going after passengers who sneak on to its trains without paying. jackie ward joins us live from san francisco to explain. >> reporter: it's something that we see all the time. people jumping over the entrance gate not wanting to pay the fare. but maybe soon we'll start to see less of this because of a couple of big decisions the board of directors made at a meeting last night. they voted unanimously on two ordinances to crack down on this from happening. six police officers will be hired starting in january to board bart trains and ask every rider for proof of purchase. if you can't provide one, you will be fined $75 the first time and minors will be charged $55. three strikes will lead to a criminal charge. low income fare evaders will have the option of community service. >> it's not about catching every person who evades the fares. it's about reducing it and sending the message that the free ride is over. >> reporter: 75% of bart's operating costs come from people who follow the rules and pay the full fare. officials anticipate these

ordinances will bring back an estimated $11 million each year. this is a costly problem costing them $25 million a year. jackie ward, kpix 5. new this morning, an investigation is under way after flames tore through a san jose kfc. this two-alarm fire started about 4:30 a.m. on croply avenue. it started in the dining area which crews say is unusual for a restaurant fire. he cause is under investigation. firefighters say there were reports of someone throwing something through the window. no injuries have been reported so far. and the damage to the building is extensive. now to the wine country wildfires. today firefighters expect full containment. this comes as we get a detailed look at just how long it will take to clean up. right now federal and state

crews are looking for hazardous waste in the fire zone. first getting rid of obvious threats such as propane, gas tanks, asbestos, pesticides. the process to give the site the "all clear" will take a lot longer. from start to finish, the soonest a parcel will be cleared is 30 days. five democratic members of congress have signed a letter that asks fema to clarify its immigration policies regarding federal aid for those affected by the california wildfires. the letter reads in part, we have heard from constituents who are eligible for aid u.s. citizens, noncitizens, nationals and qualified aliens that are concerned that applying for fema assistance might expose their family members or neighbors to immigration enforcement. today more than a dozen schools in santa rosa are set to re-open after a thorough clean-up following the deadly wildfires. kpix 5's jessica flores reports from santa rosa. reporter: we are in front of james monroe elementary school. this is one of 13 schools re- opening today and an additional 11 schools will re-open on monday.

at this school some teachers and students lost their homes in the fire. across the santa rosa city school district they have had to clean classrooms preparing them as students return. a lot of the classrooms were filled with smoke and soot and ash considered toxic. so over the last week the district sent 200 workers to clean campuses and replace over 3,000 air-conditioning filters at 24 school sites. the superintendent says about 80 staff members lost homes in the fire and about 900 students have addresses listed in the burn zone. but it's unclear exactly how many students have been displaced. >> all families who have been displaced by the fires are eligible for school meals. no questions asked. whether they were in a shelter, whether they were staying with friends, whether they are staying with family, whether they were staying in their car.

>> reporter: in addition to free meals the district is having mental health services at every campus. >> reporter: again, mental health services will be on campuses throughout the santa rosa city school district. counselors and social workers are even coming from other cities like san francisco and the district also says that anybody who has been displaced will receive free meals for the rest of the school year. now, we did put a list on our website, cbssf.com, for all the schools that are re-opening today as well as the schools that are re-opening on monday. and you can find that under "links & numbers." live in santa rosa, jessica flores, kpix 5. just days after a san ramon third-grader brought a loaded gun to his school, the alameda county d.a. is lending her support to a new firearms storage campaign. here's a look at one of the images featuring children who have gotten a hold of unsecured guns. the pictures are set to go up on highly visible billboards as well as bus shelters. meanwhile, the father of that san ramon 8-year-old who brought a firearm to class is now facing several charges. the incident happened at twin creeks elementary school on

using isolation as punishment and an inmate who was beaten to death by guards. so inmates had planned a hunger strike and canceled it but after smith's comments, many inmates began leaving unopened food items untouched saying they hoped those items would go to the food bank. back to sheriff smith's -- according to the group prisoners ee united united, the strike ends today. anne makovec, kpix 5. president trump declared the opioid epidemic as a public health emergency. >> we owe it to our children and to our country [ pause ] >> financing comes from the public health emergency fund which has a balance of just over $56,000. the federal government
