trying to get power restored to the last area that doesn' ho but we can teat this point is 60% it's burned 247 acres. and cal fire has the fire surrounded so it's only burning inside the perimeter at this point. and of the 100 structures that are threatened, roughly two dozen of those are homes, the rest sheds or barns. >> the property all around the house is burnt. >> reporter: david and kit are surveying the damage around their home. >> you know it's just kind of taking inventory of what's damaged, um, how do we make it livable. >> reporter: their house's infrastructure is damaged. it's covered in pink fire retardant and a toyota we have a pink passenger seat. i hate to say it, the car stinks. >> reporter: the is thankful everyone made it out okay including their cat, joe- 2. >> he is just the best cat. that's what we were mainly concerned about was getting him. >> reporter: with roughly 50

firefighters in the area, no one has seen him until the family returned home wednesday night. >> we walked in the backyard and gave a call and he came out of nowhere, jumped up into my arms, and was very sheepish around all the other people. and was very happen to see us. >> reporter: cal fire has the upper hand but evacuation orders are still in place. >> we are working in the interior. some of the burned material rolls out and ignites around the home. that's our concern. >> reporter: officials believe the fire originated at the marsh creek detention facility and marsh creek road. the cause is under investigation. firefighters keep working to protect anything they can. >> if it wasn't for them, the house wouldn't be here. huge thanks and appreciation to them. reporter: the marsh fire bushed one home yesterday and three outbuildings at least. cal fire says they are working to get those containment numbers up. they anticipate it will go up tonight and possibly have full

containment by tomorrow night. frank, julie? >> christina, you say that the fire right now is 60% contained. how many homes are still threatened and just wondering, we can't see any flames behind you. how far is the fire from where you are? >> reporter: so, i would say it's behind us in the hills off to our left. so you can't see the fire because it's burning in really steep terrain. and it's inside really the entire perimeter that cal fire has set up. as we said earlier, of the 100 structures that are threatened, only 2 dozen of those are actual homes that people live in. the rest are things like outbuildings, sheds and barns. but people are still being evacuated. i don't anticipate any other structures burning down. cal fire says they have a good handle on it, just working on hot spots and trying to get the fire that's burning in that flames today because it's in such steep terrain. >> are there still air attacks? yesterday we heard the 747 dropped 20,000 of fire retardant on the fire, just a

huge plane. are there still planes and helicopters fighting this fire? >> reporter: actually, there aren't. yesterday there was an air attack. today they got a good handle on it it and there was no air attack needed whatsoever. so really what we have seen today are the ground crews. we have fire trucks, water tender trucks out here, fire crews looking over hot spots. but everything is being done on the ground level at this point. no air attacks today. >> all right, cristina rendon near clayton tonight. cristina, thank you. this is what losing almost 20% of your market value in one day looks like. that graph shows facebook stock dropping off a cliff this morning. the cause, a prediction that the company's revenue growth will continue to slide. that stock collapse wiped out $119 billion in market value. one of the worst single day losses in market history. the drop personally cost mark zuckerberg more than $15 billion. ktvu's tom vacar talked to people who have been following the high-tech industry for years and tom has more from

side, facebook's growth raises another red flag. >> its growth is slowing down. its income is possibly going to slow down. and their expenses have gone up. so they are worried about a revenue hit. >> reporter: magid says many observers worry that way too many users are spending too much time on facebook to the detriment of their personal lives, careers and families. and so many are reassessing their own use as well as tiring of all the online rancor, rudeness and politicization of the platform. but there's more to facebook than facebook. >> the company still is profitable. it is still growing ever so slightly. and it still has secret sauce in "whatsapp" and instagram successful products attracting young people globally. >> reporter: dean says at this new low price he expects cooler heads to be looking for a bargain. >> and take a second look at this $120 billion loss and seso be made there.

