safe to drink water. if they are gonna cook they need to boil it. milpitas school is in the neighborhood and there's warnings to students and staff. the problem was discovered when crews were replacing a pipeline and took samples and found the contamination. san jose water officials say after further testing, they've determined the water is only contaminated at 50 homes on sidney drive and sidney court. we spoke with a man who lives on that road this morning. >> i knew they were tearing unstreet and they probably made a -- up the street and they probably made a mistake. at least they are giving you free water. i would expect some type of rebate on my bill at least. >> reporter: san jose water is providing free bottled water at fire station 19 located at sierra and piedmont road. a spokesman said the ban to drink water is still in effect for all 300 homes and the school because only the state

water resources control board can lift the ban. it won't do that until all samples from the area come back clear. san jose water says the contamination like this is a rare occurrence and crews will continue to flush the water main until the problem is fixed. we've been told that crews are supposed to show up at about 8:00 a.m. to continue fixing this problem p.m. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, janine. we want to take you back now to the breaking news we've reported at the top of this newscast. a massive pallet fire continues to rage out of control in gilroy. moments ago, brian flores arrived at ferguson and cruz roads east of highway 101. brian, what can you tell us about the fire? >> reporter: hi, tori. good morning. crews continue to battle the fire. we saw the smoke as we were coming down here. it's east 101 near the premium outlets. as you can see, several fire

a woman said her daughter saw one outside of their home in santa teresa. >> we a big window. the window was open. she was afraid for her life. she hid until it passed. >> wildlife officials want to educate people about what to do if they see a mountain lion. the best thing make yourself look as big as you can. if you have a sweatshirtor jacket, hold it over your head. make a lot of noise. and that will hopefully scare it away. that's kind of anti-intuitive. you just want to run. >> i don't doubt them but okay, that's a mountain lion. there is a new effort to build new stadiums for the raiders and the as. coming up in 23 minutes, the investors who is talking about financing that $2 billion project. positive vibes are heading back to kansas city this morning as the giants prepare for game 2. after the break, some of the superstitions fans

they've gotten things incorrect in the ballot itself. that's even more serious. >> reporter: election officials here are blaming this mistake on a printer that's used by many large counties across california to print election materials. it's important to point out that all of the other materials mailed to voters including the ballots themselves do have the correct election date printed them. election officials are grad they caught this error early on because it gives them to straighten it out. the message to people in berkeley who vote by mail, mail that ballot, so it arrives by tuesday, november 4th. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. very interesting. thank you. a new associated press poll came out of likely voters released two weeks before the november election. it found that 55% of likely voters now expect republicans to win control of the senate even though seven out of ten say they are not happy with republican leaders in congress.

several fire crews remain. some have been allowed to leave. but it's still unclear what started the fire. but the fire crews will be here for the next couple of hours put out hot spots. i want to go to video from newschopper2. this is from above. you can see how large this fire was. a three-alarm response. started around 4:00 a.m. on a pallet yard and ranch. the 2100 block of ferguson. as a result, the fire has closed off ferguson road from highway 152 to dunlap. that remains closed. still, highway 152 is the alternate. there was challenges. the battalion chief we spoke to from calfire says water source or finding water here is already a struggle which is why they this -- had to have a heavy response. >> we have no water. we had a tremendous amount of fire. the fire was 200, 300 feet in the air. and one tank of water can't do

it. so our fire engines and our water trucks had to roll into gilroy, fill off their fire hydrants and return here to try to slow the fire spread. >> reporter: still unclear what started this fire but investigators are here. there was a barn nearby that originally thought to have suffered severe damage. but we understand from firefighters that about a fifth of the barn was damaged. fire officials estimate that also about 10 to 20 families who lived on this property, this agricultural property they were evacuated. they are doing okay. no injuries reported as well. crews say right now the game plan, least for the next couple of hours, is to basically let the fire burn out. they won't be pouring any more water on it. they will be here for the next several hours looking for hot spots. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. still ahead, there is a new smoking ban here in the bay area. coming up at 8:40, the county

