We found in the dumpster. Well its disturbing. Obviously. You know, i would assume those kinds of things would be shredded. The documents contained all the information an identity thief would need.

When we stopped by his office to ask about the discovery he told us he wasnt aware the returns needed to be shredded. Wouldnt it make sense since all of these documents have Social Security numbers that you would need to protect that information. I this is a recycle. I would assumed they would take it and burn it map maybe not. I should have shouldnt have done it. Im sorry. A if you few hours after we started digging robinson who is retiring came out and put a loek on the recycling dumpster. Toimt, one of his clients was so concerned about the documents we found that he took matters into his own hands calling out a company to pi
There when really there were 11 . Court staff was sufficiently staffed during the incident. There was definitely more delays than there was 10 years ago. Reporter public defender gary goodman who has worked inside the palo alto courthouse for years says there are signs of deputy staffing issues, delays on a weekly basis to get inmates up to the courtroom. Then you can hear over the radio that it appears theyre scrambling to get enough security to bring the defendant up to the courthouse. So theres a cascading effect to that. Reporter johnson admits it does take longer to get inmates to the courtroom in palo alto because there is not an elevator but insists the courthouse is sufficiently staffed. The sheriff did not go on camera today but did say this after the escape. I believe that the court is very, very happy with the level of service that we provide. Reporter now i also want to note the public defender we spoke to is the attorney for one of the escapees. I want to make it clear. He
Corps aircraft are expected to join other air tankers in attacking the flames today. California air National Guardsmen from the 129th rescue wing are being deployed to southern california. About 25 will join in the areas impacted by the thomas fire. Its 4 31 right now. Back to meteorologist mike nicco. Mike, theres an inversion layer here. Can you explain how that works . An inversion layer is when the cold air sinks down at night and the warm air sits on top of it. Thats a very stable atmosphere, warm air rises, cold air sinks down. It puts a lid on the atmosphere and wont let any of the fine particulate matter or pollution mix out because the air is not rising. When we go back to yesterday and look at the satellite you can see all that smoke getting trapped by those winds out of the south and pushing it up into our neighborhoods. Its the north bay, san rafael could have the worst air quality. Today, tomorrow and sunday could have poor air quality. We have the correct drive time now.
Temporarily close all lanes. Thats recovering now. Still not a bad drive as we zoom out. A few stretches and once you get to the east shore freeway to berkeley things do pick up. Improvement.

This is the 115,000acre thomas fire burning in ventura and Santa Barbara counties. That fire just 5 contained. Flames crackled off highway 101 in Santa Barbara county. Ash fell from the sky blanketing streets and cars. It prompted some homeowners to douse their homes with water in case embers started to fall. Its scary, emotion al and i all surreal. When it happens it gets into the emotional state where youre thinking this could be the last time you see everything that you have. Firefighters had their hands full with the lilac fire, burned 4,100 acres, zero percent containment. The fires may be far to our south bu
To save a wild jack rabbit. Yeah. It is heart breaking and interesting to watch. This is the scene along a highway in Ventura County. He sees a wild rabbit dart into the flames. You see the panic in his body language. He is able to coax the rabbit out and tuck its into his hoodie and i assume brings it to safety. This is a small act of compassion caught on camera by a news photographer. It has gone viral because in situations where there is travesty and devastation, people hold on any small kind act. It is gripping when you watch it. Right. I found myself watching it three, four, five times. It is amazing how much he wanted to save that animal. When he jumps up and puts his hands in his hair. He is at a loss of what to do. Then he stays and takes the little guy to safety. It reminded me of one small act of kindness that happened during the north bay wildfires. One of our reporters did a story on a family that had lost their home. The mom said i just need a play pen for my little boy. I
