Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. That song used
to be that was the opening of our old show.
And I got an email last night from a lovely
lady named Laurie and her mom's house was not burned
to the ground, but burned up in came Rio, and
(00:23):
she said she listened to the station all day. She
used to sing that Timmy Time theme song. She used
to be listening today, probably in her car, maybe at
my house. Can you play that thing? I'll have her
sitting around the radio at four o'clock. And I said,
you got it, so Laurie, And to Laurie's mom, I
hope everything's well up in came Rio, and that is
for you.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I had two people, oddly enough over the weekend that
I met that were big fans and have listened to
you forever, and they both specifically brought up that theme song.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Yeah? Open Tracy, shout out to you. Both of them.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
They even knew all the words and started just singing.
I said, not necessary. Wait, who are the people Hope
and Trace?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Hope and Tracing?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
All right, that's great Okay, well, maybe daily will have it,
you know, a shout out to somebody who knows. All right,
but we do have some serious news of going going on.
I've seen some of the homes up there in came Rio.
It is devastating for people to live up there. I
watched on KTLA chip Yost interview a guy who's seventy two.
(01:23):
He lost everything. He lost his beautiful car that he's
had for sixty years. He's or fifty years. He's seventy
two years old. He's not going to rebuild. He's want
to sit in a camper for we're in a motor
home for three years and watch him rebuild. Plus, it's
going to be nearly impossible, if not completely impossible, to
buy fire insurance up there anymore. Once a fire comes
through there, a lot of policies are canceled. They'll rebuild,
(01:47):
you'll have the backing of the insurance company if you
had insurance, but a lot of a lot of the
policies are going to be canceled, a lot of policies
will not be renewed, and you'll for the most part
be on your own up there. And it's just the
wave of the future. It's just there's too many disasters
going on with hurricanes and fires and floods to protect
(02:11):
all these homes, they just can't. Insurance companies can't do
it anymore, or what else, or else everybody's premiums would be,
you know, thirty thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right, let's talk to our Chris Adler is up there. Chris,
you're on KFI.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
How are you hey, Tim?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
How's it going good? So unbelievable disaster.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I've seen some people whose homes have survived up in
that area, and they sometimes feel worse than the people
lost their homes. There's a tremendous amount of guilt that goes.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Along with that, right, and it's been devastating for so
many people who have lost their homes. Now we're saying
there's been dozens. There was aerial footage where some of
the airborne reporters that they counted at least eighty three
eighty three homes that have worked, But fire officials will
not give us a number because they say there's investigators
on the ground and they want to do it right.
(03:01):
They don't want to put a number out there. So
they're going to go through it and assess the damage,
and so they do not yet have a number, but
aerial footage and reporters who have counted said at least
eighty three. So we're saying dozens of homes right now.
I'm sure you've seen the footage of people who are devastated.
This fire broke out and spread so quickly because of
(03:22):
these Santa Ana wins, and the firefighters say the Santa
Ana wins are the greatest challenge that they're facing right
now because what happens to tim is if the fire
breaks out, embers can be carried miles and I spoke
with a fire captain from CalFire. He said one of
the embers has spread spread two miles from the initial
bird spot, creating another fire. And these fires can just
(03:44):
continue to be picked up by the wind. And so
that's the biggest issue that they're facing right now.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Right and you know, there was a rumor going around
yesterday that the fire stations or fire engines or firefighters
ran out of water, and then the fire chief came
on today and said, that's ridiculous, it didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Well, so what they're saying is that, yes, it's it
doesn't happen often, but they do, and they have to refill.
And I'm watching as fire trucks are going down refilling
at certain stations. They're looking they're pulling water from the
Santa Clara River. You know, at some point the trucks
run out and they have to refuel and and you know,
(04:23):
get some more water. Right They've been fighting this for
over twenty four hours now, yeah, so you know, at
some point, you know, the water is going to run out.
But they've got nearly one thousand firefighters on deck that
have been called in. I'm in Santa Paula right now.
I've seen firefighter crews from Torrents in the Health Bay
(04:43):
Santa Barbara Redondo Beach fire, so they really have pulled
all resources to him, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And watching this fire, what are the winds like today?
Have they calmed down at all?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
So?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
They they're pretty intense and at moments, so I'm sitting
at the base of a fire right now, it's pretty
you can tell. I have my mask on right now
because the quality of the air quality.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Is so bad.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
My eyes are burning actually as I'm speaking. But it
comes in waves, so right now it seems pretty calm,
and then all of a sudden a gust of wind
will come and you can see the flames from where
I'm at. As the wind picks up, you see the
flames burning and are blowing in the direction as to
where the wind is going. So they are worried right
now about a wind shift. So about six o'clock they
(05:26):
say that red alert, that red fire alert is supposed
to die down, but if the winds do shift, they
have some offshore winds coming in that are actually going
to be going against the Santa Ana winds. If the
winds do shift, though, they're worried that it will rage
through Santa Paula with more than three thousand homes at risk.
(05:47):
And again Tim, dozens of homes have already burned down.
People didn't have much warning. They've had to evacuate, So
there's evacuation centers scattered throughout Ventura County. Animals have been evacuated.
And you know, when I was speaking to that fire
Captain Thomas Shoots, he says seeing those homes burned down
was just devastating.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And yesterday was not only a huge firefight, but also
a huge life safety component. Trying to just pull people
out of their houses and save them really sad. But
also very grateful that so far no major injuries and
no fatalities reported.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
And dam As I'm sitting here, you know, helicopters and
air tankers are flying through with retardant and water trying
to reduce the strength of this fire. But they weren't
able to use those super scoopers that flew in from
Canada earlier this year that come in for every fire
season because the winds were so bad they couldn't get
the planes in the air. The winds are starting to
(06:41):
calm down, so now they before they were only able
to use the choppers. Now they've got the planes, and
so we're watching planes and helicopters just coming back like
ships passing in the night, just back and forth.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Chris, are there any fires going on right now? Or
they have everything out?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
So I'm at the base of a fire right now.
There's a lot of smoke coming from the hillside in
Santa Paula, but there are flames. It's not huge, but
see tim from Camrio to Santa Paula. There are smoke spots,
so you can see smoke coming from different parts of
the hillside. It's scattered, so there's all these there's like
(07:16):
five or six. On my way to Santa Paula, there
were like four, well obviously about four or five smoke
stacks coming from the hillside flames. I'm not seeing a ton.
I am seeing some flames from where I'm standing right now.
