way in along the coastline. inside the bay it is mild. 64 san francisco. 60 san jose. 49 in santa rosa. by the afternoon, still hot in spots in the valleys some of those temperatures soaring into the 90s. you will see some 80s a few 90s inside the bay and much cooler temperatures. that sea breeze is kicking in along the coast. they have been looking at some record heat in southern california. and some very strong santa ana winds. at least nine wildfires are burning out of control in san diego county. san marcos is one trouble spot. the cal state campus there is evacuated. thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes. dozens of houses in the coastal town of carlsbad have already been lost. fire crews from the bay area in sacramento are heading south to help. andrew spencer reports from san diego county firefighters are pooling their resources to try to gain control. >> reporter: several more wildfires started in southern california on wednesday with the fire burning so close to houses, it's no surprise that

officials issued some 23,000 evacuation notices in carlsbad alone. >> the wind doesn't make it any easier. i mean, the wind can change and all of a sudden it just seems like we're going to safe and we're not. so we packed everything and we're out of there. it's been very stressful. there's a lot of big plumes of smoke and they are getting larger. >> reporter: in oceanside, flames devoured the brush on this mountainside coming very close to the homes below. firefighters are doing what they can to keep the flames at bay. but at least 20 structures in san diego county have been destroyed. the smoke rising from the fire in san marcos could bestein for miles as the thick plumes shattered the horizon. some officials worry about so many fires starting in a short amount of time. >> i'm sure it could be by chance but i'll leave it up to investigators. i think there's too much of a coincidence here. >> reporter: while thrash of fires came early in the season the weather only contributed to their spread. the temperature in san diego hit 93 on wednesday with steady

winds to fan the fire and conditions were already very dry in southern california. many areas have experienced drought. i'm andrew spencer reporting. >> and officials say all of the schools in the city of san diego and many others in surrounding cities will be closed today because of the fires. and another check of your "kcbs traffic." we are watching a traffic alert this morning in petaluma. so they were able to re-open one lane of southbound 101. it's close to the petaluma river bridge just past that petaluma boulevard south exit. they have called for a couple of tow crews but one lane is at least getting by. fire crews are blocking the right lane kind of intermittently so they are re- opening the lane for a while. backups are extensive now. it's a tight squeeze right around east washington but we're seeing slow sensors back to petaluma boulevard south. so definitely give yourself some extra time there and that traffic alert in effect until further notice. also getting word of this new problem now. this is in concord southbound 242 approaching concord avenue

we can see some slowdowns on our sensors in that area. again, sounds like it's a two- car crash, one lane is blocked and even highway 4 is sluggish westbound into concord out of pittsburg-bay point. here's a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza, third strayed morning, if you have been count, i'm sure you have if you commute this every day, metering lights turned on early so it's stacked up into the macarthur maze for a while. some of the approaches are starting to slow as well especially that 580 approach jammed to at least 4. that's your latest "kcbs traffic." back to you guys. >> thank you. developing news in san francisco this morning. what a mess it's been! a truck slammed into a funeral home on market street causing a two-alarm fire. anne makovec has more. >> reporter: you can see the damage here behind me this semi truck will be here until they can drain the diesel fuel off of it and move it out of the way. it is on market and sanchez. it caught fire last night at about 12:30 p.m. the driver lost control crossed

the center line came back over and careened into sullivan funeral home. this is viewer video, youtube video of that fire at about 12:30 this morning. the fire department put it out before it did much damage and the funeral homeowners say they're lucky. >> luckily, he evidently was able to maneuver where he was able to miss, you know, not go directly into it. thank god nobody was killed. it could have been a lot worse all the way around. >> reporter: you can see some of the damage here to the funeral home building. firefighters had to break down some of the doors and break some of the windows to be able to attack that fire. but overall, the damage to this building is minimal. as for the driver and his passenger in this big rig, they were taken away by ambulance but their injuries are nonlife- threatening. in san francisco, anne makovec, kpix 5. the eastbound lanes of that stretch of market street in san francisco have reopened. but westbound remains closed. it's a beautiful place to visit but make sure you gas up

first. the only gas station in point reyes station is shut down. a car crashed into the station yesterday and while it doesn't look like much happened, it's enough to force the station to shut down for three days. and this puts drivers in a tight spot. the next gas station is 20 miles away in bolinas. a woman is in jail accused of an unprovoked attack on a 4- year-old girl yesterday at a walmart in east san jose. more now from kpix 5's joe vazquez. reporter: the 4-year-old girl was riding in the shopping cart. she was with her dad in the purse section when police say the attacker suddenly came out of nowhere. >> the female entered the store and for no apparent reason basically drew a crowbar that she had carried into the store from her person and struck the child twice in the head causing serious injuries. >> reporter: police say this homeless woman, 18-year-old maria garate was trying to hit the girl again before her father jumped in and then he took hard shots, as well. >> if somebody was attacking my daughter, not much would keep me from trying to stop that attack.

