Thank you, sal. Happening now a Live Press Conference on the Apartment Building fire in San Francisco. Lets listen in. A plan needs to be worked out with these occupant in this building and street is deemed safe, they wont be able to enter or exit out here. Hopefully theres other access to get in and out of. How long is it closed . Until its safe. How is the firefighter . He was released last night. He had burns on his face, mostly on his fans. [the question is inaudible] i dont know. I dont know what stage it was in when i got here. I know sometimes when they do construction, they do do sprinklers on the way up. This one, i dont know. They had pipes in there for us. They were gonna try to hook up a sand pipe for the guys up top. It was too dangerous at that time to stay inside. Whats your [inaudible] as the chief said earlier to me today, this could have been bigger than a fifth alarm, obviously. My concern yesterday was getting out of the danger zone of 4th street and longview was this building. But my i thought this building for sure was gonna go up and then we wouldnt be able to stop this either. We were lucky theres a park there. The fifth alarm, thats about half of the firefighters on staff that day. Another challenge was the coverage of the city. Another division handled that adequately. Firefighters are in the building now. What are they doing . I dont know if they are in that building. Thats my big construction crews. The construction crews have been told not to go down this street, longview. Any idea how long the evacuation is for . As i said, when this is deemed safe, we can replace some of the exterior sprinklers that went off so we can put the Fire Protection back in service and we can let the people back in. Your name again . Mark gonzales. Thank you. Youve been listening live was a member of the Fire Department, Mark Gonzales, giving a very brief News Conference there, a small section we got. He was saying that 4th street is still closed and will remain closed until it is deemed safe by officials. He did update the firefighter who was injured. One firefighter injured during this firefight with first and seconddegree burns mainly to his hands. He was released last night. He did say that they were really concerned about the neighboring buildings there, especially with the wind. So were extremely fortunate to be able to get this fire limited basically just to that one Apartment Building that was under construction. They also talked about the struggles when it went to a fifth alarm fire that half of the fire force went to the building. Definitely a lot of challenges yesterday but they are doing a good job. The fire crews are still pouring water on this fire. It started about 14 hours ago near at t park. The flames gutted a large Apartment Building under construction on 4th street. This morning high winds are creating new problems for firefighters. Tara moriarty joins us live from the scene. Youve been out there for several hours and tara, its been windy the whole time. Reporter very windy and extremely dry not the most favorable conditions. I just spoke to the manager of the Apartment Building that was evacuated. There are two. One is called strata. The other one is venue, the white one is strata. There are 200 units there. What she had told me, they werent being allowed back in yet. She was going to get an update from firefighters in about 15 minutes. She said even if they were given the clear, that they would literally have to go through every single Apartment Building to make sure that it was safe before they would let people back in. Now, venue, which is next door, is only at 40 capacity. So what that means is that if some of those Apartment Buildings in strata are not looking good or deemed safe, folks from there will be able to go to venue and stay there until they can get, you know, somewhere else to be relocated or until they can get the apartments back in shape. The crews were just contending with a hot spot that re ignited. Not going anywhere any time soon. There are massive hoses in the street as firefighters continue to pour water on the building from at least five trucks. This was one of the biggest fires that San Francisco has seen in years, according to the fire chief. It was compared to a volcano. Parts of 4th street near china basin have collapsed. Theres a safety issue. Phillip lumber did not have a fire sprinkler alarm in. All allowed the fire to build and spread. The people who live next door in the nearly 200unit Apartment Building were evacuated when the fire broke out yesterday at 5 00. Well, the whole structure is gone now. There was a fird floor all the way third floor all the way down when i first got here. Its all gone. The Main Objective contain the fire to the building itself. Very challenging. There was no Fire Protection since it is under construction. We were able to put up a water curtain. Reporter at some point, arson and perhaps atf will be out here because of the size of this fire to investigate what started it. 150 firefighters tackled flames at one point. That one firefighter you heard received first and Second Degree burns. People are waiting to hear when they can get back in the building. That may take time. Most spent the night at hotels or family and friends. I will keep you posted on what officials have to say. Were live in San Francisco, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. All right. Thank you.

[ ] confusion continues this morning over exactly where the Malaysia Airlines jet was when it disappeared with 239 people on board. The flight took off from kuala lumpur Early Saturday Morning heading north to beijing. But there are conflicting reports from the malaysian military that the flight may have veered off course and suddenly headed southwest making the investigation more difficult. The planes transponders used to track the flight were turned off. You have to have a very deliberative process to turn the transponder off. If someone did that in the cockpit, they were doing it to disguise the route of the plane. Vietnam today announced it is suspending the search and rescue activities until malaysian authorities can clarify what they know about the last known location of the flight. At a News Conference this morning, malaysian authorities said they are asking u. S. Experts at the ntsb and the faa for help in the investigation.