I'm going to be going up a little bit further
in as soon as I'm off with you, just to
kind of get a better vantage point as to what's
(07:38):
going on. But there are a lot of firefighters on
this hillside right now, I bet.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
All right, Chris, thanks for coming on with us, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
We'll talk to you soon, all right, Tien, Thanks, all right,
thank you, Chris Adler up there in the fire in
Cambrio and Oxnard and Santa Paula.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It's been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Eighty three homes have burnt, one of them worth less
than a million dollars. I imagine some of them probably
worth four or five six millionaire.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, taking a look beforehand, like last night when they
were doing the overhead shots. Some of those estates you
could call her, are just astoundingly big, and the poor people.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I saw a woman interview today who had six dogs
in a small car. She had a mansion, she had
a huge beautiful house. She's have the neighbors over for
dessert once a year for Christmas. She's had thousands of
people stay with her. She brings in students, exchange students
from overseas, always lets them stay in her house for free.
(08:34):
And she's just done everything right in her life. And
now she's got nothing. She's in the car, in this tiny, tiny,
little compact car with six dogs, and she sleeps in
the car at night, and she has no idea what
she's going to do, no idea. And those people that
were talking about that Chris Adler's talking about were we're
seeing on TV. These people are not three thousand miles
(08:57):
from us. These people are ten, fifteen, twenty miles from us.
These are our neighbors. These are fellow southern Californian neighbors.
And and so it's a real it's really hurtful to
know that just you know, north of Thousand Oaks, in
that area and that beautiful valley up there, that.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
These people are hurting like that. So I hope they
can get some relief.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And if there's any kind of you know, charity event
going on, we'll be sure to mention it. But there's
a lot of people up there without insurance, and a
lot of people who have nothing now absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, just think what you would be like.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You know, you live in paycheck to paycheck and now
you're home and everything is gone.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's it's it's devastating.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All Right, the Mountain fire out in camer Rio. It's
devastating for a lot of people. Here's a family that
has horrible luck, a family they lost their house in
the Thomas fire and moved to Camera Rio to be safer.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
About two hundred homes in that neighborhood, of which one
hundred burned down, and we didn't lose our home that time.
We'd been there for thirty five years, burnt everything around it,
and we decided we were going to get out of
the fire zone and the construction zone.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
But it certainly seems to have worked out better. The
buffer that the avocado groves and the golf course provide
certainly prevented. I think the majority of these houses, or
any of these houses here, and it's fun eighty houses,
I think, from getting any real damage other than they
perhaps smoke.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
The Gleason's recently remodeled their house using lessons they learned
from the Thomas fire, such as not having.
Speaker 11 (10:44):
Any exterior events into the attic where embers can get in.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Size.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well, yeah it's smart, but it creates other problems.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You know, you've got to have air up there.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We'll talk to Dean Sharp around six twenty on what
you can do to keep your home from burning up.
This guy in camer Rill, he his home for nearly
forty years, destroyed.
Speaker 13 (11:06):
To celebrate Christmas Eve every year and Thanksgiving and those
memories we have, but the place is gone.
Speaker 14 (11:16):
Steve Taylor's came Rio home he's owned for nearly forty years,
a pile of ashes and debris. It's one of many
the Mountain Fire burned along Valley Vista Road.
Speaker 13 (11:25):
I was in Thousand Oaks and I got a call
from my son around nine twenty saying, Dad, there's a
fire in more Park and I'm like, holy cow, knowing
what's happened with the winds because they were howling, and
I got up on the roof and the ladder still
right over there. I got up on the roof and
started closing down them the roof and then it just
started coming and they started evacuating us.
Speaker 14 (11:46):
Steve and his brother Tim coming back to survey the home,
taking time to water their next door neighbor's property as
a layer of protection against embers being blown by strong
Santa Anna. Winds had no idea until we saw.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It on the news.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
Yeah, the house.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
It was like, oh my god, I.
Speaker 13 (12:02):
Didn't put the one out on my house, but at
least I put out my neighbors.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
How's that.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
But several hours later, the shed Steve had temporarily extinguished
was fully engulfed a water drop attempt from above first,
before fire crews later rushed in to get a handle
on the flames. As we get a closer look at
the devastation here in this community, another hard hit area
is here on Esteban Drive, property after property burned to
(12:25):
the ground and vehicles like these parked here on the
street completely torched with electricity out. It was glowing embers
that continued to light up the sky into Wednesday night,
and the flashing lights of fire engines from all across
southern California fighting the wind gusts and working NonStop to
save as many homes as possible.
Speaker 13 (12:43):
They were overwhelmed. They were overwhelmed by just the veracity
of this wind and the sheer magnitude of it. And
it all happened in such a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, a very short period of time. Those fires.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
When I was a kid, if there was a fire
in thousand oaks and fueled by these Santa Ana winds,
it would take sometimes a day or two days to
get to the ocean. Now it takes a half hour.
And I don't know what happened. I don't know if
it were drier than usual, or if the winds are
stronger than usual. But again, when I was a kid,
(13:20):
you would slowly see these fires burn a mile a day,
maybe two miles, And now they can burn ten to
fifteen miles in an hour. It's incredible, it's unbelievable. Hopefully
the winds have calmed down a little. I think they're
shifting and maybe they'll get some relief up there.
Speaker 11 (13:40):
Still working, so we're still not completely out of the woods.
There are still some concerns, especially in those fire zones.
We are still in that Santa Ana profile, northeast winds
coming towards from the east towards the west over those
fire zone. Now we can see the speeds of these
winds are down a bit now under twenty miles per
hour in Santa Paul at eighteen still right up there,
fairly fairly high right for Camerio twenty nine twenty six.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Rueah twenty nine miles an hour, still in Camerio. And
you could and you heard when Chris Adler was on
with us, you could hear the wind on her microphone.
Speaker 11 (14:09):
Camrio twenty nine twenty six around more part close to
the coast, Daniel Oxtar ten miles prior Win. So those
are those steady winds that gus are a little bit stronger,
of course, So that in mind, here's.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
What we're looking at.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
The red flag warning in effect. Now some of the
areas here will go off.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, when we come back, we're gonna have Steve Kreeger on.
He is a retired captain from La County Fire and
he'll give us an idea of how and how tough
it was to fight this fire because he was he's
been a firefighter for a long time. He recently retired.
I think he's in there for forty years and this
is the firefighter's worst nightmare. There's a thousand of them
(14:44):
up there, a thousand firefighters assistants coming from all over California.
You're all over southern California. Will ask them about that
as well, and also about taking a helicopter and dumping
water on a house. Steve Gregory has his theory on
why they don't do that. We'll ask Steve Kreeger his
theory as well.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And they, by the way, they just they haven't given
us a number yet, but they do say it's more
than twenty thousand.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Now, just entification.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
More than twenty thousands. Oh my god, that is unbelievable.
And at least eighty three homes that we know of,
at least eighty three.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know what that means? Who got a high speed
for sure?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Channel four, Channel five rolls on it already, Dig's dog.
We got ahh speed chase, oh Man, the first one
of the week. High speed Chase on Channel five and
Chantel Channel four. It looks like Crozier North Hollywood, Magnolia.