suspect. >> reporter: on monday, ktvu used several photos of wilson, one of the photos painted her in a negative light. it only aired once at noon and ktvu apologized. but the damage was already done. protestors feel the image is an effort by mainstream media to disparage african- americans. >> when we're hurting, when we're being victimized, for us to be painted in that image is an obvious disrespect. it's a slap in the face not only to the family, but to millions of girls. >> reporter: a bay area rapper spoke on their behalf outside ktvu studios and issued a list of demands. >> for someone to come out and be accountable for the displacement and the defamation of character. and we wish to impose agendas and policies that is a reflection of the community. >> reporter: the protest was peaceful and hosted by oakland artists who were able to air their grievances and then leave. in the newsroom, i'm paul

gloves and whatever out in the edgemar district of pacifica and daly city. it will be a couple of days with constant fog as it has been this week, which has saved us from those heat advisories. there's the heat advisory up there. you can see the sea breeze, where, just pushes in. the green colors represent temperatures in the 60s and even 50s in some cases like half moon bay. then you see the heat getting shunted out to the east. there's problems on the western grid because you have tucson, phoenix, l.a., everybody sweltering, big numbers. but in the bay, because of our natural air-conditioning, we are getting a break. we're fortunate, too, because if we didn't have this, we would be feeling this heat in places like oakland and san francisco and not wired for air-conditioning, not typically. some people are but not a lot of air-conditioning in oakland and san francisco. so heat advisories more signifi but it's not happening because

we have a nice sea breeze. so tomorrow, more of the same. there's the sea breeze 18-mile- an-hour winds up in san rafael. sfo gusting to 30. that's a good sign, too, for cooling. so as we head into tomorrow, kind of cool, what do we have now? that's obviously san francisco. which camera is that? 101? yes, i guess it is. you can see what is it, frank? i know. what is it again? 555 california. if you have friends in the city they are wearing jackets and hustling to get on bart where they go through the tunnel and it's going 100- something degrees in antioch. when i talk back we'll have the weekend forecast. thank you. are you ready for some football? coming up in a moment, we'll take you to the 9ers' training camp. >> and coming up at 6:00, a fou in walnut creek. the concerns about where that trap came from and how it's being used.

we have some breaking news we want to tell you about right now in san jose. what you're looking at are live pictures from skyfox. this is 101, the southbound lane, in san jose near 880.

what you can see here is that there was a van on the left and a car on the right. they got into an accident. the car flipped over. the van caught fire. we don't know if there are any injuries. but as we pan out, you will see that only one lane of southbound 101 near 880 is open right now. and as we pan over, you will see the traffic backup as a result of this. it's immense. judging from the pictures, it looks like it's going to take them a little while to get that scene cleared up. so again, this is happening on southbound 101 near 880, an accident involving a van and a car. the car overturned, the van caught fire. we are working to get more information particularly whether or not anyone was hurt. we just don't know that right now. but the bottom line is, that there is a big traffic backup on 101 right now with only one lane open because of the accident that you're looking

at right here. muni riders say they may be seeing longer waits and more crowded because because of an overall system slowdown. ktvu's christien kafton tells us that muni is saying a lot of factors have come together to create a slowdown and has a look now at the conditions that commuters are facing. >> reporter: buses crisscross san francisco at all times of the day and night carrying out nearly 3/4 million rides a day. some passengers notice the buses are coming slower and when they do come, they're packed. >> it's been more crowded and takes longer to come. >> reporter: muni says a unique series of factors have come together to create a shortage of bus drivers. for one, they are integrating new buses and light rail vehicles and technology taking drivers out to service to train them. at the same time, the agency is working on a two-month project upgrading the twin peaks tunnel. that means the trains that usually ferry passengers on that route are out of the mix and bus drivers have been pulled from lines throughout the system to operate the bus

bridge. that means ripple effects on major commute lines throughout san francisco. >> it could mean for some of our heaviest routes you might have to wait longer. there might be a pass-up because a bus is too full. we are going to try to minimize the impact as best we can. >> reporter: the bus drivers union leadership says the slowdown is a result of too few drivers. they would like to see more operators in the system and see that those operators are compensated to attract and retain the best and brightest. sfmta says it's working on training drivers as quickly as possible. >> we're looking to -- for any other option, all options, to get this resolved as soon as possible. >> reporter: riders who noticed the slowdowns say they hope to see relief soon. >> i have been riding muni for 20, 30 years now. and it used etr. now it's getting a little bit worse. but hopefully once the tunnel construction is completed, it will be a lot better. >> reporter: for now the sfmta is encouraging riders to follow their social media account to get the latest information about backups and

