Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Doubt public Information Officer with the Ventura County Fire Department.
I'd like to start by providing you some quick updates
on the Mountain Fire incident. The Mountain Fire is currently
a twenty thousand, six hundred and thirty acres and fourteen
percent containment. There are over two thousand personnel currently engaged
in fighting this fire. VCFD has joined in unified command
(00:30):
with CalFire Incident Management Team five and we are incredibly
grateful for the teamwork for their teamwork and the support
of our mutual aid partners. Damage assessment teams are in
process of identifying and verifying the number of structures that
have been impacted.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Our thoughts are with all.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Members of the local Ventura County community through this devastating incident.
So a quick note on the format of our press conference.
Each of the speakers will be interted using themselves and
giving an update on their respective areas.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Of the incident.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'd like to ask to hold questions until the end,
and I'll bring the speakers up so we can address
them with questions Okay, I'd like to start with our
first speaker, Operation Section Chief, Battalion Chief Nick Cleary.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Again, this is an update on the Turkey.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Hopefully you can hear me again, Nick Cleary, Operation Section
Chief of the Turk County Fire. So a little stuff
that went on today. We're kind of on the heels.
Twenty eighteen, November eighth, we had the Wolsey Fire and
so today was the transition period for us.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
During the Wolsey Fire.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We had a significant east wind event that also transferred
back to an onshore flow and then back to an
east win event. We're kind of looking at those same conditions.
So today on the fire we had a very successful day.
We had that transfer from offshore flow to the onshore flow.
I'm going to kind of turn so you'll be looking
at my face and if you can focus on the
map down in Branch one Cameero Heights Cameroo Estates, there
was no perimeter growth. Crews continued to work on perimeter
(02:03):
perimeter control. Perimeter control has been kind of difficult because basically,
when you normally have a fire line, kind of going
direct with hand line tools and hose is not you know,
feasible in some of the areas in the camera estates
just due to it being driveways orchards, open brush fields, houses,
So the crews and hand cruis are picking between all
those different areas, trying to connect the dots and make
sure that perimeter is not going to grow.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Also within the perimeter, we.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Had engine companies actively mopping up all the damage structures
and any brush around the structures.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
That weren't damaged.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
They spent a lot of time there and it seems
like the calls for service from yesterday to day dropped significantly,
so the crews are doing good work. We also didn't
have that offshore flow kind of making some of that
ornamental brush be exposed, and so the crews were able
to actively get a lot of stuff put out going
into Branch five, so we'll say the Sataquoi Somus area
no growth on that main body of fire at all.
(02:54):
Crews continued to actively patrol and mop up in Division Golf,
Delta and Alpha. I told you guys yesterday Alpha and
Zulu on that eastern edge was going to be our
biggest pressure point for today. When we had that return
of onshore flow last night, the cruise were very successful.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
They were able to get.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Hand line and doser line connected basically from Stockton Road
on the south side of that east end all the
way to South Mountain Road on the north side of
the east end. They also reinforced it with fixed wing
retardant yesterday and then last night we flew the mobile
retardant base with our night flying helicopters and they reinforced
that line. So today, yesterday there was a lot of
fire activity on there with that offshore flow. Today there
(03:31):
was no fire activity on that line. It looked really
good and it held. So Cruise continued to monitor, patrol
and improve that line.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
And it was looking really good by the end of shift.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
The only activity we have a small orchard if you
see drop point six just above the Division Alpha that
has a bunch of mulch piles. That was the only
copters we flew today. It was kind of helping open
up some of those multchpiles, get some water in there
and kind of mop it up. So it's not going
to affect any houses or any of the orchards in
the area.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
As we're working.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Around South Mountain Road from the east side on the
north side of the fire, Zulu.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Whiskey and Papa.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The only activity we had was a little bit down
by the Todd Road jail, if you guys are familiar
with it.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
In the Santa Clara River bottom.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
We did have a spot fire there yesterday. They have
hose lines and crews engaged in there and they're still
working that. But when I was leaving the line today,
there's some significant smoke coming out of just white smoke.
It's all lined, but crews need to continue to mop
that up and be.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Vigilant with it.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
The plan for tonight is to continued again connecting the dots.
We need to keep using these resources with this advantageous
weather that we're having to get in there and make
sure we're mopping everything up as one hundred percent as
we can, so we're not going to have any secondary starts.