(15:45):
Is that our one seventy freeway?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Looks like that's where you used.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
To hang when you came out here. Yeah, I used
to live there on NoHo fourteen. A big apartment building
right there right at that exit. Very familiar with it.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That might be near my park.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah it is. They went right past your park.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Now it's on all the stations. Where is that?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Would you say?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
I saw a krazier's tree in the background.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, all right, we're all on it now seven five
for everybody's on top of it.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh you know we can see the helicopters. Yeah, oh yeah,
you can see him from our window. You can see
some of the helicopters. All right, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
We got a van. We got a man in a
van or a woman in a van can.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And he's he doesn't like he does he did something
the cops didn't like. And now he's going northbound I believe,
or is it southbound? It says southbound on the on
the on the TV. But I think that's northbound. I
said northbound.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Okay, yeah, I got him going north northbound.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
All right, we're all going northbound towards uh you know,
burbank O Snard. Victory is up next, Victory Boulevard is
up next. There's a painter's van next to it, some
kind of red, white and blue crazy. He's gonna get
some free publicity. You know, he's he's smart. He's got
his I don't know work van there. He's his red,
(17:04):
white and blue maybe a Trump truck, who knows. But
it looks like if you don't mind me observing the
van that's running aay from the cops. The back window,
passenger or driver's side, back window looks custom custom, looks
like the home job. Somebody at home decided they could
do a better job with the window, or the guy
(17:26):
didn't know the dob to do it. Either way, he's
now going very slowly because there's a lot of traffic there, Angel,
What does the traffic look like ahead of this pursuit?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
So on that one seventy northbound, that's where it's pretty
stacked all the way to the five freeway.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And if he doesn't have another passenger, he can't use
that diamond lane and he's not going to break the law.
So he's going to have to sit in this traffic
all right, right, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Thing dong.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hey you know what, Angel, You know, when you go
to a traffic light, you see the censors, you know underneath,
so you know their weights. If you if you're if
you have a heavy not a heavy car, but any
kind of metal over it, it'll it'll, it'll signal that
you're there waiting for the light.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
The freeway has the same crap.
Speaker 12 (18:10):
They do for speed autumn.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
So yeah, you can just cal Chens has cal Chen's
has a bunch of different monitors set up and it
determines how fast the traffic is. Okay, So you know
when you look at the map and you see the
red lights or the yellow lights, that's what those those
little indicators in the ground are for.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, all right, all right, so we're watching them right now.
One seventy uh northbound. That's the the extension of the
one oh one comes out of downtown, and then the
one oh one goes south or north and and then
the one seventy continues.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
And that's where he is right now.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
There's a van, a red, white and blue van in
front of him, trying to get some publicity for his company,
doing a great job, doing a great job. I can't
read the number of the company, the name of the
company on it. I think it's that Chicken place, but
it looks like an air conditioning repair guy, but it
also could be a restaurant. I don't know, but that's
a great idea. You know, you hook up, you follow
(19:11):
this guy as long as the you know, the cops
aren't going to rest you too, which they might, you
know they might. But this guy is fleeing from the
cops the one seventy North. If you're on the one
seventy North coming up behind you, you're gonna get a
lot of action, a lot of cops, a lot of helicopters.
You can see above you. There's a lot of cars
that are trying to avoid this guy, and it's going
(19:32):
to be jammed all the way to the five Freeway,
which is about four or five miles from where he's
at right now, we'll come up on Victory van Owen.
I think he's already passed Victory, So you got Van
Owen and that'll get you into I don't know. I
think the next exit after van Owen is probably Sherman Way,
and then there might be one more before the five Freeway.
(19:54):
And so he's getting pretty close. I think Rosco is
an exitdent there, so.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
He's getting pretty close.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
There's a helicopter, cop helicopter, police helicopter overhead. There are
all the news stations are on this. I don't see
Channel two on it, but we do see four is
on top of it, and so they're doing a great job.
Seven is on top of it as well, and I
think that's it. I'm turning on Channel two. I don't
(20:22):
see it on Channel two yet, so Channel two a
little late to the party. But I think they're still
in the Judge Judy hour. But you'll see it on four.
Turn on four five. Seven is on it and you
can see this chase. I don't know if our kids
over at Channel eleven are on it or not. I'll
check now for you in case you don't get those
(20:43):
other stations. No eleven is not on TMZ live, isn't
it all right? So that's right there. That's the Sherman
Way exit and the overpass, the pedestrian overpass of the
one to seventy freeway.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
It looks like he's pulling over, but that could be deceiving.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Maybe he's not ready to pull over yet. Lap is
the main pursuer, I believe, and probably out of North
Hollywood Division right off of Burbank there and the one
seventy freeway.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
And bear in mind this is a little bit more
serious than usually because usually it's like a stolen vehicle
or something like that. This is on a led shooting
sestle suspect, and they say they do suspect. He still
has a gun with him.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh boy, okay, so this one will not if this
gets a high speed, they're not gonna let this guy go.
They're going to stay with this guy all the way
to the end. A shooting suspect. He's locked in, locked
in Sherman Way overhead right now, and you can see
the traffic on Sherman Way on the overpasses, jammed. On
the freeways jammed as well. Northbound at four forty five
(21:43):
seems like a pretty a good amount of traffic and
a usual amount of traffic for that area.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Angel.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
What do you see on the five Freeway, Because you
can't go south on the five Freeway from the one
to seventy, you have to go north.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
What do you see on the northbound?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Well, it's pretty heavy ahead that it opens up just
before the one eighteen, so it looks pretty crowded to
just about Terrabella and beyond you've got some more slowing
where the four h five merges into the five. All
the way to about Colgrove in the New Hall area.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Okay, all right, people going home to Santa Clarita, Palmdale,
the Lancaster, that whole run up there, that's always jammed,
always jammed up there.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Always.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's passing a storage, a place where they have storage units,
which is every other business in North Hollywood in that area,
every other business it's storage. People have all their craft
in storage, and they have it everywhere in that area. Boats, cars, clothes, furniture,
and they paid two three hundred bucks a month for
(22:48):
crap that they can't get rid of.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But they don't want their house either.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
At the old Carlon Bit.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Place for your stuff, that's right, a place for your stuff.
And then when you go, let's say, that's great.
Speaker 12 (23:00):
What do you think the odds are that this guy's
listening to you?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
In that kind of van am radio is probably the
only thing he does have. It's working, So.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I bet he is.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I bet he is.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Look, if I was running from the cops, i'd have
KFI on, you know, you would have to the hell.
