Pete suratos is live on the ground at the scene of the fire investigation. Is this a concern this is going to continue to spread or does it sound like they have a handle on it . Reporter well, good morning to you, kris and sam. Were in position waiting to get more information from the Sheriffs Department and the fire crew on the ground. Just off goodyear road i can tell you this fire is still going here, that vegetation fire as weve been reporting all morning long. According to a person who works in the area, not far from the sfrat the park, says it looks to be an Organics Company. Whats catching on fire appears to be mulch. Were talking about maybe tree bark, grass, mulch, along those lines. Thats what appears to be catching on fire. Were going to get more information to know what may have caused the fire. At least speak iing to the pers who works in the area this is a concern when you talk about the heat wave and folks being careless, flicking a cigarette in this area. You dont know the cause. Some of the things they worry about around this time of year. You are looking at a viewpoint a birds eye view of whats taking place, this vegetation fire off 680 north on goodyear road in benicia. One of the concerns is those winds move east it could be an issue as far as trying to contain this. Well bring you another update to the newsroom. Were live in benicia, pete suratos. Pete, thank you very much. We can see cars slowing down this on the highway. Mike will get to that aspect in one moment. Kari, firefighters knew this could be a concern because we had so much brush that grew. Not only that but its been so dry. What is working in their favor this morning we are at the point of the day we do have the highest amount of humidity in the air and we also had very humid conditions from the humid conditions out of a thunderstorm over the sierra. And now we still have a high risk of some thick brush catching on fire as we look at our fire danger risk level over the next several days. Humidity is most likely right now 63 range but well be dropping as we go throughout the day and the winds picking up and look iing at temperatures not oy around benicia and what we are expecting with a high of 101 degrees. You can see the humidity is at 61 . We will see the temperatures ramp up as we go through the day. I will talk about that in a few minutes, what you can expect where you live. Mike now has a traffic break in palo alto. Chp is stopping all traffic presumably to clear the two vehicles, the two trucks from the middle of northbound 101 just shy of university. It is a short section of 101. 280 is a good option if you can jump on. Coming off the dumbarton bridge is not a problem. Heading to the benicia bridge, a fire here on the eastern side. As pete is talking about between the freeway and the water but theres a lot of fuel there because of all of that organic material that appears to be burning there. So the smoke is a distraction for the commute coming off the split and down in towards that benicia bridge right around lake herman road. Thats the off ramp. You talked about it being on goodyear. Thats been a distraction and that might be sending more cars as they make that choice. Sky ranger is showing us southbound 680. For those who think they will be clever using the frontage road, thats close to the refinery on the west side of 680, this is coming towards the benicia bridge and all that smoke blowing away from the freeway but if the wind shifts that could be even more of an issue for drivers. Back to you. Well mon are tore. Thank you very much. So now to breaking news out of london where police are in the latest terror attack. It happened just overnight. Police say that suspect drove a van into a group of people. The victims in the case were worshippers who were gathered outside of a mosque after a prayer ceremony during ramadan. Ten people were injured. This happened shortly after midnight london time. The driver, 48yearold man, was arrested on the scene after a group of people were able to capture him. Witnesses report the driver was laughing after they approached the car, when he crashed it and said, quote, im going to kill all muslims. A white male in his van knew exactly what he was doing. He waited outside thes mosque. His target was muslims. He knew what time prayers were finished. He started plowing his van into them. Englands Prime Minister theresa may said the attack is, quote, every bit as sickening, four attacks in three months. One person did die at the scene. Investigators, though, at this point say its unclear if that persons death was or was directly caused by the attack. Remembering the dozens of lives lost in a devastating highrise Apartment Fire. A moment of silence was held this morning as the death toll went up to 79 people. Meantime were getting our first look at the aftermath left by those flames. These photos provided by London Metropolitan police showing the charred ruins. Experts believe the materials used to build that building may have helped those flames to spread.

This morning we could learn new details on a Police Shooting on the bay bridge that halted eastbound traffic for hours on sunday. The San Francisco chp says officers grabbed were at the scene of the crash when a red car drove around traffic and seemed to be going right towards officers.

You see all the smoke still present there and clearly items still burning. Thats the aerial look. Our pete suratos also out there with petes photographer providing us with the ground level images. Pete said he spoke with a worker in the area and this could related to an Organics Company, it could be bark or mulch burning out there. We are closely monitoring the situation. Well have a live report from the scene coming up shortly. And the reason that is so concerning we know how fast the fires can take off, portugal know that is firsthand. It has declared three days of mourning, a wildfire that killed dozens of people, many of whom were trapped in their cars. On saturday it was a deathtrap for people trying to get out and evacuate. 62 people died, many of the victims were caught when the flames spilled over a roadway. That fire is one of several still burning in rural central portugal about 100 miles northeast of lisbon. Firefighters believe lightning started that fire but at this point leaders in portugal are only concerned about the lives lost. Translator i dont want to talk yet about the cause of the fire because we are facing the greatest tragedy of human lives. So what we must do now is to calmly provide all the resources to fight the fire. Portuguese soldiers are helping to battle that fire which is being called the nations worst in more than a half century.

Were learning new details on a destructive Apartment Fire in san jose. Ten people have no place to live now after flames erupted at that complex yesterday afternoon. Thats about a were damaged and fighting the flames during the record heat proved to be quite a task for crews. The hot temperatures forced them to call in for more help. When were wearing our heavy gear on a normal day, having to do all this work on a day like today just makes the amount of time you can work so much shorter. We bring in a lot of extra personnel to rotate people quickly that we dont wipe out our own people. It took about 30 minutes for crews to gain control of the fire. No one was injured. 6 15 right now.

Usually we with would be outside grilling but this time we hunkered down and watched all the movies dad wanted to watch. Up on full blast because you have the fans and air conditioners humming in the background. Its really hard to deal with this heat. We are going to have to deal with it over the next several days as we have more high heat for the valleys. Looking live right now as the sun rises its all clear and it feels really muggy as you go out the door. Were seeing some clouds lingering over San Francisco, although it makes for a beautiful sun rise, weve seen this coming out of humidity that actually surged out of this air. Look how hot it was yesterday. We got up to 103 degrees. It hasnt been since 2008 since weve had weather this hot the and it doesnt look like it will be losing its grip until about the end of the week. We did talk about the humidity moving through.

Look it at the valleys, 105 degrees and only slightly cooler as we head into the weekend. You were talking with about the slowing because of the smoke in benicia. Right now, kari, its blowing away from the freeway but things may change this is southbound 680 right alongside the freeway is the frontage road where some use to escape the backup. Thats worse. You might as well stick to 680. Here is that plume of smoke from the fire, the vegetation fire. It looks like debris as well in the area. Pete is following the source of that.
