is we break down the fire department into ten different departments. each battalion, it becomes its own department, so in battalion two, each station has their response area, they have a laminated map, and what they would do is do a quick survey which they call a windshield survey and report back to the chief. the chief stays in the firehouse and basically becomes or she becomes their own dispatch center. we have our maps, our boards, we have some cad computers in the battalion chief houses, and we can become dispatch and run our own little fire department, and then through the a.c., we can start sending some resources to other battalions depending on that. it is a drill that we practised before and we will continue our practising. we will just continue to improve with the new maps so they can pick up with schools, places with hazardous materials, some high occupancy loads, buildings that are prone to possibly collapsing, such as educating all the companies in their area. it is just more training. >> you were doing that on a regular basis? >> yes. we h

the fire department is still on the scene.y still have one lane blocked in the low lawn, these these delays are super, super slow and they go quite a bit of ways. there is noer is have you road you can take to get around this, unfortunately. let me show you the over all delay. you are pretty much ten-miles-an-hour or less before you hit plesanton, so hop off 580, head southbound on 680 and you're a slow crawl all the way through sunon l. my suggestion, though not a whole lot better is to take 84. it's not as bad as 680. give yourself at least 20 minutes extra time if you are headed to this part of the bay area. coming out of the altamonte pass once you get through the tracy triangle and on the way, you're smooth sailing where you can see from this angle just how delayed you are to get into sunol. coming out of the altamonte pass, and 1 101 out of the south bay still looks good. sun's up and so is the photo of the maze and off to a slow jog as you are head head towards the pension la.s may not be. welcome to monday. we have cle

this, with only $3,000, just replacing windows, we do not write those to the planning or the fire departmentlieve it has to be 50,000-dollar more project before we do that, or if it was sprinkler work or fire life safety work, then the fire department would do that. and a couple of things in the brief and in the comments there, the gentleman spoke about the california existing building code. i read that little bit differently. basically, and egress, i will try to make it simple, if you have a window in a bedroom and it does not meet the current requirements of 20 inches wide minimum clear, 24 inches height minimum, 5.7 square feet in the clear opening, in the window is within 44 inches of the floor, if you don't have that and you want to change or windows, we are not going to let you go any less than that. you if you can make it bigger, great, but we're not going to let you lessen that. the part that i read about in the california existing building code, which actually i was not that familiar with until i looked it up, but when windows are required for emergency escape and rescue openings, t

in front of the picture, and i wanted people to see what we got over twitter from the san jose fire department. this was the scene when there was an active fire going on, this vehicle right here upsidedown, and the chp report talks about one vehicle that hit the center divide and flipped over on its roof, and there are three others there on fire, and one of those from the gentleman we just heard from who walked away before his car caught fire. they have managed to talk about one lane as bob talked about. bob was talking about a mile and a half of backup, and we have over two miles of backup now, and this is just easing into the morning commute. right now your best avenue to get off is at bailey and then take saint teresa boulevard. already we are seeing the slowdown start at san martin, and for your normal commute you may be backed up to cochran and that's far back from the crash approaching 85. this will be a nightmare for the driver coming in from gilroy or san martin. it will keep things in silicon valley at bay until they clean up that crash. >>> as you get ready to head out the door it's

the fire department was the first department to create the command post to integrate police and fire into a unified command. they responded -- our dayton fire department responded with medic units, three ladders and other units to support the response to the event. dayton fire department had seven jurisdictions that sent 12 additional medics. five jurisdictions provided fire station fill-in and responded to a working structure fire. they also spent time supporting and continue to spend time supporting their teammates through this event and beyond. recreational used services provided facility support for the emergency operation center at the dayton convention center. they also provided space and coordinated with the red cross to create the family assistance center and they coordinated the press room where we did multiple, multiple press events. the department of public works provided a variety of street maintenance activities and helped set up the stage for the sunday night vigil. the office of public affairs, city manager's office, mayor's office and the law department established an

these are pictures tweeted by the san jose fire department and the pictures just say it all. look at all this. look at these cars on fire. we have confirmation from chp that there has been a death involved in this crash. this is northbound 101 just before 85 and the entire direction northbound 101 is closed. this is another picture, just -- i mean just a horrible looking scene. the fire department is out there with several units. we have a crew on the way. we will let you know more but this is going to have a major effect on your drive northbound 101. it is so early in the morning that we haven't seen it yet. this is going to be backing traffic up soon from morgan hill. it's not doing it yet but it'll do it at some point if they don't open those lanes and probably won't be able to because when there is a fatal accident it takes them a while to do the investigation as well. first of all they have to put the fire out and then they will do the investigation. let's talk about some of these other commutes. westbound 580 at 205. slow traffic there and photograph take will be okay tr

the fire department is on the scene.hp in the process of moving it. 14 miles per hour right there as you approach the accident. and that backup goes past highway 4. for those of you who use highway 4, you need to get on the road early and give yourself extra time. it's super slow all t way d t wee snnaddionaln the westbound direction at cutting boulevard. two lanes blocked. and either way, we're starting to see slow downs approaching richmond. and hopefully, they get this out of the way quickly. it's a bad situation. and to another slow spot, the altamont pass. 10 miles per hour in the westbound direction out of the triangle. no issues as far as crashes or stalls. and good to go to the dublin and 680 and 84 westbound. a little bit of slowing. and that drive time in the yellow, 39 minutes. thanks to the accident, you're in the red on the east shore freeway. 36 minute ride. d stillkingnd cup of coffee and good head out of the south bay. and san mateo bridge is busy in the westbound direction. eastbound looks like a breeze.

the oakland fire department did a routine expection at laney in january, months before the small firending critical deficiencies and putting the campus on fire watch until alarm panels, fire exits and electricity lines were up to code. the documents show repairs still didn't start until late february. board members were baffled.>> shouldn't that have set off a red light? >> i'm a little bit confused. who initially is responsible and drop the ball? >> since then the district has been spending $12,000 a week to have security guards walk the campus and check every building, every 30 minutes of every day. just to make sure nothing catches fire. it's something that was anticipated to be solved in march but there are still notifications on the building saying the fire watch is still happening. >> is that acceptable to you? >> no, obviously not. >> because a few weeks turned into half a year and roughly $350,000 and counting. two investigates found the guards that were supposed to be checking campus appearing to lounge around, smoke, or stare at their phones, day after day. the security comp

the san jose fire department said one person was detained for possibly setting fires yesterday on purposelief to residents but there's still some concern as well. we talked with one resident yesterday who says they've seen within the last few weeks five fires in the neighborhood. the park is busy during the day so any fire has potential to harm several people. dozens of areas of suspected do february to yesterday. >> is it just coincidence, fireworks, homeless encampment, an arsonist. what is the cause? awfully suspicious where you have repeated clusters of fires in the same areas. >> reporter: we reached out to the san jose fire department to get the answers to his questions and at this point we're still waiting on a response. >>> thank you. >> it's 4:30. a quick update on your weather and traffic. >> let's take a look at the visibility outside. you can see it's down to zero at half moon bay. that's where the thickest fog is right now. for everythingry where. missing some of our reporting station.
