morning news continues. good morning. we are live outside fire station 16 in san jose but there are no firefighters inside this morning. and that is because of a mold problem. janine de la vega will tell us what is happening today and how the san jose mayor elect is responding. it's tuesday, december 23rd i'm pam cook. >> good morning, i'm brian flores in for dave clark who is is enjoying a golf game. we've got nice weather coming our way. patchy dense fog to consider.
6:01 am
giving you a look here at the bay bridge where visibility is pretty good right now. oakland yesterday you had a thick bout of fog. this morning your visibility is about six miles. so not as bad for you. take a look at the south bay. san jose down to a quarter of a mile. and this darker shade of gray right in here indicating we have pretty thick fog in some areas. so along 280, 101, 680. through milpitas you will find pretty good fog there as well. chp reporting patchy and dense in some places. take it easy. it could come without warning. napa reporting visibility. this is going to be with us through the morning hours. sun will rise just about 7:22. 7:24 depending on where you live. i bet again we have more of this to come. 48 in concord. 45 in napa. 44 in walnut creek. it's a cooler start with clearer skies. at least for most of us. we will slip in and take a look
6:02 am
at walnut creek and san ramon. bewe have upper 40 -- we have upper 40s. low 50s in pittsburgh. for the afternoon today lots of 60s back in the forecast. today will be the warmest day. 67 in concord. 65 san rafael. 66 for you redwood city. we begin to see changes. by tomorrow wet weather moves in. and the cooling trend to follow coming up. we have traffic sha is a little slow in some areas. you can see there is a little bit of slow traffic here i have a feeling tomorrow the 24th we might see that but today we have people going into the city. also looking at interstate 880 here traffic is definitely sort of normal. no trouble for san leandro or from downtown oakland. 580 through livermore showing some slow traffic as you drive through over to the 680 interferer change.
6:03 am
not too bad. it looks good into castro valley. let's go back to the desk. topping our news a health scare at a san jose fire house forced firefighters to move out. they say there is a mold infestation. and city officials are supposed to address it. janine de la vega is joining us now from san jose to talk about the problem and tell us what the new mayor has to say about it. janine. >> reporter: firefighters tell me that mold has been a problem here at this fire station on king road on the east side for four years. they claim that complaints have been made to the city but it's unclear why it hasn't been addressed until now. last night our crew was there when firefighters from station 15 moved out. these photos show the mold grow. crews had moved their furniture and kitchen appliances into the garage because they were concerned for their health. the department command staff visited the station yesterday
6:04 am
and determined all firefighters needed to move out. some wonder if the recent rain and moisture caused the station to worsen. a fire captain tells us inspectors will be at the station later today to figure out the next course of action on how to clean up the building. >> it's not acceptable to subject our employees our firefighters who are putting themselves in harms way to these kinds of conditions. i'm glad that we're moving firefighters out and as soon as the trailer is there, we will be able to get in there. >> reporter: even though crews from fire station 16 have moved, we have been told that they will be patrolling their area of the city during peak hours. fire officials say there has been ongoing mold issues at two other fire stations that are older. like station 16, the mayor tells us it should have been taken care of much sooner. he says he will be monitoring how soon the cleanup will take place but he's been told the construction crews will be out to do their repairs and it
6:05 am
could take a couple of weeks. you will hear from a fire captain coming up at 6:45. back to you. >> all right, we look forward to hearing from that. 6:04 is the time right thousand. >> if you are traveling out of town for christmas, you will have a lot of company. that is because alex savidge is live at sfo with more on some of the challenges. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, to you from sfo. a very busy sfo. it appears the morning rush is on. take a look behind us here. we are curb side outside of terminal 2. we have seen over the last hour and a half really just a steady stream of scars coming to drop off passengers. obviously a lot of holiday travelers. folks trying to get home and see friends. thus far this morning on this busy travel day, no delays or cancellations here at sfo. so weather an issue. we do understand that could all change as we close in on christmas. there is a very strong storm
6:06 am
that is set to move into the eastern third of the country. and that could snarl things. it's not necessarily going to bring snow. just lots of rain and strong winds and that could mean delays at major airports. online some have dubbed this weather system moving in for christmas santa bomb. airport officials here at sfo are keeping an eye on the weather and warning about the possibility of delays. many people tell me they plan to get here very early to stay ahead of the holiday rush. knowing this is one of the most popular days to fly. >> i knew it. i had just forgotten. >> how does it look so far? >> it's not that bad. really good time. if you check in before excellent. you can go in and out. keep my boarding pass on my ipad. >> you can expect a lot of people to be hitting the airports here in the bay area and around the country.