i think the father did what any father would do. even though he was getting hit, he intervened and was able to stop the attack and he deserves applause. i know he did it out of love but it was heroic. >> reporter: walmart security held the woman until the police got there and charged her with assault with a deadly weapon. joe vazquez, kpix 5. >> the girl was sent to the hospital for treatment of injuries not considered life- threatening. no word of possible motive. amazon is about to bring hundreds of jobs here to the bay area. the online retailer is about to open up a huge warehouse in newark. it will create some 400 new jobs and the mayor says it will be a big boost for the city. >> you have 400 jobs, those people go out and buy lunch. they will do some of their shopping in newark. >> amazon's newark distribution center will be open by the end of summer and there's been a shift in businesses now moving

gate. we'll check that with kcbs radio's financial reporter jason brooks after the break. >> and we want to invite all of you pet lovers out there, send us your questions about their health and well-being. just email pets@kpix.com or on our website, kpix.com pets. and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. >> a cooldown is in the works. the pollen count still running medium to medium high today probably a little more so for tomorrow and almost holding steady right through the weekend. we'll have more news and weather when we come back.

around the bay area today, we are going to see the temperatures beginning to cool. some 70s near the coastline, the sea breeze kicking up there. maybe some 60s into the afternoon. still plenty of 80s down the peninsula. some 90s in parts of the south bay. so on the hot side away from the immediate coastline again

but the cooling has gotten under way. it looks like in the east bay, no triple digits for today but it will be hot enough. 95 in livermore. 96 in brentwood. about 94 degrees in danville. in the north bay, it is staying hot this afternoon except along the coastline. some cooler temperatures moving in toward bodega bay with the sea breeze there, about 68 degrees. 89 though in santa rosa. into san francisco, a little breezy this afternoon, 77 degrees. developing in south korea right now, 50 crew members of the ferry that sank killing hundreds of high school students have now been indicted. the captain and three other crew members are facing homicide charges, accused of failing to carry out their duties to protect the passengers. other crew members are facing lesser charges. 281 people were killed in last month's disaster. 23 people still unaccounted for. the new jobless claims are down. consumer prices are on the way up. here's kcbs radio's financial

reporter jason brooks. >> reporter: a mixed bag on the click front but jobless claims are going in the right direction. the labor department says they fell to a 7-year allow, down 24,000 to 297,000. lowest since may of 2007. four-week average edging lower as well to just over 323,000. however, consumer prices are on the rise. the labor department's consumer price index for april rose three-tenths of a percent, the strongest game in ten months. inflation had been really flat for some time compared to the .2% gain in march, prices up 1.8% from a year earlier. and we saw a decent rise in gas prices up over 2% strongest gain in a few months for gas prices. cisco provided some earnings news that was welcomed by investors even though its revenue was down 5.5% from a year earlier to $11.5 billion, it was stronger than expected. also nice improvement in its margins. that's got cisco shares on the

rise this morning. however, the market going in the wrong direction. for the second straight day ongoing geo-political tensions worrying investors. china, vietnam and ukraine and russia adding to the mix. let's check the big board see how we're doing. the dow down by 81, nasdaq down 19, s&p down 10. cisco up over 6%. back to you. >> thank you. starting today, four major wireless carriers are making it possible to send a text message to 911 instead of calling. that includes sprint, verizon, at&t and t-mobile. but not everyone can use the service right away. 911 centers in your area must be able to handle text messages and many are just not ready. but eventually the carriers and fcc hope to provide 90% of the population with text to 911 features. police in san francisco are going after drivers who don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. our cameras were rolling as san francisco police set up a sting operation in the outer sunset

near sunset and yorba, a particularly dangerous intersection. kpix 5's cate caugiran is live in the newsroom. cate, it's not just drivers cops are going after. it turns out pedestrians are also breaking the rules. >> yes, michelle. picture this. you're about to cross the street and you see the crosswalk countdown has already started. do you run to beat the clock or wait? be careful how you answer because what you don't know could cost you. reporter: what do you think the numbers on the crosswalk countdown mean? >> hurry up. >> reporter: not so much. intersection 21456 of the california vehicle code. >> the letter of the law is you do not enter the crosswalk unless there's a green hand. >> reporter: meaning that last- second dash to beat the clock is, you guessed it, illegal. >> once that green hand turns into a flashing red hand, if you are not already in the roadway, crossing the street, you're not to enter the roadway. >> reporter: it was a surprise, one quickly ignored by people i spoke with at embarcadero and mission. what if i told you that under california state law, you're

not supposed to enter the crosswalk when the countdown is going, only for those who are already in it? >> no. >> it wouldn't surprise me but we're going to do that right now because we're late. >> reporter: you're breaking the law. how much do you think the ticket is? >> too much. >> reporter: by the way, if busted that ticket is 192 bucks. the problem, according to the san francisco police department, isn't just distracted drivers but the belief by walkers that they always have the right of way. >> we have seen collisions where a pedestrian is deep into the sidewalk, sees a few seconds remaining on the countdown, decides to sprint across the roadway as the car may be making the turn and literally running into the path of a car. >> reporter: san francisco police say don't expect a massive crackdown on this but officers say if you violate the rule in front of them, expect to get a ticket. live in the newsroom, cate

