it was tough for many of the neighbors because an 8-year-old girl died in this fire. she was visiting from north carolina and was staying with relatives here at the apartments. firefighters found the 8-year-old in a back bedroom of a bottom apartment unit and pulled her out. she died an hour later. there were five other children and a couple of adults inside when the fire broke out. most of them were able to get out on their own. ten others were hurt in this fire. mostly scrapes and bumps and from breathing in too much smoke. the fire was pretty intense. >> what was the fire shooting out or -- >> i mean, bad. i've never seen anything like that in my life. bad. >> reporter: now most of the damage was kept to one apartment where the fire started. but some other nearby units had smoke damage. a san jose investigators are trying to figure out how this fire started. live in san jose tonight, george kiriyama, nbc bay area news. as firefighters battled flames at that apartment complex, two more fires broke t in san jose. one was on on t ahinue on the city's east side. no injuries reported there. crews were called out to the miranda villa senior citizen complex near o'connor hospital. everyone had to wait outside for an hour and a half while firefighters put out the flames. two people were treated for smoke inhalation but there were no major injuries there. and not much damage to the building. firefighters say the fire started on a stove top. >> we're learning more tonight about a pit bull attack in oakland where a 7-year-old girl ended up in the hospital. it happened in a back yard near macarthur and 82nd avenue. nbc bay area's kimberly tere is in oakland with the latest. >> reporter: this is the second of two recent attacks by pit bulls and it's really put the spotlight back on this dog. bringing up safety issues concerning this breed. today, as you mentioned, 7-year-old girl recovering after a pit bull bit her in the face yesterday. she had surgery and is now said to be in stable condition. witnesses told police she was in a backyard near the intersection of macarthur and 82nd avenue in oakland when the owner of the pit bull asked if she wanted to pet that dog. they say almost immediately the dog lunged, biting her in the face. now this attack comes just two days after a 2-year-old boy was mauled to death by three pit bulls in concord. the executive director of east bay spca says they already have several pit bulls at their shelter, some there more than a year and these recent maulings will likely make people even more leary of adopting this breed. >> they are wonderful dogs. but when -- especially when we have tragic situations like we've had this past weekend, it drives even more folks away from the breed. and it really say death sentence for the breed when in fact, i think what we should really take away from this is educating. we need to educate people around breeds. >> executive director allison lynn says people really need to do their homework before get anything dog. they need to understand the responsibilities that come with certain breeds. and she says if a dog is exhibiting any questionable behavior, owners need to address it right away, calling their local spca who can oftentimes do an evaluation for temperament and possibly mitigate bad behavior before it eska lats. now the east bay spca has a special training course called bully basic designed for bully dogs. the class addresses some of their triggers and, of course, helps families that own these dogs deal with their high energy. so if you are interested in that class it begins on september 11th. that's the new class. and if you aren't living in the east bay, just contact your local spca and i'm sure they can tell you about a similar class in your area. live in oakland, kimberly tere, nbc bay area news. >> that is the spay and neutering program, works wonders. hundreds of people live in the small impoverished southern california town of belle. they took to the streets today. their town is making headlines because several city workers are making hundreds of thousands of dollars each, thanks to the taxpayers. they headed to a market owned by the mayor and called for his resignation. the mayor makes $100,000 a year in that small town. but this week, a los angeles times report showed the city manager brings home nearly $800,000 a year. to manage a city with 40,000 people. now by comparison, the same job in long beach with ten times as many people pays $235,000 a year. >> the leaders have shamed our city. they have destroyed the trust and the confidence of the people and we're here to reinvent our city and hopes to bring our city back to what our city used to be. >> three of those leaders in question resigned thursday to add insult to injury. they'll still receive pensions. the city manager is set to receive $650,000 a year for life of taxpayer money. that would be the highest pension in the state. 1 in 6 people in belle, by the way, lives in poverty. meantime, the state is set to enter its 26th day without a budget. senate and is asembly leaders have been working to resolve the $19 billion deficit. one of the major sticking points, tax increases. nbc bay area's political analyst larry gersten says sacramento may be used to the late budget issue but there are hundreds of thousands of people across the e who are really hurting in this budget stalemate. >> but the fact of the matter is there are things happening. vendors aren't getting paid. the people with homes that take care of the informed, state-supported homes, aren't getting paid. students who are waiting for state support that they would normally get, aren't getting it. therefore, they can't register for classes. with the cutbacks may miss a semester or year altogether. >> the fiscal year started july 1st. the governor has tried to order state workers to be paid minimum wage until lawmakers pass a budget but so far that's been unsuccessful. a great honor for the man known as the voice of the giants today. and he's not just a major part of the team. he's also a native of the bay area. laura behnke is here with a look at the newest hall of famer, jon miller. >> we've known about this awhile but it does not make today the actual event any less special. when you think of the giants, one of the first guys that come to mind, his voice is synonymous with the game. jon miller taking his place in cooperstown. the voice of the giants was honored with the ford c. frick award, which means a place in the baseball hall of fame. he became a giants fan when he fell in love with the game growing up in haywarth. he's worked all over baseball. it wasn't until 1987 he was able to come home as he took over the radio play by play job. today's honor, another dream come true. >> i'm a kid from hayward. i just wanted a job i could eat french fries while working and now here i am today. thank you very much. thank you. >> well, it was a good day for milner more days than one. we'll show you why with highlights from today's giants game coming up in sports. should washington keep the tax cuts for the wealthy? that's next at 6:00, a battle

