A building at renowned Medical Center just before 3 00. No word yet on the gunmans motive. The Medical Center is the largest hospital in northern nevada. A shelter in place has been lifted in san jose after a gas leak closed a downtown street for hours. That leak capped about 1 30 this afternoon. Construction crews accidentally cut into a gas line buried under the alameda just after 11 00 this morning. Traffic was halted in a six block area around that leak as pg e crews dug up the street to cap it. Well, its happened again. Another smoky fire at a Metal Recycling plant in redwood city. Its the second fire in as many months at Sims Metal Management on seaport boulevard. Thick white smoke carried the stench of burning plastic as far south as mountain view. It started with a small explosion in a pile of light iron recyclables after midnight. The cause may be difficult to figure out. This little pile has been shredded so we probably wont be able to figure out the exact cause but we do have the tapes and we are working with the agencies and will be doing a thorough investigation. Youll remember another fire on november 10 at the same facility sent thick dark smoke billowing to the south bay. That fire ignited a heap of crushed cars and burned for more than 7 hours. A short time ago we got a chance to tour the plant. You can see the piles of material throughout the yard. It recycles things like cars, aluminum cans, televisions and other electronics. Sims was issued a public nuisance violation in 2007 for the large qualities of contaminants at the site. Len ramirez tells us that fire is one of several factors that prompted a health alert in Santa Clara County today. Len. Reporter thats right. You can see what were talking about right here.

I know that i probably should have stayed in today. But i still, you know, need to do the run. Reporter it was a record tenth straight spare the air day but to make matters worse, the san jose area was sandwiched by the drifting smoke of two major fires one to the south in big sur, the other at the sims Metal Recycling plant in redwood city. All smoke is hazardous, doesnt matter whether its fire in your fireplace, barbecue. Any product that burns is going to throw off, you know, by products of smoke which is toxic. Reporter with no wind to speak of, the dirty air was stagnanting abouting something you could see an taste. The air is not too tasty today. Reporter Santa Clara CountyHealth Director dr. Sarah cody issued a Public Health warning about the air urging residents to stay indoors if they could. San jose unified did that, restricting thousands of students to spend recess inside. Just not that nice to be out in the air today. So i think thats a good choice from the School District and they always err on the side of cautions for their kids. Reporter bay area air Quality ManagementOfficials Say this unprecedented string of air alert days is going to continue making this one of the worst periods of air pollution in recent years. So we have called the 11th spare the air alert here in the bay area and thats due to a very stubborn weather system thats been in place over the bay area for more than a week. Unfortunately, it allows wood smoke pollution. We are see unhealthy levels today. Reporter these record setting days will continue. The 11th straight spare the air day will be called for tomorrow. No woodburning here in the bay area. And people are asked to stay indoors if that breathing becomes differences. Len ramirez, kpix 5.

Big ridge of High Pressure literally is higher pressure pushing down the on the atmosphere so all the stuff and the pollution in the atmosphere is also pushed down. Guess where we live at the bottom of the atmosphere so thats a problem for us. That ridge needs to move. It wont move in time for tomorrow. Look at that time lapse from san jose. The clouds look beautiful but that film of haze and smoke and pollution was sitting over the city and its the Santa Clara Valley that will be the bulls eye once again tomorrow. You will have the worst air quality mostly because of that fire burning down towards big sur. That smoke will work its way over the Santa Cruz Mountains into the south bay. But everybody with moderate air quality and this is going to continue for a while. We do see a change in the winds and even a rain chance coming up in the extended forecast in about five minutes.