He's using his turn signal like he's going to pull over,
but I don't see him actually pulling over.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
It's very law abiding that guy.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, I think he might be a duke in the
cops with that turn signal. And yet look another storage place,
another public storage place.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
They're all over that, all over that area.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Motor homes, boats, cars, furniture, all that crap.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It's all in that area, all of it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And if you are into storage, we had a storage
bind for a while. You go there the first time,
you know, every week or two and puts the stuff
in or take stuff out, and then you leave it
for nine years. Yes, it comes out of your checking
account or your credit card, and you get angry that
you're paying that one hundred and thirty dollars a month
and you never do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
It just stays there, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We're keeping an eye on this chase one seventy northbound
coming out of North Hollywood, approaching the five freeway. If
you're in that area, watch out. Copper's behind you and
traffic in front of you.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
You're listening to Tim conwaytunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
KFI AM six forty Conway show. We got a high
speed pursued. They have jumped off the freeway. He pulled
over like he was gonna give up, and he's he's
rolling again.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Is that a dog? Yeah, there's a dog in the car.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh a dog, Yeah, in the front seat and with
the seatbelt on.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It looks like it was in the center console at
one point. And I was like, is that his hand?
Because all I saw was the head. I thought it
was a hand or something like that. And now he's
in the passenger seat. And now he's pulled over again
on the side of the road dune. He's I believe,
on Roscoe or is that Sheldon.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
He's on Sheldon Street.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
He's right in between the one seventy and the five,
and he's traveling southbound.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now he's on the move again. He's moving out again.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He's coming up on he's on Shelton's moving southbound. Yes, yes, okay,
all right, all right. He's a shooting suspect. Yeah, I
got evidently allegedly shooting with the dog.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
I mean, he didn't shoot the dog, but he's got
the dog with him.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
He's got his dog. What happens in that case, what
happens to the dog?
Speaker 10 (25:22):
They take it to a shelter, Yeah, I think so,
animal control shelter.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Oh, that's sad.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
At the end part of evidence at that point.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, I know it's the witness. Yeah, but you know
that dog.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I think if it has a new owner, I might
sleep for a couple of days. You know, this guy
has him real busy. This guy's busied. That dog up
pretty good. He's got nine hundred cops behind him, four helicopters,
five helicopters over him, a lot of sirens, a lot
of lights, a lot of action. And that dog just
wants to eat and you know, take a duty. That's
(25:57):
only they do, eat, sleep and duty. I wish we
could all do that. I always thought, like, you know
our dog Earnie who recently passed away, and I really
missed that guy.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But man, he had it going. He had it going.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
He would sleep all day, he'd sleep twenty hours a day,
and then he'd get up to eat, go to the bathroom,
and then go to sleep. Man, does that guy I
had it made to be a dog manh Yeah, angry
as hell though, bid everybody.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
It's slowing down again on our Leda Avenue, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And he's I don't I don't know, I don't know
what what's going on with that back window there?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
What he did with it. Maybe maybe that's to pick
up chicks.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't know, maybe girls are into that, you know,
that kind of a custom door, and the paint job
on the hood is gonna need some attention.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
As well, black of you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, but the van has seen better days, you know.
I always think of that van rolled off a lot,
you know, eight nine, ten years ago, brand new had
its whole life in front of him. And now it's
being chased by cops and they're probably going to pit
this guy, and that dog is gonna go flying.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I can't tell he's either got he's got like the
dog's got like a vest on.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I wonder if they are they're more cautious about pitting
a car with a dog in it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Maybe, you know, especially if those cops have dogs, they
probably are. But it looks like that that dog has
a seatbelt done.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's what That's what I thought at first too.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I'm not sure I gotta give points for that.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
Did this guy steal this car? Because maybe the dog
was in the car when he.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
It's a little pug aug and I believe the driver
may be a female.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Really wow, wow, what's the sex of the dog? Anything? Nothing?
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Is it?
Speaker 12 (27:43):
Neutered.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Nothing on that, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
So we got at least one human and one dog,
and they're right now on Urlita Avenue in where is
that still?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
North Hollywood? Where is that? Are we going into silmrn
they were?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Or Sun Valley?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Our Lida Pacoima Osborn and is.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
That seven saying that it is our lida?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Seven says our lida. Five says our Lida. Yeah, no,
Arleita Avenue.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And then Montague Street.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
YadA da.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And old boats is the key for the backyards in
this area.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Old boats man. Three.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I think our lida means old boats in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And they're not on like boat trailers. They're just sitting.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, they've sold the trailer leading over whoa. And again
you know that boat at one point was new. People
are water skiing behind it. It was it looked great.
Now it's in Arleta on the ground. It's the word
boats go to die. Old boats man, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Where are you living? Old boats?
Speaker 11 (28:55):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
You're in our lida?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
How's it going good? Got all my crap in storage
and our leader all right? How's it going Not good?
Not good at all? Not good? The boat yeah, and
then the wash, do it yourself car washes. That's what
you get there. Our leader is home with her do
yourself car wash and storage. That's all you get out there.
Occasionally is seven to eleven, but mostly just self storage
(29:20):
and do it yourself car washes.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's that. Those are the staples of our leader.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Yeah. I think the dog has one of those those
little four point harnesses.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Okay, yeah, yeah, well that's good. I mean that's good.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The guy's concerned about his dog or whoever's dog that is,
or lady. Yeah, that van is I think it's over.
I think it's it's on its last legs. I don't
think that van could handle a pit. I don't think
that van can handle spikes either roll or just disintegrate.
I think that van is about to give its tires
(29:53):
up or hands up or something. It's not it's not. Oh,
he's gonna get on the freeway here, I bet or
she Yeah, she can get the freeway, so she's gonna
get back on the freeway here. I imagine it's gonna
be southbound on the one, seventy or the five, whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Freeway that is.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
I think that's a fine.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's a fine, okay, And we're gonna go southbound. Looks
like it might be southbound, whereas I five north.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
But again it's.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Gonna be slow, a slow moving to get a lot
of traffic.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Here, looks north again, right, it looks north.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
Looks nor there's the dog.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh my gosh, yeah, uh, look, the dog's probably you know,
he's got stories to tell now to other dogs.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Very rarely are they in high speed pursuits.
Speaker 12 (30:40):
It's a lot of street cred for a little dog
like that.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We'll keep an eye on this last or this lad
who's driving, and see what happens that dog. Maybe somebody
can adopt it, who knows. But I always feel bad
for the innocent people of the nocent in this case,
the innocent dog. It's sitting there with this with this woman,
and I don't know. Maybe that shield in the back
is for the dog. I'd keep the son out of
(31:05):
the dog's eyes. Who knows. But we are live on
a high speed pursuit LAPD northbound five Angel.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Is that true? Is that correct?
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Yes, yes, that's Terry five.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
We'll take a break, we'll come back with a high
speed pursuit live right here on KFI AM six forty Conway.
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can
always hear us live on KFI Am six forty four
to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. That song used
to be that was the opening of our old show.