but he wants to retain the tax cut for the middle class. the republicans say if the tax cuts for the rich go away, they'll take more jobs with them. >> only in washington, d.c., would anyone believe that raising taxes creates more jobs. they know we can't tax and spend our way back to a growing economy. >> i think it is fair and good policy to allow those tax cuts that only go to 2% to 3% of the highest earners in the country to expire as scheduled. >> reporter: that leaves republicans and fiscally conservative democrats with a tough choice. keep the tax cuts for the rich, that is and risk the anger of the middle class in this election year. the days are ticking down until arizona's controversial new immigration law takes effect on thursday. the legal fight is far from over. on friday there were two sfr separate hearings in phoenix that attracted hundreds of protesters. they claim the law would undermine u.s. foreign policy and that immigration is a federal, not state responsibility. a separate suit filed by coalition of civil rights groups argues the law is an invitation for racial profiling and should be tossed out because of that. the law requires police to investigate the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect may be in this country illegally. bp's embattled ceo appears on his way out for good tonight. tony hayward is being permanently replaced and could be gone as early as tomorrow. hayward has been, you might say, somewhat of a pr disaster for bp. early on, he said "he wanted his life back" while speaking to families whose loved ones had died in the original explosion on the rig. and then a few weeks ago he was blasted for going to an exclusive yacht race in england while oil washed up on gulf shores. one possible replacement

francisco, including four more at stern grove at 2:00 p.m. on sundays. it's a super fast race car. and it doesn't use any gas. our business and tech reporter scott budman was there for a little ride-along on that car. >> reporter: it was the gawk of san francisco. locals and tourists all trying to get a glimpse of this. a full-blown sports car that can do 150 miles per hour and it's totally

degrees. give you some live shots right now. we'll start off with san francisco. look at that flag just going. the wind is blowing through the golden gate anywhere from 15 to 20 miles per hour at

rather cool. 71 in san jose. running 2 to almost 10 degrees cooler than we were this time yesterday. also a lot of lightning strikes right up the sierra. high fire danger for the sear from lake tahoe through reno because of all the lightning. all of that moisture is getting wrapped up from the monsoon happening over the desert southwest. the four corners region, utah, colorado, new mexico. they get that summertime monsoon but that moisture is coming to us. it's getting closer to us. we're getting the thunderstorms. here's the reason we're staying cool as well. a spin just off the coast giving us the thick fog during the overnight hours and also the breeze during the afternoon. especially out of the southwest. so having said that, temperatures will be a lot cooler than average. 10 to 15 degrees cooler than average tomorrow. thunderstorms in the sierra nevada as well and then we'll start to see those be gone by wednesday or so. temperatures running cooler than average. tomorrow's high 60 in san francisco. 81 in livermore. mid-70s for napa and sonoma counties. the santa clara valley. warm pockets we were just talking about right in through morgan hill only into the lower 80s.

