7:04 am
been on the road? well, turned about an hour and 5 jackson says hearing about cracks in the bridge is concerning. >> but a spokesperson for caltrans wants to reassure drivers the bridge is safe. the richmond center fell bridge 7 years old. it's something that occasionally comes up. that's why we continually inspect the bridge for things like this. just really caught a lot of drivers by surprise. so caltrans says it's important to know before you go. you can call 5, 1, 1, or you can use the caltrans app. >> there you can see real time traffic delays, take alternative routes that way. you don't find yourself in a big traffic jam. i'm sara stinson reporting back boy. but again, it's all better for you this morning. that's good. >> all right. let's go to the east bay where a new report is revealing the factors that led up to that 3 day fire at the martinez refinery earlier this year. and it seems like there's plenty of blame to go around. covers will tran is live in martinez with more. well.
7:05 am
>> one of the blame is about changes to the industry. also just not doing work in a timely manner andastop. if you heard this before, lack of training in many fields and many factors in particular this time, it led to the fire at the refinery. and here's the reason why. back on february 1st, the fire broke out injuring 6 people. thankfully not severely. and also for us, the fire department to tell everybody in nearby neighborhoods stay in your own. it is not safe to go outside and by the time it was over, 4100 gallons pollutants went into the air, according to the refinery. they say most of it burned off or just blew in a different direction from the homes. so they had a 3rd party do the research. what happened? let's learn from this. take a look at your screen. this is what they found out. they believe that the changes in the industry lack of qualified
7:06 am
workers in this case, they were doing maintenance workers before they had people who were experts. that's what they did. they did maintenance work, no problems whatsoever, but they don't happen to that anymore because of changes. now they hire from the union halls which leads into another problem, lack of training, lack of expertise, lack of supervision, which played a role in what happened on february. 1st and permits after you get your permit. you have to start the work. 90 minutes after that in this particular case, they started 115 minutes. that might not be a big deal to the rest of us, but for their industry for their work, that gap was huge and then change the conditions from optimal 2 dangerous, which led to this and they plan to present the report to the local government here as well as to the refinery at 3 o'clock this afternoon. all right. we'll thank you very much. >> fire crews in fairfield not