And I got an email last night from a lovely
lady named Laurie and her mom's house was not burned
to the ground, but burned up in came Rio, and
(00:23):
she said she listened to the station all day. She
used to sing that Timmy Time theme song. She used
to be listening today, probably in her car, maybe at
my house. Can you play that thing? I'll have her
sitting around the radio at four o'clock. And I said,
you got it, so Laurie, And to Laurie's mom, I
hope everything's well up in came Rio, and that is
for you.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I had two people, oddly enough over the weekend that
I met that were big fans and have listened to
you forever, and they both specifically brought up that theme song.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Yeah? Open Tracy, shout out to you. Both of them.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
They even knew all the words and started just singing.
I said, not necessary. Wait, who are the people Hope
and Trace?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Hope and Tracing?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
All right, that's great Okay, well, maybe daily will have it,
you know, a shout out to somebody who knows. All right,
but we do have some serious news of going going on.
I've seen some of the homes up there in came Rio.
It is devastating for people to live up there. I
watched on KTLA chip Yost interview a guy who's seventy two.
(01:23):
He lost everything. He lost his beautiful car that he's
had for sixty years. He's or fifty years. He's seventy
two years old. He's not going to rebuild. He's want
to sit in a camper for we're in a motor
home for three years and watch him rebuild. Plus, it's
going to be nearly impossible, if not completely impossible, to
buy fire insurance up there anymore. Once a fire comes
through there, a lot of policies are canceled. They'll rebuild,
(01:47):
you'll have the backing of the insurance company if you
had insurance, but a lot of a lot of the
policies are going to be canceled, a lot of policies
will not be renewed, and you'll for the most part
be on your own up there. And it's just the
wave of the future. It's just there's too many disasters
going on with hurricanes and fires and floods to protect
(02:11):
all these homes, they just can't. Insurance companies can't do
it anymore, or what else, or else everybody's premiums would be,
you know, thirty thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right, let's talk to our Chris Adler is up there. Chris,
you're on KFI.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
How are you hey, Tim?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
How's it going good? So unbelievable disaster.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I've seen some people whose homes have survived up in
that area, and they sometimes feel worse than the people
lost their homes. There's a tremendous amount of guilt that goes.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Along with that, right, and it's been devastating for so
many people who have lost their homes. Now we're saying
there's been dozens. There was aerial footage where some of
the airborne reporters that they counted at least eighty three
eighty three homes that have worked, But fire officials will
not give us a number because they say there's investigators
on the ground and they want to do it right.
(03:01):
They don't want to put a number out there. So
they're going to go through it and assess the damage,
and so they do not yet have a number, but
aerial footage and reporters who have counted said at least
eighty three. So we're saying dozens of homes right now.
I'm sure you've seen the footage of people who are devastated.
This fire broke out and spread so quickly because of
(03:22):
these Santa Ana wins, and the firefighters say the Santa
Ana wins are the greatest challenge that they're facing right
now because what happens to tim is if the fire
breaks out, embers can be carried miles and I spoke
with a fire captain from CalFire. He said one of
the embers has spread spread two miles from the initial
bird spot, creating another fire. And these fires can just
(03:44):
continue to be picked up by the wind. And so
that's the biggest issue that they're facing right now.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Right and you know, there was a rumor going around
yesterday that the fire stations or fire engines or firefighters
ran out of water, and then the fire chief came
on today and said, that's ridiculous, it didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Well, so what they're saying is that, yes, it's it
doesn't happen often, but they do, and they have to refill.
And I'm watching as fire trucks are going down refilling
at certain stations. They're looking they're pulling water from the
Santa Clara River. You know, at some point the trucks
run out and they have to refuel and and you know,
(04:23):
get some more water. Right They've been fighting this for
over twenty four hours now, yeah, so you know, at
some point, you know, the water is going to run out.
But they've got nearly one thousand firefighters on deck that
have been called in. I'm in Santa Paula right now.
I've seen firefighter crews from Torrents in the Health Bay
(04:43):
Santa Barbara Redondo Beach fire, so they really have pulled
all resources to him, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And watching this fire, what are the winds like today?
Have they calmed down at all?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
So?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
They they're pretty intense and at moments, so I'm sitting
at the base of a fire right now, it's pretty
you can tell. I have my mask on right now
because the quality of the air quality.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Is so bad.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
My eyes are burning actually as I'm speaking. But it
comes in waves, so right now it seems pretty calm,
and then all of a sudden a gust of wind
will come and you can see the flames from where
I'm at. As the wind picks up, you see the
flames burning and are blowing in the direction as to
where the wind is going. So they are worried right
now about a wind shift. So about six o'clock they
(05:26):
say that red alert, that red fire alert is supposed
to die down, but if the winds do shift, they
have some offshore winds coming in that are actually going
to be going against the Santa Ana winds. If the
winds do shift, though, they're worried that it will rage
through Santa Paula with more than three thousand homes at risk.
(05:47):
And again Tim, dozens of homes have already burned down.
People didn't have much warning. They've had to evacuate, So
there's evacuation centers scattered throughout Ventura County. Animals have been evacuated.
And you know, when I was speaking to that fire
Captain Thomas Shoots, he says seeing those homes burned down
was just devastating.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And yesterday was not only a huge firefight, but also
a huge life safety component. Trying to just pull people
out of their houses and save them really sad. But
also very grateful that so far no major injuries and
no fatalities reported.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
And dam As I'm sitting here, you know, helicopters and
air tankers are flying through with retardant and water trying
to reduce the strength of this fire. But they weren't
able to use those super scoopers that flew in from
Canada earlier this year that come in for every fire
season because the winds were so bad they couldn't get
the planes in the air. The winds are starting to
(06:41):
calm down, so now they before they were only able
to use the choppers. Now they've got the planes, and
so we're watching planes and helicopters just coming back like
ships passing in the night, just back and forth.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Chris, are there any fires going on right now? Or
they have everything out?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
So I'm at the base of a fire right now.
There's a lot of smoke coming from the hillside in
Santa Paula, but there are flames. It's not huge, but
see tim from Camrio to Santa Paula. There are smoke spots,
so you can see smoke coming from different parts of
the hillside. It's scattered, so there's all these there's like
(07:16):
five or six. On my way to Santa Paula, there
were like four, well obviously about four or five smoke
stacks coming from the hillside flames. I'm not seeing a ton.
I am seeing some flames from where I'm standing right now.
