14th and peraslta this morning. again, this is the aftermath of that explosion. alameda county sheriff's deputies were serving the eviction notice to the tenant in the back unit tomorrow morning, instead of breaking down the door, they drilled out the lock and as they started drilling, an explosion started inside, and that also caused a fire. it blew out the wall where other families were living. >> as soon as i heard the drill hit, i heard an explosion, boom. and so i don't remember actually pushing up, but i remember being on my feet quickly, and i walked to the hallway, turned to the right, and then there was fire right there. >> the explosion also blew out the exterior wall, causing minor injuries to two alameda county sheriff's deputy, those deputies were taken to highland hospital, and the men are expected to be okay. and after firefighters put out the fire, investigators discovered a badly burned body inside of the unit where the eviction notice was being served. they're not sure if that home

was booby trapped or if the explosion was simply an accident, but they're saying it looks like some type of natural gas incident and the authorities haven't said if the victim was the owner being convicted. they told us that the tenant had been there since 2010 and stopped paying rent in may. >> what are investigators saying? is it possible that the victim could have died before the explosion? >> it's absolutely a possibility. investigators can't say right now, if he died before or as a result of tex mroegs. it's certainly something they're looking into. this is an unusual incident. >> thank you. now, to the jerusalem fire shows no signs at all of letting up. it doubled in size overnight to 12,000 acres, these are live pictures from sky fox, you can see the spoke burning from that fire. it's burning very close to the area where the rocky fire broke out late last month. we head now to ktvu's walker who has been in the fire zone, what

can you tell us? >> ken, this is another really big fire, it's been burning in a couple of different directions. take a look behind me, it's been burning to the north, as you said n the direction toward the rocky fire. in the last hour, i can see it has burned farther past the ridge line. to the right side of the screen, it is burping to the southeast, that gives you some indication of how shifting the winds are and how shifting the conditions are within the fire area. the firefighters are on the ground, attacking this in rugged terrain can and thick brush, while the a air attacks continue overhead. wildfires usually sleep at night not this one. overnight, the jerusalem fired doubled in size to 12,000 acres and growing. sending up smoke signals for miles. and signalling potential danger for those fighting the flames below. >> these types of plumes, can also collapse and change the dynamics on the ground. something that is extremely dangerous for firefighters. >>reporter: pictures tell the

story of how quickly this fire moved. these time lapse videos. the camera he had set out to take photos of wildlife, instead, captured its last images of the wildfire, consuming the 180-acre property, and the camera. only the pictures survived. we talked to him monday, as he took refuge with neighbors. >> something else. 40 years and this is the first time it's ever done any damage like that up at the house. >>reporter: the though, the fire has grown, the number of evacuations has not. there are 50 homes in the jerusalem valley that are threatened. the people who live here, on edge. >> we've got really, really lucky. i mean, we have -- we have some high places, you can see i it, 180 degrees, it's been burning. so actually, i'm kind of getting calm, but not yet. i'm ready to go. >>reporter: to the southeast,

with eyes on it, wherever it turns. so sky fox, a live picture from sky fox is giving you a different perspective of the jerusalem fire. 0% containment. that 0% containment is a little deceiving number. it sounds like well, they're not doing anything on the fire, but they have been fighting this since it broke out on sunday afternoon. that containment number is a black line or a wet line around the fire. that's an area like where i'm stajding right now, that the fire could not cross with ease because there's nothing left to burn or they have dug a trench and brought in bulldozers so that it makes it difficult for the fire to cross that line. >> and noel, i saw in the cal fire web page that they predict that had the 17th is when they will have containment of this fire, so that's 6 days away. are you getting a sense, that

they have 0 containment now, they're going to make problem. >>reporter: a lot of this is forecasting the weather, but as we keep saying over and over again, you feel like a broken record, it's been so unpredictable. they can predict within a certain amount of what's going to happen and then just go from there. because a lot of them relying on their experience, doesn't tell them what's going to happen in here because they've never seen it before. >> yeah, and we can see the wind blowing your hair and the smoke drifting behind you. noel walker live on the jerusalem fire. the jerusalem fire is burning less than a mile from the rocky fire, that fire consumed almost 70,000 acres, in just the past week and a half. it's now almost 90% contained. you can see on the map how close the two fires are here, in fact, cal fire officials say the two may actually merge to create one large burn area. and let's check in right now with chief meteorologist bill martin for the latest on the conditions these fire crews are facing tonight. bill. >> yeah, we keep talking about these unprecedented conditions,