caugiran, kpix 5. we have a "kcbs traffic" alert if you saw it flash across your screen. it's in petaluma where one lane is blocked by fire crews and major delays, this is a serious injury accident. the extent of the injuries is unknown. it's southbound 101 by the petaluma river bridge. traffic is really stacked up from east washington but it's even slow behind that. also, in concord, southbound 242 at concord avenue we still have an accident there blocking one lane. traffic looks jammed up from at least highway 4. and we have some breaking news overnight. a big rig crashed into a funeral home in the city's castro district in san francisco's castro district so they opened the eastbound lanes of market but westbound market street is shut down between sanchez and noe. we have had a live reporter there all morning. in the meantime, in the south bay now northbound 101 is sluggish just past the 280/680 interchange. our usual stuff. and then it clears up past that

julian/mckee exit. the golden gate bridge flowing nicely, gorgeous morning coming into san francisco from marin county. mass transit is all on time right now. ace train number 3 looks good to go. ace train number 1 had some slight delays. bart systemwide on time. that's your latest "kcbs traffic." more on our forecast, here's lawrence. i think by tomorrow we'll see some fog in the golden gate bridge and along the coastline. maybe a couple of patches returning this afternoon. looks like the cooldown going to get under way today although it is still going to stay hot in many of the valleys and very warm even inside the bay. you see the clouds beginning to make their way closer to the coastline now as it looks like high pressure finally breaking down. so two days of record heat, that was about enough. looks like we are going to cool things down all around the bay area especially into tomorrow and much cooler throughout the weekend. that ridge of high pressure sliding a little bit further to the east and you have this next weather system kind of knocking on the door here helping to break down that ridge and flatten it out somewhat and bring us some cooler temperatures and that sea breeze going to feel good by the afternoon. also some good news. the air quality should improve

a little bit. it is not a "spare the air" day today, pollutants moderate but it looks like it will improve especially if the wind picks up clearing things out. hot in the central valleyly 100s there, 80 monterey bay, and this is something we haven't been able to show you for a while, some clouds on the computer forecast model. in fact, some low clouds and fog developing late tonight and early tomorrow morning. and then moving in possibly just inside the bay. so some cooler weather is on the way. but it will take a little longer to get to the valleys. still some hot 90s into the south bay. you will see 70s though out toward the coastline. maybe 60s late in the day as that sea breeze really starts to ramp up a bit. still hot and well into the 90s in many of the interior valleys. and inside the bay you're looking at 70s and a couple of 80s. next couple of days, we are going to watch those temperatures cooling down. back to normal it looks like on saturday and sunday. maybe slightly below normal breezy and a few more clouds as we head in toward next monday. but still, guys, a bit hot still in some of the valve links. it will take another day -- a

bit hot still in some of the valleys. it will take another day to cool down. alum rock park is shut down for the day because of the high fire danger. yesterday it was 96 degrees with 11% humidity. another factor in closing the park the availability of firefighters and equipment in case there is a fire there. the state has declared an early start to fire season. it started in every california county except three there along the north coast. oakland police urge people to be careful about leaving doors and windows open despite the nasty heat wave. they are seeing an uptick in home invasions now. police say some criminals are forcing their way in. but others just look for unlocked doors. meanwhile oakland has a new police chief. he won't need time to settle in. the mayor named sean whent as the department's permanent chief. he has been doing the job for a year on an interim basis. before that he headed up internal affairs. since whent took over violent crime has gone down and the

department is closer than ever to completing court ordered reforms. time now 6:53. nearly 13 years after attack that changed america, the national 9/11 memorial museum finally set to open its doors. a look inside coming up next. >> a popular san jose casino could be forced to close. a scathing report coming up. ♪ ♪ thank you! thank you! dedicated bankers born to go the extra mile. you've been such a big help. it's what i like to do.

petaluma. "kcbs traffic" alert still in effect southbound 101 petaluma boulevard south. this was the scene of a multicar accident. i guess it's now more than an hour old. and traffic backs up to pepper so those traffic backups continue to grow. we don't have an estimated time of re-opening of the lanes. one lane is closed by fire crews. so all the traffic is bottlenecking there in petaluma. an easier commute in marin county. this is near ygnacio clear to the golden gate bridge. bay bridge different story stacked up to the macarthur maze. westbound 580 approach is jammed up. cooler weather around the bay area a nice started to the day and again, some mild temperatures many places in the 60s. valleys 90s, 70s at the beaches, stronger sea breeze, fog returning tonight and tomorrow and a much cooler weekend ahead, guys. >> all right. sounds good. thanks for watching kpix 5 news this morning. remember your next local update