I'm going to be going up a little bit further
in as soon as I'm off with you, just to
kind of get a better vantage point as to what's
(07:38):
going on. But there are a lot of firefighters on
this hillside right now, I bet.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
All right, Chris, thanks for coming on with us, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
We'll talk to you soon, all right, Tien, Thanks, all right,
thank you, Chris Adler up there in the fire in
Cambrio and Oxnard and Santa Paula.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It's been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Eighty three homes have burnt, one of them worth less
than a million dollars. I imagine some of them probably
worth four or five six millionaire.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, taking a look beforehand, like last night when they
were doing the overhead shots. Some of those estates you
could call her, are just astoundingly big, and the poor people.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I saw a woman interview today who had six dogs
in a small car. She had a mansion, she had
a huge beautiful house. She's have the neighbors over for
dessert once a year for Christmas. She's had thousands of
people stay with her. She brings in students, exchange students
from overseas, always lets them stay in her house for free.
(08:34):
And she's just done everything right in her life. And
now she's got nothing. She's in the car, in this tiny, tiny,
little compact car with six dogs, and she sleeps in
the car at night, and she has no idea what
she's going to do, no idea. And those people that
were talking about that Chris Adler's talking about were we're
seeing on TV. These people are not three thousand miles
(08:57):
from us. These people are ten, fifteen, twenty miles from us.
These are our neighbors. These are fellow southern Californian neighbors.
And and so it's a real it's really hurtful to
know that just you know, north of Thousand Oaks, in
that area and that beautiful valley up there, that.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
These people are hurting like that. So I hope they
can get some relief.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And if there's any kind of you know, charity event
going on, we'll be sure to mention it. But there's
a lot of people up there without insurance, and a
lot of people who have nothing now absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, just think what you would be like.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You know, you live in paycheck to paycheck and now
you're home and everything is gone.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's it's it's devastating.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All Right, the Mountain fire out in camer Rio. It's
devastating for a lot of people. Here's a family that
has horrible luck, a family they lost their house in
the Thomas fire and moved to Camera Rio to be safer.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
About two hundred homes in that neighborhood, of which one
hundred burned down, and we didn't lose our home that time.
We'd been there for thirty five years, burnt everything around it,
and we decided we were going to get out of
the fire zone and the construction zone.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
But it certainly seems to have worked out better. The
buffer that the avocado groves and the golf course provide
certainly prevented. I think the majority of these houses, or
any of these houses here, and it's fun eighty houses,
I think, from getting any real damage other than they
perhaps smoke.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
The Gleason's recently remodeled their house using lessons they learned
from the Thomas fire, such as not having.
Speaker 11 (10:44):
Any exterior events into the attic where embers can get in.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Size.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well, yeah it's smart, but it creates other problems.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
You know, you've got to have air up there.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We'll talk to Dean Sharp around six twenty on what
you can do to keep your home from burning up.
This guy in camer Rill, he his home for nearly
forty years, destroyed.
Speaker 13 (11:06):
To celebrate Christmas Eve every year and Thanksgiving and those
memories we have, but the place is gone.
Speaker 14 (11:16):
Steve Taylor's came Rio home he's owned for nearly forty years,
a pile of ashes and debris. It's one of many
the Mountain Fire burned along Valley Vista Road.
Speaker 13 (11:25):
I was in Thousand Oaks and I got a call
from my son around nine twenty saying, Dad, there's a
fire in more Park and I'm like, holy cow, knowing
what's happened with the winds because they were howling, and
I got up on the roof and the ladder still
right over there. I got up on the roof and
started closing down them the roof and then it just
started coming and they started evacuating us.
Speaker 14 (11:46):
Steve and his brother Tim coming back to survey the home,
taking time to water their next door neighbor's property as
a layer of protection against embers being blown by strong
Santa Anna. Winds had no idea until we saw.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It on the news.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
Yeah, the house.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
It was like, oh my god, I.
Speaker 13 (12:02):
Didn't put the one out on my house, but at
least I put out my neighbors.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
How's that.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
But several hours later, the shed Steve had temporarily extinguished
was fully engulfed a water drop attempt from above first,
before fire crews later rushed in to get a handle
on the flames. As we get a closer look at
the devastation here in this community, another hard hit area
is here on Esteban Drive, property after property burned to
(12:25):
the ground and vehicles like these parked here on the
street completely torched with electricity out. It was glowing embers
that continued to light up the sky into Wednesday night,
and the flashing lights of fire engines from all across
southern California fighting the wind gusts and working NonStop to
save as many homes as possible.
Speaker 13 (12:43):
They were overwhelmed. They were overwhelmed by just the veracity
of this wind and the sheer magnitude of it. And
it all happened in such a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, a very short period of time. Those fires.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
When I was a kid, if there was a fire
in thousand oaks and fueled by these Santa Ana winds,
it would take sometimes a day or two days to
get to the ocean. Now it takes a half hour.
And I don't know what happened. I don't know if
it were drier than usual, or if the winds are
stronger than usual. But again, when I was a kid,
(13:20):
you would slowly see these fires burn a mile a day,
maybe two miles, And now they can burn ten to
fifteen miles in an hour. It's incredible, it's unbelievable. Hopefully
the winds have calmed down a little. I think they're
shifting and maybe they'll get some relief up there.
Speaker 11 (13:40):
Still working, so we're still not completely out of the woods.
There are still some concerns, especially in those fire zones.
We are still in that Santa Ana profile, northeast winds
coming towards from the east towards the west over those
fire zone. Now we can see the speeds of these
winds are down a bit now under twenty miles per
hour in Santa Paul at eighteen still right up there,
fairly fairly high right for Camerio twenty nine twenty six.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Rueah twenty nine miles an hour, still in Camerio. And
you could and you heard when Chris Adler was on
with us, you could hear the wind on her microphone.
Speaker 11 (14:09):
Camrio twenty nine twenty six around more part close to
the coast, Daniel Oxtar ten miles prior Win. So those
are those steady winds that gus are a little bit stronger,
of course, So that in mind, here's.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
What we're looking at.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
The red flag warning in effect. Now some of the
areas here will go off.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, when we come back, we're gonna have Steve Kreeger on.
He is a retired captain from La County Fire and
he'll give us an idea of how and how tough
it was to fight this fire because he was he's
been a firefighter for a long time. He recently retired.
I think he's in there for forty years and this
is the firefighter's worst nightmare. There's a thousand of them
(14:44):
up there, a thousand firefighters assistants coming from all over California.
You're all over southern California. Will ask them about that
as well, and also about taking a helicopter and dumping
water on a house. Steve Gregory has his theory on
why they don't do that. We'll ask Steve Kreeger his
theory as well.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And they, by the way, they just they haven't given
us a number yet, but they do say it's more
than twenty thousand.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Now, just entification.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
More than twenty thousands. Oh my god, that is unbelievable.
And at least eighty three homes that we know of,
at least eighty three.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know what that means? Who got a high speed
for sure?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Channel four, Channel five rolls on it already, Dig's dog.
We got ahh speed chase, oh Man, the first one
of the week. High speed Chase on Channel five and
Chantel Channel four. It looks like Crozier North Hollywood, Magnolia.