thousands of people took to the streets today for the city's 32nd annual marathon. actually, there were 24,000 runners in all. some ran the full 26.2 miles while others took on the half marathon or the 5k. that's sort of more my speed. a 25-year-old grad student at stanford came in first among the men with a time 26 hours, 23 minutes. not bad. the north carolina woman had the fastest woman's time and a san francisco woman took third with a time of 3 hours, 1 minute. yeah, i can't do that. running is not one of my things. and so, you know, there we go. >> me either. congratulations to everyone who it is. >> a lot of baseball stuff going on. >> on the field, off the field, we're everywhere today. it started as a way to eat french fries while getting paid and it became one heck of a career. now jon miller is a hall of famer. plus -- >> here he goes again. buster posey not content with one hit to extend his streak today. he decided to add another and another and another. and the a's are not ready to quit on the playoff race just yet. ed.theox s sportss i the red sox. sports is next. ne the giants radio game broadcast hasn't quite been the same this weekend without jon miller. but the long time play by play man has a pretty good excuse for skipping out. today, miller was hundred with the ford c. frick award and induction into cooperstown. the bay area native said he just wanted a job he could do while eating french fries. he became one of the most recognizable voices in the game of gable. a national audience knows him from 20 years as espn's lead baseball announcer and he's been the lead voice of the giants for 13 years. now he's in a very elite club. >> i walk into a room and, look there, it's zeus. henry aaron. oh, look over there. it's apollo. willy mays. so i've been walking on air ever since i got into town. agairngs i'm not sure how it happened but i'm grateful. >> with a four-game sweep on the line, a team really can't ask for much more than having a two-time cy young award winner on the mound to ensure it. unless, of course, that two-time cy young award winner is coming off an inning he allowed less than five runs in five innings. he usually bounces back. today tim lincecum holding the d'backs to two runs in eight innings. top one, buster posey's streak continues. drops this ball in center. it's going to take a funny bounce and roll back. that's an rbi double. 1-0, giants. posey, four hits today. he was 4 for 5. why did he get five at-bats? this game went to the tenth. two outs. travis ishikawa. more clutch hitting. 3-2. brian wilson came in for the save as the giants pull off the sweep, 3-2, the final. they return home with a 6-1 road trip. there's more good news today on the kchb velez. he was released from the hospital today after taking the line drive foul ball off his head during last night's game in arizona. now the reserve outfielder does have a concussion but he's well enough to fly with the team back to san francisco this evening. the giants did place velez on the disabled list calling up ryan rollinger. it's been 11 weeks since dallas braden secured his place in the history books by tossing a perfect game. there's just been one problem. he hasn't won since. ten starts, a trip to the disabled list and a five-game losing streak standing between the perfecto and today. out at the coliseum this afternoon, braden getting another chance as he and the a's try to take the series from the white sox. look who is taking it all in. philip seymour hoffman scouting for his role in "money ball." 1-0, chicago. bases loaded. derek varton, a little nice timely hitting. 2-1. a's take the lead. they don't look back. bottom four, kurt suzuk epretty much on fire since signing his new deal. scored zuk pennington. 5-1. proves to be your game-winner. the a's win and have taken eight of their last ten. don't miss "sports sunday" tonight. we have a's hurlers breslow and bailey joining us. and the newest warrior jeremy lynn. he'll be in studio. that's tonight at 11:25 on "sports sunday." with baseball's trade deadline just days away, another top starting pitcher officially off the market. today the angels swung a deal with the diamondbacks actually during the giants game to bring danaheron to anaheim for the stretch run of the season. the last place d'backs get joe saunders and two minor league hurlers. for herron, the three-time all-star will help the halos solidify a rotation missing scott kazmir. they'll also help them keep pace with the rangers who they trail by six games bhop is this bad news for? the a's. they are still look up at the angels and the rangers as they try to climb back into this race. that's how baseball goes. we'll see if anybody else pulls off any deals. >> it was fun getting to watch the hall of fame. >> definitely an exciting day. >> thanks for choosing the bay area at 6:00. we'll see you back here at 11:00. until then, good night. and now another viewpoint, response to a bay area editorial. >> almost 40% our public schools budget is spent on overhead. we need to consolidate management and merge districts so we can keep more money in our xlrms that's the editorial stand we took last week and you've responded. one viewer rallies for reform. repeal prop 13 and make everyone pay their fair share. then there's joe. think about the districts where you live. less administration and more dependency on people doing their jobs without so much management oversight. and darlene adds why not go straight to the source. textbooks are a problem. teachers can be using actual documents from the library of
