Concerned homeowners in one Southern California community have taken matters into their own hands when it comes to fighting wildfires. Residents of Bell Canyon, which was heavily impacted by the 2018 Woolsey Fire, felt that they could have done more to assist thinly stretched fire crews with preventing houses from burning down. “We watched fire creep up to a house, catch it on fire and burn the whole thing down with nobody there to do anything,” said Larry Little, who works with the Bell Canyon Volunteer Wildland Fire Department. “Those of us who had sort of fought it with garden hoses and the limited resources we had looked around and went ‘What else can we do?’”  Gen Z far more likely to fall for online scams than seniors, Google expert says To answer that question, they founded the Bell Canyon Volunteer Wildland Fire Department, which is not a substitute for 911; their primary mission is to protect residents and property while supporting local fire agencies. The department is a...

Review: Five Nights at Freddy’s

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:52 GMT

Director Emma Tammi has done the unexpected. She made a tasty meal out of pre-packaged pizza dough when most folks were expecting Chuck E. Cheese-level quality. Five Nights at Freddy’s is a movie better than anyone could expect from a point-and-click video game dependent on jumpscares, plushy animal robots, and a music box version of the “Toreador Song” from Carmen. But, by George, they did it. They made a family-friendly horror film out of Freddy’s.Based on the video game franchise with a simple premise and a surprisingly layered backstory, the goal of Five Nights at Freddy’s is straightforward enough: stay alive. As a nightshift security guard, you have the unpleasant job of guarding Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, a former family fun-time restaurant that has gone by the wayside thanks to a few unpleasant events caused by wayward animatronics. However, your task is not as easy as it sounds. To keep from decaying, the animatronics roam freely at night, and ...

49ers’ Brock Purdy practicing again Friday, availability uncertain for Sunday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:52 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy is responding well enough to practice Friday for a second consecutive day, but that does not guarantee he’ll be medically cleared from the NFL’s concussion protocol to play in the 49ers’ home game Sunday against the Bengals.In 2012, for example, Alex Smith practiced throughout the week after a concussion forced him from a 49ers’ home game with the Rams. Doctors subsequently did not clear him for the following Monday night game against the Chicago Bears,resulting in Colin Kaepernick’s first career start. “I tried to push it and went out and practiced and, you know, it just wasn’t right,” Smith said in November 2012 of his post-concussion symptoms.Purdy, because he remains in the protocol, is prohibited from speaking with reporters. Sam Darnold, his understudy, is to address the media after practice, which did not include left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) or receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder).Purdy played throughout Monday night’s 22-17 loss at Minnesota...

By Jennifer Peltz | Associated PressNEW YORK — Donald Trump is set to testify Nov. 6 at his New York civil fraud trial, following his three eldest children to the witness stand in a case that threatens to disrupt their family’s real estate empire, state lawyers said Friday.It was already expected that the former president and sons Donald Jr. and Eric would testify. The timing became clear Friday, after Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that daughter Ivanka Trump also must appear, rejecting her bid to avoid testifying.The schedule sets up a blockbuster stretch in the trial of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit. She alleges that the former president, now the Republican front-runner for 2024, overstated his wealth for years on financial statements that were given to banks, insurers and others to help secure loans and deals.Trump denies any wrongdoing and has called the trial a politically motivated sham. The case could strip Trump of some of his corporate holdings an...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:52 GMT

For the fifth consecutive year, California officials are delaying the Bay Area’s commercial Dungeness crab season to decrease the chances of migrating whales currently off the coast getting ensnarled by the crab-pot fishing lines.The season was scheduled to start Nov. 15 in the waters from the Sonoma/Mendocino County line south to the Mexican border.The order came down Friday afternoon from Charlton H. Bonham, director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.Although another assessment will take place on or around Nov. 17, an opening date in time for California residents to enjoy Dungeness for the Nov. 23 Thanksgiving holiday is unlikely.The recreational Dungeness season will be allowed to start as scheduled on Nov. 4 – but with restrictions. Crabbers may not use trap gear, according to the state order; only hoop nets and crab snares will be allowed until further assessment.This is a developing story; come back for updates.
