starting to show a little break. Tap back over to you, Laura. All right. Thank you very much. We do have some breaking news. We're following overnight. One person dead, another hurt after a mobile home caught fire in the East Bay today in the Bob Redell joins us live from the scene. He's in Pleasanton this morning. Do you know anything more about how it started or what happened? Bob we don't know exactly how it started, but we got more information on what transpired after this fire started behind me. I just spoke with a battalion chief with the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department. He tells us that his firefighter did try to save the elderly man who lived in this single story, double wide mobile home with his wife. But the fire flashed over and the captain who was inside trying to reach that man, had to get out of the structure for his own safety. The fire started just before midnight. This home here in the hacienda mobile home park. This is on Vineyard Avenue in Pleasanton. When fire fighters arrived again just before midnight, the home was already fully involved. The wife who lived here got out on her own. As you can imagine, she was very upset about the fact that her husband was still inside. The BBC tells us that she actually wanted to go back inside to try to save him, but they had to stop her from doing that, which again, the fire department did go inside and they did try to save him. We made an aggressive attack. We could see that there was a the smoke was hot. It was filling up the building, but we risk a lot to save a lot, and the first thing, captain, as soon as he came in, felt a lot of heat through his turnouts and his protective equipment, but he decided to continue to make that push in as far as he could until the conditions deteriorated on him. And then removed his crew to safety. And, we took the actions that we had to take for, for, for our own safety and the crew safety. Again, that man who was trapped inside an elderly man, sadly did not make it. His wife was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department is still on the scene. You can hear the engine right next to me. They're waiting for the sunlight so they can have the coroner come out and remove the man killed in this fire. And also, they want to get their investigator inside this home to try to figure out