8:14. an update to the developing news in canada we first reported 20 minutes ago. reports from ottawa say an unknown gunman with a hunting rifle opened fire at a war memorial early this morning. a soldier standing guard was wounded in the attack. canada police were warning people in ottawa to stay away from windows, roofs and -- after the parliament shooting but several reports say the gunman has been shot and killed inside the parliament building. this comes two days after two canadian soldiers were run over and one was killed in quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies. with halloween right around the corper, officials are trying to ease fears about mountain lions in the south bay. fish and wildlife held a meeting last night in south san jose to address concerns over

the sightings. one person said there's surveillance video that caught a puma pouncing on their car. another woman said her daughter spotted one outside their home in santa teresa. officials say if you see a mountain lion make yug self as big as possible and make a lot -- make yourself as big as possible and make a lot of noise. residents are being told not to drink or cook with the water in your house because of e. coli contamination in one neighborhood. janine de la vega joins us live to tell us how the water department plans to fix this problem. good morning, janine. >> reporter: good morning dave. we are here at milpitas christian school in san jose near the border. students are starting to arrive. the principal told us that the san jose water company told them as a precaution, they shouldn't drink the water. they've been e-mailing parents about this and bottled water has been brought in. here is the area affected. it is in north san jose close

to the milpitas border as i mentioned. the san jose water company handed out notices to 300 homes in the area near piedmont and landisroad. they can take showers and wash their hands but the residents have been advised it's not safe to drink the water. if they are gonna cook, they need to bile it. the problem was discovered when crews were replacing a pipeline and took samples attarria you and found the -- in the area and found contamination. they dermed the water is only -- determined the water is only connated at 50 -- contaminated at 50 homes. but as a precaution, the school has signs posted around the campus and in the bathrooms warnings students and staff. the water has been shut off to the school's drinking fountains as well. >> we also went and purchased a lot of the hand sanitizer to make parents an children feel

more comfortable with that but the bottled water situation is taking care of all of our needs. >> san jose water is providing free bottled water at fire station 19 at sierra and piedmont road. a spokesman says the ban to drink water is still in effect for all 300 homes and the school because only the state water resources control board can lift the ban. and it won't do that until all samples from the area come back clear. san jose water says contamination like this is a rare occurrence and crews are gonna be out here. they arrived a short time ago. i think we see them down the street. what they are gonna be doing is flushing out the water main and, again, taking samples until the results come back clear. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. that's a unique way to start a new way. thank you. let's check in with sal and traffic. i know you are about to look at the toll plaza. but i know on friday, the toll plaza will be cray with people

the move right out. i don't expect that to happen up north but it could happen for us late friday, saturday. livermore 49. 48, houston. 40s for mown sacramento is at 4. redding at 49. there is a lot here. it's just a question of how far south can we get it. it looks looks like the cloud cover will thicken up. .01. .02. you go up to cue yayia, .23 and then 2 plus as you head up to eureka, crescent city. here is the deal, the cloud cover will continue to move in. watch out that line dips south. watch what happens. that's because the system will be developing out ahead of that, which tells me we'll get a howling southeast wind and

game 3 will be windy and warm or breezy and warm. i think 74 degrees at game time. i think the rain will hold off until late. mostly sunny. i think a lot of that moisture will get sucked out of it. 60s and 70s. a couple of days to fine tune that. first pitch about 70 degrees. a lot of clouds, not much rain. it will get warm into friday and then much cooler if there's rain. it will be early saturday and then out of the picture but it will be cooler. >> okay, steve. thank you. 8:22. target is preparing for a more successful holiday shopping season than it had last year. millions of customers had credit or debit card information stolen at the peak of the season. target is offering free shipping now for all online orders from now until december 20th which is the last day for receiving orders by dmas and starting november -- christmas and starting in november,

count. >> reporter: and election officials are blaming this mistake on a printer used by many large counties across the state, including alameda. all of the other materials that have been mailed to voters here in berkeley, including the ballots themselves do have the correct election date printed on them. of course, the message for people here in berkeley who vote by mail, make sure that ballot will arrive by the end of the day on tuesday, november 4th. election day. we're live in berkeley, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> it will be interesting to see how this turns out. a new associated press poll found 55% of likely voters now expect republicans to win control of the u.s. senate in the november election. even though 7 out of 10 say they are not happy with republican leaders in congress. the economy is the top issue along with healthcare and terrorism. well, the latest autopsy on michael brown may side with the
