The state department issued a statement saying, we reiterate our call that warren winestein be released and reunited with his family, particularly this Holiday Season, another one away from his family, our hopes and prayers are with him and those that miss him. A Los Angeles Police officer on his way to work became a hero, he says he was just doing his job when he rescued a man from a burning car but as as he says it was unbelievable. Hard to tell that is a car, hard to tell that on the highway in los angeles, hard to believe that man survived. It is hard to believe, another few seconds there would have been too much fire. Seconds after the car burst into flames after marking into the center divider. I reached in there and fumbled a bit more and thinking as i found that button and popped the belt and grabbed him and pulled him out. Adding to the miracle, don thompson a 26 year veteran of the lapd bomb squad happened to be driving to work, his shift started early, diving into the flames to pull the driver to safety. I was singed, hair here and on the side. Thompson did have help, sometimes they need company, a los angeles firefighter was driving by making assessment immediately. I was driving by and made it immediate because he happened to be the commander of the center and called them directly to do so. He was called a hero. It makes me feel good to know i saved a life.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. A brush fire in Southern California came dangerously close to a highway. The fire started late yesterday in simi valley near the 118 freeway, while it only burned 18 acres you can see the intensity of the fire spread by gusty winds and firefighters used the resources to make sure it didnt get out of hand. Thousands still dont have power in those areas after that storm and it could be a long time before power is restored. Officials put the number at 100,000 in areas and more in michigan. The Power Outages have led to rescues and deaths as people tried to find other ways to stay swarm. My dad used the barbecue charcoal in the house and there was a lot of carbon monoxide. More ice and snow is making it hard for crews to restore the electricity quickly. Well here at home for the 5th day in a row near record warmth. Lets start out with a look outside our doors and what is happening out there, again it is a spare the air day, the winds are light and our temperatures are beginning to turn around, lets take a look at some of those records we may get close to or perhaps even beat at the napa airport the standing record 61, napa expected to warm to 68 this afternoon, concord may tie or or break a record at 66, oakland not today but yesterday they did, hayward you may break a record if you get to 60, san jose not today but yesterday you broke a record. Now you will notice an increase in clouds overhead associated with that system, unfortunately it will not bring us rain but will bring us temperatures falling a little bit and hopefully mix up clouds enough to improve the air quality some but the models do not bring us rain through the end of september so still on track for be one of the if not the lowest on record. Now there is a beach hazard warning for there, it was here with us yesterday and will be with us tomorrow but large currents sort of creating those sneak up on you so be aware of that. Temperaturewise 60 degrees for san jose right now for inland areas temperatures to upper 50 to near 60, fran frafn right now reporting 50 degrees, in and around the bay temperatures warming to about 60 as well so for the second half that is what you can expect, 67 berkeley, 65 san rafael, 65 navato, upper 60s napa, mid60s you in antioch, 64 fairfield, sliding to the south here just a bit in the santa clara, 65 mountain view, 71 morgan hill and 69 for you there as we mentioned a moment ago, los gatos you are looking at 69 as well and santa cruz 64.
