At 165 square miles (427 square kilometers), the Bobcat Fire is one of the largest ever in Los Angeles County after burning for more than two weeks. Evacuation orders and warnings are in place for thousands of residents in foothill and desert areas, where semi-rural homes and a popular nature sanctuary have burned. Erratic winds that drove flames into the community of Juniper Hills over the weekend had died down, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Larry Smith. He had worked with the U.S. Forest Service for 14 years. “Charlie was a well-respected leader who was always there for his squad and his crew at the toughest times,” said U.S. Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen.

Jacksonville Beach City Council updates alcohol ordinance

Read full article: Jacksonville Beach City Council updates alcohol ordinance

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - Jacksonville Beach City Council approved a change to an ordinance Monday night that could revoke permits allowing a bar or restaurant to sell alcohol after midnight if the business has too many violations in one year. The city updated the alcohol ordinance to boost security at establishments that serve alcohol. Businesses must now have a security emergency action plan approved by the Jacksonville Beach Police Department and Fire Marshal. The changes follow a series of disorderly and violent encounters involving restaurants that have permits to serve alcohol after midnight. In 2018, 23-year-old Leon Bennett was shot and killed while leaving a bar in Jacksonville Beach.