(15:45):
Is that our one seventy freeway?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Looks like that's where you used.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
To hang when you came out here. Yeah, I used
to live there on NoHo fourteen. A big apartment building
right there right at that exit. Very familiar with it.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That might be near my park.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah it is. They went right past your park.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Now it's on all the stations. Where is that?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Would you say?
Speaker 12 (16:07):
I saw a krazier's tree in the background.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, all right, we're all on it now seven five
for everybody's on top of it.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh you know we can see the helicopters. Yeah, oh yeah,
you can see him from our window. You can see
some of the helicopters. All right, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
We got a van. We got a man in a
van or a woman in a van can.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And he's he doesn't like he does he did something
the cops didn't like. And now he's going northbound I believe,
or is it southbound? It says southbound on the on
the on the TV. But I think that's northbound. I
said northbound.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Okay, yeah, I got him going north northbound.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
All right, we're all going northbound towards uh you know,
burbank O Snard. Victory is up next, Victory Boulevard is
up next. There's a painter's van next to it, some
kind of red, white and blue crazy. He's gonna get
some free publicity. You know, he's he's smart. He's got
his I don't know work van there. He's his red,
(17:04):
white and blue maybe a Trump truck, who knows. But
it looks like if you don't mind me observing the
van that's running aay from the cops. The back window,
passenger or driver's side, back window looks custom custom, looks
like the home job. Somebody at home decided they could
do a better job with the window, or the guy
(17:26):
didn't know the dob to do it. Either way, he's
now going very slowly because there's a lot of traffic there, Angel,
What does the traffic look like ahead of this pursuit?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
So on that one seventy northbound, that's where it's pretty
stacked all the way to the five freeway.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And if he doesn't have another passenger, he can't use
that diamond lane and he's not going to break the law.
So he's going to have to sit in this traffic
all right, right, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Thing dong.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hey you know what, Angel, You know, when you go
to a traffic light, you see the censors, you know underneath,
so you know their weights. If you if you're if
you have a heavy not a heavy car, but any
kind of metal over it, it'll it'll, it'll signal that
you're there waiting for the light.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
The freeway has the same crap.
Speaker 12 (18:10):
They do for speed autumn.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
So yeah, you can just cal Chens has cal Chen's
has a bunch of different monitors set up and it
determines how fast the traffic is. Okay, So you know
when you look at the map and you see the
red lights or the yellow lights, that's what those those
little indicators in the ground are for.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Okay, all right, all right, so we're watching them right now.
One seventy uh northbound. That's the the extension of the
one oh one comes out of downtown, and then the
one oh one goes south or north and and then
the one seventy continues.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
And that's where he is right now.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
There's a van, a red, white and blue van in
front of him, trying to get some publicity for his company,
doing a great job, doing a great job. I can't
read the number of the company, the name of the
company on it. I think it's that Chicken place, but
it looks like an air conditioning repair guy, but it
also could be a restaurant. I don't know, but that's
a great idea. You know, you hook up, you follow
(19:11):
this guy as long as the you know, the cops
aren't going to rest you too, which they might, you
know they might. But this guy is fleeing from the
cops the one seventy North. If you're on the one
seventy North coming up behind you, you're gonna get a
lot of action, a lot of cops, a lot of helicopters.
You can see above you. There's a lot of cars
that are trying to avoid this guy, and it's going
(19:32):
to be jammed all the way to the five Freeway,
which is about four or five miles from where he's
at right now, we'll come up on Victory van Owen.
I think he's already passed Victory, So you got Van
Owen and that'll get you into I don't know. I
think the next exit after van Owen is probably Sherman Way,
and then there might be one more before the five Freeway.
(19:54):
And so he's getting pretty close. I think Rosco is
an exitdent there, so.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
He's getting pretty close.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
There's a helicopter, cop helicopter, police helicopter overhead. There are
all the news stations are on this. I don't see
Channel two on it, but we do see four is
on top of it, and so they're doing a great job.
Seven is on top of it as well, and I
think that's it. I'm turning on Channel two. I don't
(20:22):
see it on Channel two yet, so Channel two a
little late to the party. But I think they're still
in the Judge Judy hour. But you'll see it on four.
Turn on four five. Seven is on it and you
can see this chase. I don't know if our kids
over at Channel eleven are on it or not. I'll
check now for you in case you don't get those
(20:43):
other stations. No eleven is not on TMZ live, isn't
it all right? So that's right there. That's the Sherman
Way exit and the overpass, the pedestrian overpass of the
one to seventy freeway.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
It looks like he's pulling over, but that could be deceiving.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Maybe he's not ready to pull over yet. Lap is
the main pursuer, I believe, and probably out of North
Hollywood Division right off of Burbank there and the one
seventy freeway.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
And bear in mind this is a little bit more
serious than usually because usually it's like a stolen vehicle
or something like that. This is on a led shooting
sestle suspect, and they say they do suspect. He still
has a gun with him.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh boy, okay, so this one will not if this
gets a high speed, they're not gonna let this guy go.
They're going to stay with this guy all the way
to the end. A shooting suspect. He's locked in, locked
in Sherman Way overhead right now, and you can see
the traffic on Sherman Way on the overpasses, jammed. On
the freeways jammed as well. Northbound at four forty five
(21:43):
seems like a pretty a good amount of traffic and
a usual amount of traffic for that area.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Angel.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
What do you see on the five Freeway, Because you
can't go south on the five Freeway from the one
to seventy, you have to go north.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
What do you see on the northbound?
Speaker 10 (21:59):
Well, it's pretty heavy ahead that it opens up just
before the one eighteen, so it looks pretty crowded to
just about Terrabella and beyond you've got some more slowing
where the four h five merges into the five. All
the way to about Colgrove in the New Hall area.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Okay, all right, people going home to Santa Clarita, Palmdale,
the Lancaster, that whole run up there, that's always jammed,
always jammed up there.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Always.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's passing a storage, a place where they have storage units,
which is every other business in North Hollywood in that area,
every other business it's storage. People have all their craft
in storage, and they have it everywhere in that area. Boats, cars, clothes, furniture,
and they paid two three hundred bucks a month for
(22:48):
crap that they can't get rid of.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But they don't want their house either.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
At the old Carlon Bit.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Place for your stuff, that's right, a place for your stuff.
And then when you go, let's say, that's great.
Speaker 12 (23:00):
What do you think the odds are that this guy's
listening to you?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
In that kind of van am radio is probably the
only thing he does have. It's working, So.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I bet he is.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I bet he is.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Look, if I was running from the cops, i'd have
KFI on, you know, you would have to the hell.