6:07 am
aaa predicts 98.6 million americans will be traveling this holiday season. we are not seeing any delays on this very busy travel day but of course brian as we all know that can easily change. so obviously a good idea to check ahead if you plan to fly today. >> yeah talking to some of the travelers out there they look like they are in a good situation. >> i'm glad you picked up on that even we are talking to this morning they seem to be in a very good mood. especially for traveling two days before christmas. when people obviously get a bit anxious and you know tensions tend to run high at the airport. everyone this morning in a very good mood i must say. >> all right it could also be because they get to meet you. >> reporter: yes, i'm sure that is part of it. >> alex savidge reporting live from sfo. thank you so much. it's being called one of the biggest airport security breaches in years. delta airlines baggage handler has been arrested for running a gun smuggling operation on

6:09 am
understand why you're bothered. you chose to stay with me for another day. i didn't do anything wrong, i felt like we had a real connection and we actually like each other. now the victim admits that the next day she stayed with mcdonald and went to the store with him to buy alcohol. legal analysts say these cases can be hard to prosecute. >> she may have consented but the question is, was she too impaired to laughly give con -- lawfully impaired to give consent? >> it will come down to how drunk the woman was and if mcdonald knew the woman was intoxicated. jim harbaugh is responding to reports he could be out of a job by this time next week. the 49ers will likely cut ties with harbaugh after the team's final game game of the season on sunday. that report came up after several times during harbaugh's regularly scheduled news conference yesterday. at one point the reporter asked harbaugh if he was ready to finally speak publicly with his reported battles with the front

6:18 am
and southbound. if you are driving to the toll plaza, there is a backup. here it is december 23rd and we do have a little bit of backup but i can tell it's not as full as it normally is. if you look at the 880 ramp, there is no backup for you coming through there. especially if you have fast track riding on through. i'm sure this will not last for too long. and tomorrow we will see a big drop off. if you are driving on 580, even that slow down through livermore which by this morning at this point in the morning it's just getting worse. it is getting a little bit better. the altamont pass the traffic has gone away. so we are off to a decent start on this tuesday. 6:18 let's go to rosemary. good morning, to you. and sal both pam and i agree just as long as it has just dance 2014 we're god with that. >> i'm good with that too. it is expected to be the

6:35 am
this is the part travelers don't want to hear. there is a strong storm system that is set to move into the eastern part of the storm system. it will bring lots of rain and strong winds and that could trigger delays at major airports. so keep that in mind. this storm system has been dubbed by some online as santa bomb. because it really could snarl the christmas travel s far lot of people. airport officials say that storm could cause problems shout the week. they plan to get here early this morning and travelers keeping an eye on the weather back east. >> i do think about it. thankfully we are not going to new york which we travel there a lot. but we're going to dallas. and you know i heard it's in the 50s. so yeah. >> reporter: it should be okay. >> it should be. i hope so. >> reporter: and it will be crowded at the airport this
6:36 am
holiday season. here in the bay area and across the country wherever your travels take you. aaa is predicting 98.6 million americans will be traveling this holiday season. and that is 4% more people traveling compared with last year. so far this morning at sfo no delays to report but really the story could be this weather system back east that is set to move in over the next couple of days. that really maybe could effect the travel season. >> always a good idea to check your flight if you head to the a airport. alex savidge live from sfo. before you hit the road or head to the airport, you can track the latest weather and traffic on our website just go to ktvu.com or use our wonderful ktvu mobile app. continuing coverage of the deadly shooting of two new york city police officers. we hearing from the widow of one of the officers and protestors are refusing to honor a request from new york's mayor to stop demonstrations.
