are no hotspots in the three buildings affected. high winds and the closeness of each of these buildings to each other caused firefighters a lot of concern. at about 8:15 the fire started in the back of the building at 3212 mission street. firefighters say the fire rose up the back of the building and spread to the roof. the buildings on either side also caught fire. the owner of the blue plate restaurant next doorsteped outside because he could smell strange smoke. >> and then i looked above the building and the wind was whipping and the fire was pouring over both of these buildings. >> the wind was a major concern. strong gusts made it difficult for firefighters to get a ham on the fire from the rooftop. more than 100 firefighters attacked the blaze. they entered from the rear of the building and raised ladders to get inside 3212 and stop the flames from spreading further. >> the good news is no civilians are injured. we have one firefighter that we transported to the hospital with muss skew low skeletal

injuries. >> the firefighter was taken to san francisco general hospital. 16 residents have been displaced. the red cross is on site to offer assistance. we spoke to residents who are not sure what kind of damage the fire has done to their homes. >> we are on the middle floor. so we are hoping it is minimal. the upper floor seems like it is pretty much burned. >> i think in our apartment there were two people, but they are okay. >> arson investigators have gone inside to the three affected buildings, and they determined the fire started in the lower unit behind the dental office at 3212 mission street. the cause of the fire is under investigation. firefighters say they are going to be here checking this fire out and making sure it is out until at least 8:00 in the morning. reporting live in san francisco, thomas roman, abc news. >> thank you, thomas. and certainly wind conditions did not help the situation. taking a look at the flags on top of the ferry building there to the left you can see how strong those winds are.

spencer christian is here with more on the conditions for us. >> winds have been gusty through the afternoon and evening hours, and even in the last two or three hours we have not seen the winds daw mile-per-hour knish. we are looking at gusts up to 24 miles per hour,31 miles per hour in oakland. you can see that near the bay and near the coastline, very, very strong winds. you can see them tapering off a bit. even as far as concord and fairfield will have gusty winds. this is not helping the firefighting effort. and it looks like it will take several hours to diminish. we will be back with a complete look at the forecast. congressional and white house staffers are in for an all nighter in washington. they are huddled trying to reach an agreement to beat a friday deadline and the first government shut down in 15 years. in a rare late night briefing the president said while there is not a deal, there is at least progress. >> my expectation is that folks are going to work

through the night. >> the president met late tonight with congressional leaders at the white house. when it was over they walked away empty handed. >> i have confidence we can get this done. we are not there yet but -- but hope liesy ter national. >> there is an intent on both sides to continue to work together to try to resolve this. nobody wants the government to shut down. >> both parties are at odds about $10 billion in spending cuts and policy changes including an attempt to stop funding planned parenthood. publicly no one says they want a shut down, the government is preparing for one just in case. at least 800,000 workers will be furloughed. national parks like yosemite would close. income tax returns would pile up at the irs and refunds delayed. >> i'm worried how the government shut down will affect our refund. we live check to check. >> they are waiting for an

adoption refund after four-year-old teddy from ethiopia joined the family last summer. with the student loans and adoption costs they have been scraping by. >> if i can speak to the president or the congressional leadership, i would tell them that their grandstanding has affects as it trickles down to normal everyday americans. >> and tonight the president reacted to henderson's concern. >> i could not have said it better myself. a shut down could have real affects on everyday americans. >> now, republicans plan to offer a bill to keep the government running for another week and cut $12 billion. there is just one problem, president obama has already rejected it. we move next to california's budget battle. jerry brown encouraged democrats to hug a republican in hopes of restarting the budget talks. the governor ended negotiations with the gop last week. the two sides failed to reach a deal on holding a special election to ask voters to extend some temporary tax

increases. >> today, hug a republican. hug a republican and tell them you love them. build up his or her self-esteem and just give a hope. >> it was not all smiles and laughs. uc students were told they could see tuition sky rocket to $20,000 if an all cuts budget goes into affect. it currently costs students about $12,000 a year plus books and other fees to attend uc schools. california's flagging economy took a hit when 125 people lost their jobs in concord. tickets .com will close its customer service and call center in concord. software produced by a texas firm will replace the people who worked for tickets .com. meantime, a bipartisan group of california lawmakers will head to texas on their own time next week. they want to learn mow about how the loan star state added 1 fest jobs between 2008 and

2010. california lost more than a million jobs during the same time period. >> if we don't get in the game and we don't realize the golden goose is in california, we will have to layoff thousands of teach everies -- teachers and law enforcement. >> but they say much of the job gains in texas are a result of more americans moving south and not companies relocating there. the jury hearing the barry bonds perjury trial could begin deliberating as early as tomorrow. the defense rested without calling the homerun king or other witnesses to the stand. bonds is on trial for telling a 2003 grand jury he never knowingly used anna bowl lick steroids. analysts say even if we -- he were convicted he would face no more than house arrest. it could have a huge impact on bonds' legacy. >> he will be on the ballot for the hall of fame. there is nothing if you are convicted of a felony, i don't think there is anything that would preclude him being listed as a hall of fame candidate. the question becomes how does

a possible conviction affect who voters would do? there is a character clause. >> prosecutors expect their closing arguments to take no more than 90 minutes. the defense is only promising to keep theirs to only under three hours. a motorcycle rider collided with a coca-cola truck. 2 happened on redwood road in castro valley. it is unclear what lead to the accident, but sheriff were investigating the motorcycle rider. the truck driver was not injured and was not cited. police arrested a driver after a high speed chase sent five people to the hospital in the east bay. hercules police tried to stop this black ford taurus around 3:20 this afternoon. officers suspected it the car in the burglary of a right aide store. the chase went into pinole. the suspect struck two vehicles before hitting a pinole police car with this result. a navy fighter jet crashed in central california killing its pilot and a crew member.
