LA TIMES REPORT ON ABUSE IN JUVIE PROBATION  LOCK-UPS PROMPTS ACTION&#8212;MAYBE

In the wake of the LA Times report on staff abuse of young inmates within LA County&#8217; juvenile probation facilities, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas called for expansion of the Probation Department&#8217;s internal affairs staff.

While there have been no suspects arrested yet in the deadly Station fire, Wednesday police had a press conference to announce they had a suspect in the recent (and still burning) fire near Yucaipa.  Here&#8217;s what the LA Times said about the arrest:

When I posted a less detailed version of the above story ten days ago, after the news of Hall and Quinones deaths became public, former Mt. Gleason inmates and their family members wrote in to say how much Hall and Quinones mattered to them.
You&#8217;ll find some of those comments excerpted below:

Firefighters are, by definition, heroic.  But in some cases, the heroism is more direct.
We know that Sunday night Los Angeles County Firefighters Arnie Quinones and Ted Hall, both experienced firefighters&#8212;Ted a 26-year veteran of LACFD, Arnie a specialist&#8212;were killed in the course of working on the Station fire.  We think it happened when [...]]]></description>

UPDATE:  5:15 P.M. The word is now, according to LASD&#8217;s Steve Whitmore, that those five people in Gold Canyon who needed rescue, don&#8217;t need to be rescued after all.  According to Whitmore one of the group&#8217;s members has been calling local radio stations and news outlets saying that they&#8217;re fine.  That they [...]]]></description>

View on Saturday at 1:40 p.m. from Topanga Canyon Blvd. looking toward the La Canada Flintridge fire, known as the Station Fire.
Even from a distance, the smoke roiled in explosive billows,  like an angry and malign ghost&#8212;signaling that the fire was very much out of control.


Here it is seen from the Altadena Weather Cam, [...]]]></description>

9:30 a.m.
Here we go again.

In addition to Montecito, there&#8217;s now what is being called the Sayre Fire in Sylmar that has forced 10,000 evacuations.  (LAFD map here.) 

LAFD&#8217;s Brian Humphries is Twittering about the Sayre fire as are many others, using the hashtag #LAFIRE&#8230;.  Go here to follow the realtime updates.

10:00 a.m. This morning I had to explain to the dog why we couldn&#8217;t go running, that there was way too much smoke in the air. (Yes, I do talk in a conversational manner to the dog, what of it?)  I did not mention terms like &#8220;particulate matter.&#8221;