i've got to tell you, julie and i were talking here in the break, the weather has been not that bad for firefighters. right, i mean, thef had a -- they've had a pretty good time of it. not that hot, pretty moist. the jerusalem fire is 12,000 acres, it is 7 miles north of middleton. kelseyville, in the fire zone, but look at the humidity, 32% in kels i haveville, that is double what i'd expect it to be this time of the year. so firefighters getting a bit of a break, from the weather. so why is everything going off? why are we seeing so much of a burn area? look at this. 22% in knoxville. why? it's 4 years of drought. this stuff is unprecedented. we've never seen in before, because in our tenure, here, in the state of california, we've never seen four years of drought like this. and then, drop right into a fire season. there's a weather system out there that's going to have some impacts on the bay area, cooldown as it be, i will talk about that, but we are going to heat up again and the fire

dangers are going to come u. imagine we were in a red flag burning area. they are in a host tile environment for fires in august. high humiditys, cool temperatures and the winds are not that out of control. so definitely a cautionary moment. we'll talk about temperatures that are trending the other way. it will be hot and the fire danger will ratchet up. for the very latest on all of the wildfire, burning across california, log on to ktvu.com. we're also posting updating on our facebook and twitter pages. new information is emerging on the accused killer of 8-year-old madyson middleton last month. investigators are looking into whether 15-year-old adrian gonzalez. the person who made that threat reportedly wrote that he had crippling anxiety. gonzalez a parentsly used that same -- apparently use that had

beet about the presentation -- upbeat about the presentation. . >> that was also a big part of our final -- what we call instructural points. one grand stadium, all the bells and whistles and when you have fwo teams going in, you can afford to expand what it is you're building, and the budget all of the things. it becomes enhanced. one grand stadium built by two owners and there will be no landlord-tenant relationship. >> it has been to be actionable. and so what actionable means it can't be an idea. to the extent there's enabling financing activities, or litigation threats or anything like that, anything that needs to be assembled, has to be assembled in a time frame where a club could aths on act on it. and those sort of tests has not been made in oakland. >> what happened today in no way

prides any kind of concrete plan. it signifies that this group is ahead of keeping them oak lajd, they have a location and a plan. >> there has been so much talk on this. when do we know what's going to happen with the raiders? >> whether it's the south land or here, it's still the state of california and what you're not going to get in california is any taxpayer financing on a new stadium. right. >> so they may have a sight and nice picture, but until they come up with a plan that accounts for how this thing is going to get built and wlo is going to pay for it, that is when you start having real spears belief blt in a plan. >> all right. >> but i think it does signify in oakland wants to keep the raiders, the timing is now. >> joe, thank you. sure, by the way, first oakland raiders preseason game is this friday at 7:00 p.m. here on ktvu. new york jets quarterback gina smith was side lieped today after a teammate break his jaw. punched smith in the locker room

a new report show s complaints against airlines are up 20% in the first six months of this year, compared to the

same period last year. ktvu looks at the reasons why more consumers thinks something has to be done. >> you know, how much does an airline ticket cost? with the possible exception of southwest, that remains a mystery of the universe. this time around, the bulk of complaints were about cancellations, delays, and disconnections. the airlines right now, and people find this amazing, have fewer flights flying today in the air, than we had in the year 2000. so there's no excuse for the skies being overcrowded, we need new air traffic controllers and all of this other stuff. >>reporter: airlines say they are down 5.5% over the same period last year. but consumer advocates dispute that. because of so-called ancillary fees. add-ons or rip off, depending on your point of view, for such things as checked bag angs, chance lagss, i tin rare

changes. >> there are 38 billion dollars a year, and it's infuriating both to consumer whos have to pay a lot more than what the ticket price is, and increasingly to the government, because this allows your airlines to escape the 7.5% tax they have to pay on the ticket price. it's absolutely 100% purposeful by the airlines. the airlines do not want you to know how much the total cost of travel will be, because they do not want you to be able to comparison shop. >>reporter: on time performance increased at points to 75% but, that's still means that one in every four flights is late. >> mishandled or lost bagged dipped to 3.5 bags per 1,000 passengers. >> it is a bogus number. as baggage fees go up, we are finding that fewer people check bagged. you think, of course, the lost baggage are going to drop.

>>reporter: bear no resemblance to the service. the difference of the first checked bag at $25 and the third at $150. cannot be justified on the basis of the extra fuel, or labor costs. example, cancellation fees. >> they'll charge hundreds of dollars to cancel the reservation, and then they will sell the same seat to somebody else. >> now, though the, there are fewer airlines flying fewer flights, the airlines maintain that competition best serves the consumer's interest. ktvu fox 2 news. the parents of a north bay toddler are looking for a bone marrow match. an extremely rare genetic disorder that forces them to live in isolation while they wait for a life saving bone marrow transplant. 30 people in the world have the disease. a donation registry drive is set to begin at 5:30 at the farmer's market, if you can't attend that event, there is snfgs on how to
