and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. All right. Do you have photos or videos that might prove helpful tonight? Fire investigators are asking for your help to figure out the cause of last week's massive fire in Redwood City. They're hoping that you may have caught something on camera that could be a clue. Flames destroyed most of that housing project that was under construction. The question is why? NBC Bay Area's Jocelyn Moran joins me now in the studio with what we know. Yeah, Jess, they are asking for photos, videos the public may have from last Monday. They say having those can help them determine the cause of it.