He's using his turn signal like he's going to pull over,
but I don't see him actually pulling over.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
It's very law abiding that guy.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, I think he might be a duke in the
cops with that turn signal. And yet look another storage place,
another public storage place.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
They're all over that, all over that area.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Motor homes, boats, cars, furniture, all that crap.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It's all in that area, all of it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And if you are into storage, we had a storage
bind for a while. You go there the first time,
you know, every week or two and puts the stuff
in or take stuff out, and then you leave it
for nine years. Yes, it comes out of your checking
account or your credit card, and you get angry that
you're paying that one hundred and thirty dollars a month
and you never do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
It just stays there, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We're keeping an eye on this chase one seventy northbound
coming out of North Hollywood, approaching the five freeway. If
you're in that area, watch out. Copper's behind you and
traffic in front of you.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
You're listening to Tim conwaytunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
KFI AM six forty Conway show. We got a high
speed pursued. They have jumped off the freeway. He pulled
over like he was gonna give up, and he's he's
rolling again.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Is that a dog? Yeah, there's a dog in the car.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh a dog, Yeah, in the front seat and with
the seatbelt on.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It looks like it was in the center console at
one point. And I was like, is that his hand?
Because all I saw was the head. I thought it
was a hand or something like that. And now he's
in the passenger seat. And now he's pulled over again
on the side of the road dune. He's I believe,
on Roscoe or is that Sheldon.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
He's on Sheldon Street.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
He's right in between the one seventy and the five,
and he's traveling southbound.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now he's on the move again. He's moving out again.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He's coming up on he's on Shelton's moving southbound. Yes, yes, okay,
all right, all right. He's a shooting suspect. Yeah, I
got evidently allegedly shooting with the dog.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
I mean, he didn't shoot the dog, but he's got
the dog with him.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
He's got his dog. What happens in that case, what
happens to the dog?
Speaker 10 (25:22):
They take it to a shelter, Yeah, I think so,
animal control shelter.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Oh, that's sad.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
At the end part of evidence at that point.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, I know it's the witness. Yeah, but you know
that dog.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I think if it has a new owner, I might
sleep for a couple of days. You know, this guy
has him real busy. This guy's busied. That dog up
pretty good. He's got nine hundred cops behind him, four helicopters,
five helicopters over him, a lot of sirens, a lot
of lights, a lot of action. And that dog just
wants to eat and you know, take a duty. That's
(25:57):
only they do, eat, sleep and duty. I wish we
could all do that. I always thought, like, you know
our dog Earnie who recently passed away, and I really
missed that guy.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But man, he had it going. He had it going.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
He would sleep all day, he'd sleep twenty hours a day,
and then he'd get up to eat, go to the bathroom,
and then go to sleep. Man, does that guy I
had it made to be a dog manh Yeah, angry
as hell though, bid everybody.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
It's slowing down again on our Leda Avenue, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And he's I don't I don't know, I don't know
what what's going on with that back window there?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
What he did with it. Maybe maybe that's to pick
up chicks.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't know, maybe girls are into that, you know,
that kind of a custom door, and the paint job
on the hood is gonna need some attention.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
As well, black of you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, but the van has seen better days, you know.
I always think of that van rolled off a lot,
you know, eight nine, ten years ago, brand new had
its whole life in front of him. And now it's
being chased by cops and they're probably going to pit
this guy, and that dog is gonna go flying.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I can't tell he's either got he's got like the
dog's got like a vest on.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I wonder if they are they're more cautious about pitting
a car with a dog in it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Maybe, you know, especially if those cops have dogs, they
probably are. But it looks like that that dog has
a seatbelt done.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
That's what That's what I thought at first too.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I'm not sure I gotta give points for that.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
Did this guy steal this car? Because maybe the dog
was in the car when he.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
It's a little pug aug and I believe the driver
may be a female.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Really wow, wow, what's the sex of the dog? Anything? Nothing?
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Is it?
Speaker 12 (27:43):
Neutered.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Nothing on that, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
So we got at least one human and one dog,
and they're right now on Urlita Avenue in where is
that still?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
North Hollywood? Where is that? Are we going into silmrn
they were?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Or Sun Valley?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Our Lida Pacoima Osborn and is.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
That seven saying that it is our lida?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Seven says our lida. Five says our Lida. Yeah, no,
Arleita Avenue.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And then Montague Street.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
YadA da.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And old boats is the key for the backyards in
this area.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Old boats man. Three.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I think our lida means old boats in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And they're not on like boat trailers. They're just sitting.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, they've sold the trailer leading over whoa. And again
you know that boat at one point was new. People
are water skiing behind it. It was it looked great.
Now it's in Arleta on the ground. It's the word
boats go to die. Old boats man, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Where are you living? Old boats?
Speaker 11 (28:55):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
You're in our lida?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
How's it going good? Got all my crap in storage
and our leader all right? How's it going Not good?
Not good at all? Not good? The boat yeah, and
then the wash, do it yourself car washes. That's what
you get there. Our leader is home with her do
yourself car wash and storage. That's all you get out there.
Occasionally is seven to eleven, but mostly just self storage
(29:20):
and do it yourself car washes.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's that. Those are the staples of our leader.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Yeah. I think the dog has one of those those
little four point harnesses.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Okay, yeah, yeah, well that's good. I mean that's good.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The guy's concerned about his dog or whoever's dog that is,
or lady. Yeah, that van is I think it's over.
I think it's it's on its last legs. I don't
think that van could handle a pit. I don't think
that van can handle spikes either roll or just disintegrate.
I think that van is about to give its tires
(29:53):
up or hands up or something. It's not it's not. Oh,
he's gonna get on the freeway here, I bet or
she Yeah, she can get the freeway, so she's gonna
get back on the freeway here. I imagine it's gonna
be southbound on the one, seventy or the five, whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Freeway that is.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
I think that's a fine.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's a fine, okay, And we're gonna go southbound. Looks
like it might be southbound, whereas I five north.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
But again it's.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Gonna be slow, a slow moving to get a lot
of traffic.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Here, looks north again, right, it looks north.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
Looks nor there's the dog.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh my gosh, yeah, uh, look, the dog's probably you know,
he's got stories to tell now to other dogs.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Very rarely are they in high speed pursuits.
Speaker 12 (30:40):
It's a lot of street cred for a little dog
like that.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We'll keep an eye on this last or this lad
who's driving, and see what happens that dog. Maybe somebody
can adopt it, who knows. But I always feel bad
for the innocent people of the nocent in this case,
the innocent dog. It's sitting there with this with this woman,
and I don't know. Maybe that shield in the back
is for the dog. I'd keep the son out of
(31:05):
the dog's eyes. Who knows. But we are live on
a high speed pursuit LAPD northbound five Angel.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Is that true? Is that correct?
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Yes, yes, that's Terry five.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
We'll take a break, we'll come back with a high
speed pursuit live right here on KFI AM six forty Conway.
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can