delays. in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. close to 40,000 pounds of sunflower seeds spilled on a west oakland freeway earlier today. about 11:15 a.m. a big rig carrying the sunflower seeds toppled over on the west grand avenue on- ramp and then lost its load. the chp says the on-ramp was blocked for hours this afternoon as crews cleaned it up. no one was injured. and no other vehicles were involved. he cause is under investigation. but the chp says speed may have been a factor. authorities didn't say where it was headed when the crash happened. a crash earlier today in san rafael left this truck dangling off of highway 101! the truck and a car collided about 9:30 this morning in the southbound lane. one person in the car was injured. the chp closed the highway in the area for about an hour and needless to say, traffic backed up for miles. debris from the truck damaged two cars parked below. the truck was eventually towed

from the scene. and the freeway was reopened. mountain view police arrested a 31-year-old woman today wanted for trying to kidnap a toddler. investigators say the woman was wearing a mask yesterday when she approached a woman, her daughter and grandchild at fairmont avenue. the suspect reached for the child, prompting a grandmother to try to stop her. police say that's when gomez hit the grandmother and threatened the child's mother before driving away. investigators say detailed descriptions from the two women led them to gomez early this morning at a shell gas station. she was arrested on charges including attempted kidnapping and battery. the chp has made an arrest in connection with a deadly hit-and-run crash in the east bay. the crash killed a bike rider tuesday night in crockett. since then, the family of 42- year-old christopher booneg has been asking for the public's help in tracking down the driver. when investigators got the tip that led them to the suspect,

they say it wasn't what they expected. >> we got information about the driver and suspect vehicle which was not a blue pickup truck. it ended up being a red mini cooper. >> they said 28-year-old kiely dirksen is arrested in connection with the hit-and- run. another mural in san francisco's mission district has been vandalized. apparent gang graffiti has been sprayed onto a depiction of cesar chavez. this is the third mural to be defaced in the city in just the past few weeks. ktvu's rob roth spoke with one of the artists and residents who say they are frustrated by what's happening. reporter: for more than 20 years this mural featuring cesar chavez and others has been part of the landscape on york street and 24th in the mission. but sometime tuesday night, it appears street gang members defaced it. >> my first reaction is anger because art is there for everybody.

>> reporter: carlos gonzales was the main artist for the mural. he also spent many years as a juvenile probation officer working to get young people away from gangs. the mural was meant to show people who made a difference in their communities. >> a mirror on the community as well as a spotlight for revolutionary heroes. kind of like inspiring the people that see it. >> reporter: gonzales says the eagle in the mural is the symbol of the united farm workers but it has been adopted by a street gang making a rival gang angry. >> many of the kids in the gang culture that are on the opposite side tend to see red literally when they see that and they cross it out. >> reporter: but especially disturbing to many in the mission is that this is the third mural in the neighborhood that's been defaced this month. about two weeks ago, vandals got to a mural of santana, and then they struck a gentrification mural.

they think it's racist. this one is gang-related. >> it's disappointing, with cesar chavez, carlos santana, people in the community getting disrespected like this. >> i'm a teacher so this makes me wonder if the kids even know what they're doing. >> reporter: gonzales said he would like to find those responsible for the damage to the chavez mural. >> we need to educate those people on, you know, what the murals really mean, what they stand for. >> reporter: the artist says he and others who worked on the mural will be out here next week to repair it with the hopes that next time, people will leave it alone. in san francisco, rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. investigators say they are combing through large amounts of information from social media sites and other digital sources in the search for a missing student from the university of iowa who has ties to oakland. 20-year-old molly tibbits was last seen about a week ago jogging in brooklyn, iowa. friends and family say she usually wore a fitbit fitness

tracker and investigators are now hoping to use information from that device to hopefully locate her. they are also poring through information they have gathered from social media sites that she used. tibbits grew up in oakland and moved to iowa in elementary school. authorities say as more time passes without finding her, the possibility grows that she was taken against her will. still ahead tonight, new threats of sanctions from president trump. why the president aimed a tweet at turkey today. plus -- >> i was emotional. for sure. i welled up a little bit. >> an emotional reunion and a warning to parents after a lifeguard had to help rescue a boy buried by sand on a beach in santa cruz.
