today, our work is far from over.

we are very mindful of all of those in west africa who are still fighting for their lives against this threat and those who are caring for them, putting their own lives in danger. it was the right decision to bring these patients back to emory for treatment. what we learned in caring for them will help advance the world's understanding of how to treat ebola virus infections and help, hopefully, to improve survival in parts of the world where patients with this infection are treated. at emory, our mission is to heal and to advance knowledge. the team of professionals here with me today has trained for years to treat and contain the most dangerous infectious diseases in the world. we are grateful for the successful outcome in this

case, but we are never going to be taking success for granted. three other critically important partners who have helped us throughout this episode deserve recognition today. our neighbors the centers for disease control, the food and drug administration, and the state epidemiologists of georgia and north carolina. i will be taking your questions, as mr. dollar said, but before doing so dr. brantley has requested to make a brief statement. and as mr. dollar said, dr. brantley will not be taking any questions following his statement. so i ask that you respect his wishes and save your questions for me and for the other members of our healthcare team. thank you.

>> today is a miraculous day. i am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family. as a medical missionary, i never imagined myself in this position. when my family and i moved to liberia last october to begin a two-year term working with samaritans purse, ebola was not on the radar. we moved to liberia because god called us to serve the people of liberia. in march when we got word ebola was in new genie and had spread to liberia, we began preparing for the worst. we did not receive our first ebola patient until june. but when she arrived, we were ready. during the course of june and july, the number of ebola patients increased steadily and our amazing crew took care of each patient with great care

and compassion. we also took every precaution to protect ourselves from this dreaded disease by following msf and who guidelines for safety. after taking amber and our children to the airport to return to the states on sunday morning, july 20th, i poured myself into my work even more than before. transferring patients to our new, bigger isolation unit, training and orienting new staff, and working with our human resources officer to fill our staffing needs. three days later, on wednesday, july 23rd, i woke up feeling under the weather. and then my life took an unexpected turn as i was diagnosed with ebola virus disease. as i lay in my bed in liberia for the following nine days, getting sicker and weaker each day, i prayed that god would help me be faithful even in my

illness. and i prayed that in my life or in my death that he would be glorified. i did not know then, but have learned since, that there were thousands, maybe even millions of people around the world praying for me throughout that week and even still today. and i have heard story after story of how this situation has impacted the lives of individuals around the globe, both among my friends and family and also among complete strangers. i cannot thank you enough for your prayers and your support. but what i can tell you is that i served a faithful god who answers prayers. through the care of the samaritans purse and missionary team in liberia, the use of an experimental drug, and the expertise and resources of the health care team at emory university hospital, god saved

my life. a direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers. i am incredibly thankful to all of those who are involved in my care from the first day of my illness all the way up to today, the day of my release from emory. if i tried to thank everyone, i would undoubtedly forget many, but i would be remiss if i did not say thank you to a few. i want to thank samaritans purse, who has taken care of me and my family. >> all right. you have been listening live to dr. kent brantley, who is just about to be released from atlanta hospital after being treated for ebola along with another missionary, nancy whitebol, who was both were infected while working at a missionary clinic while working outside liberia's capital. he will pose no public health

threat. they are completely cured. ebola, though, has killed more than 1300 people in west africa and it is really hard to try to find a cure. again, dr. brantley and nancy whitebol both released from the atlanta hospital after being cured from ebola. it is 8:19. and we want to bring you back to some local news here, some breaking news we're following from marin county. sheriff's deputies say two men were found shot to death in mill valley last night. officers say they found one 61-year-old man shot to death if his backyard on a home on carlotta circle. and then while searching the neighborhood they found the body of another man in the backyard of a home next door. the sheriff's department is treating this case as a double homicide. ktvu's tara moriarty is heading to the scene and we will bring you live updates as soon as we get them. 8:20. we are going back to sal because major commute and traffic news as well. sal, you are covering several things. >> yeah, we are going going to