6:37 am
they were sitting in their patrol car when they were shot by ismaaiyl brinsley. brinsley later took his own life. a funeral for officer ramos is planned for saturday morning. officer liu's family is on their way from china and will make his final arrangements when they arrived. >> this is a difficult time for both of our families. >> new york mayor bill de blasio asked protestors stop their demonstrations until after the officers funerals. but some say that san attempt to stop free speech. we're also hearing from the family of the shooter. ismaaiyl brinsley. his sister says he was estranged from them and deep lie troubled man. >> this has nothing to do with police retaliation. this was a troubled emotionally troubled kid. he needed help he didn't get
6:38 am
it. >> brinsley's sister and aunt say they found out about the shooting through the media. they say he was the father of two young children. he had been arrested multiple times and the question people should be asking is why did he keep getting released? a controversial antigun psa is starting an online debate. it encourages children to take their parent's gun and turn it into their teacher. >> reporter: everybody that i have shown the video to at this point they take pause and think about it so in that sense it's successful. but many are saying the message delivered in this video is dangerous. we'll let you decide. set to piano music the public service announcement shows a teenage boy sneak into a bedroom and take a handgun from
6:39 am
a dresser drawer. shoving into his backpack he takes it to school. scenes were shot at the north oakland community charter school. after students leave the classroom, the teen approaches his teacher. >> can you take this away? i don't feel safe with a gun in my house. >> reporter: certainly a startling moment in the middle of the video there. the words are children deserve a safe world. followed by stopgun violence now. some say the video is sending the wrong message. >> i think that is a safety issue in and of itself in order to have kids grab guns and take them. they want to talk to a teacher and say hey, i have a gun in my house and i'm unsafe can you talk to my parents about it? i think that is fine. but i don't think we should
6:40 am
teach to go looking for the guns and taking it out. you don't know if they are loaded. you don't know if the safety is on. so no. >> reporter: i checked the youtube page a few minutes ago the video had more than 13,000 dislakes and only 97 likes. the director of the charter school told the washington times officials granted the production company permission to shoot on campus but were not aware of the message beforehand. the backlash on social media against the director has been strong. many people as we mention saying this is the wrong message to send regardless of the important value of the debate at hand. we have posted it on our facebook and twitter pages as well as reached out to the director for comment and the oakland unified school district. brian, pam. >> certainly getting a lot of reaction. katie utehs reporting live from emoryville. police in oakland are severabling for three men that robbed a group of wedding
6:41 am
photographers, leading a bride and groom without any photos of their special day. for police say the shoot had just wrapped up when the three men approached and stole their equipment at gunpoint. the stolen equipment is worth more than $13,000 but one of the photographers said all they really want is is to get the pictures for the bride and groom. time 16:41. we are learning new information about the sexual assault accusation against a former 49er. coming up in 20 minutes what court documents reveal about the night in question and why legal analysts say the case could be hard to prosecute. >> we're live in san jose. a health scare at a fire station forces firefighters to move out. we'll tell you what is growing inside that fire house and how the problem is being fixed.
6:44 am
welcome back. it's 6:44. a fire station in san jose has temporarily been shut down after conditions became unsafe. firefighters say they have been dealing with mold. janine de la vega is joining us now from san jose to talk about this problem. it's been going on for awhile but what is being done about it? >> reporter: pam, there are no firefighters living inside fire
6:45 am
station 16. this is here in east san jose near king and cunningham. firefighters tell me that they moved out because the mold problem was getting out of hand and they were concerned about their health. now last night the firefighters moved out and went to two nearby fire houses. the fire department command staff visited the station yesterday and determined all 24 firefighters on three shifts needed to leave because of the conditions. these photos show how crews were living out of the garage. they had moved their furniture from the living room and kitchen in there because they say the mold problem got so bad. firefighters tell ktvu news there has been mold problem here for four years but they say nothing has been done to permanently fix it. it's unclear why. a fire captain told us there has been mold problems at other stations in the past. >> they have cut staffing. they have cut number of rigs on
6:46 am
the road. all the infrastructure has suffered a lack of funding. i think our structures are suffering too. >> even though forecasts from station 16 have moved, they will be patrolling their area of the city during peak hours. so there should not be a disruption to service. mayor elect sam liccardo has spoke ton the fire chief and says he has been told inspectors will be out to evaluate the infestation and the cleanup plan. in the that is a process that could take weeks. back to you. >> thank you janine. a popular coffee maker has issued a major recall. 6.6million keurig brewing systems that you see highway have been recalled because they are a burn hazard. water can over heat during brewing, spray out and burn users. are the recall effects k-10 and identification numbers starting with 31. so far there have been reports of 90 related burn injuries.
6:47 am
consumers can contact keurig for a free repair. right now it is 6:46. it's probably a popular christmas gift. >> yeah any help. any of us guys can get. pam, thank you very much. >> right. >> the traffic is moving along relatively well if you are driving today. it's better than it was on monday. highway 4 westbound for example only a five minute delay. and rosemary and i have be talking about the fog. you can see patchy fog in pittsburgh and antioch. and looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, this is a 10-15 minute delay you can tell already it's beginning to get better. usually at this time it's at the peak of the commute. it looks like the peak was just about an hour ago. now it's getting much better. as we look at contra costa county westbound 80 through richmond looks good and so does 680. so the roads are actually looking very good on this
6:48 am
tuesday. 6:47 let's go to rosemary. >> okay a half hour until the official sunrise and it's a beautiful start for many of us. on the other hand if you're in the south bay over parts of the north bay we have the fog back with us this morning. isn't that a beautiful golden and red hugh there going on this morning? we'll have mostly sunny skies for the afternoon today. today will be a lot like yesterday. in the sense of numbers. and sunny skies for the afternoon. patchy dense fog this morning. it is fairly wide spread and it again is very patchy. and when it's patchy like this it could be all the a little dangerous because you have clear skies and a wall of fog. so take it easy on the roadways this morning. ridge of high pressure will begin to weaken and on the backside of this a front is going to move through california tomorrow and bring us some rain. so for christmas eve it looks like we will have wet weather and the models becoming a little bit more consistent. has also sped up the storm a little bit. as we get you your afternoon we
6:49 am