There's tons of islands of fuel. This fire burned. You
can see how we call it fingery. There's tons of fingers.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That came down.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So as that fire pushed through with that east wind,
there's a lot of unburned islands of fuel, and so
it's important for those crews to get in there and
engage those fuels, cut those fuels out, mop them up
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That's what they've been doing for the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
We are expecting and the transition of a possible another
moderate northeast wind event coming in next week, and so
we really want to make sure that this perimeter and
all the interior islands of unburned fuel are secure.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That's the update. I should have a good.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Night, Yeah, they are okay, good evening. My name is
Ryan Walbren. I'm the incident meteorologist. I work with the
National Weather Service. So just a few basic points. At
eleven o'clock this morning, that particularly dangerous red flag warning
was allowed to expire. When it expired, we saw the
(05:23):
return of the westerly or onshore winds. You heard Nick,
the Operations section chief use that terminology of onshore and
offshore for the residents out there.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Think about an onshore.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Wind, that means westerly or from the ocean, which generally
means a more moist or higher humidity air mass. And
when we use the term offshore, that's a dry wind
blowing from the land to the sea. So as we
move forward in time now tomorrow for Saturday, what we'll
see is really light winds in the morning and then
we'll get that westerly onshore wind. Usually that would bring
(05:55):
with it higher humidity. This Santa Ana was so strong
that it kind of blew that dry dry or well offshore.
So even though we're going to go on shore or
westerly tomorrow, we still expect humidity values to be very low,
roughly in that fifteen to twenty percent range. In terms
of fire weather, we always watch wind, we always watch
humidity because it impacts fuel moistures. So we do expect
(06:17):
conditions to be dry again tomorrow. High temperatures really in
the mid seventies or so, but we're just not too
concerned about the winds because the speeds are going to
continue to be light, perhaps sustained around ten miles an
hour with some afternoon gus fifteen to twenty Obviously that's
much lighter than what we saw during the red flag event.
And then as we go through the end of the
weekend into Sunday, I expect similar conditions, if anything, just
(06:39):
a few degrees of cooling on Sunday and a slight
uptick in the humidity. So that's a favorable element. So
the key thing through the weekend is lighter winds. No
concerns for any red flag events we did talk about.
As we head towards Monday Veterans Day, we are watching
an incoming weather system right now that would reach Northernkel
(07:00):
during the day and kind of approach this region Monday night.
I think for the most part at this time, again
that's still three to four days out. What it's going
to do is bring higher humidity, so that's favorable for
the fire environment and the more onshore wins. Now, when
we get behind that later into Tuesday, you heard the
reference to some potential more moderate northerly or offshore wins.
(07:22):
At this time, I would say it's very different setup
than what we just went through, So no concerns for
any type of a PDS red flag or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Kind of a more.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Seasonable kind of northerly offshore wind event. I think this
one would accompany cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
So you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I am six forty. It's Conway Show. We're gonna play
Angels request. But first, David Vassay with the Los Angeles
Dodgers is with us the say hey kid, bassay, hi.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
You bob, I'm doing great. I was actually just singing
that song with my daughter yesterday.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Conway, all right, how old your daughter now?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
She's in sixth grade and it is a Christmas crazy household.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I'm with you, buddy. Do you decorate? You go
full out?
Speaker 8 (08:17):
My wife does and the kids and I hang the
lights outside. You know, the dad duty there, Conway.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I get it. I get it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I Los Angeles Dodgers. I noticed that Key k Hernandez
took down his picture on social media of him wearing
a Dodger cap.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's not good news. What's that all about.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
He did that the last time too, where he puts
a profile picture where the team logo usually goes on
the front of the cap and puts a question mark. Right,
He's a free agent, Conway, and there's no guarantees that
he's coming back. Everybody would love to have key K back.
The Dodgers would love to have KEYK back. Key Gay
(09:00):
has expressed he wants to come back, but the business
of baseball sometimes gets in the way, so there's no guarantees.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I also hear that the Dodgers are looking at
a pretty unbelievable pitcher, a twenty five year old kid.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Hunh Yeah, his name's Roki Sasaki. He's actually I think
twenty two or twenty three. He's pitching in Japan. He
throws one hundred miles an hour and would be a
sensational addition at a minimal cost because he's leaving Japan
earlier than what usual Japanese players do to make big
(09:36):
money here in the States with Major League Baseball. Otani
did it and the Angels kept him for six years
because of that. So a lot of people feel like,
oh boy, the Dodgers are going to get this guy
at a bargain. Okay, so they could add him potentially
and also add an established major league starter, a two
(09:58):
times two times Cy Young Award winner, the great Blake Snell. Wow,
Dodgers have a lot of interest in my guy, Snell.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Villa Conway to him, buddy, this team could be much
much better next year.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
A lot of people are expecting that. You know, the
Dodgers have had this run of winning the Division twelve
out of the last thirteen years and also going to
the World Series four times in the last what seven
eight years? Now, they're talking about a dynasty because Otani
gave them a sweetheart deal where he deferred his contract.
(10:37):
He's only making two million dollars a year for the
next ten years, so that gives the Dodgers the flexibility
to surround Otani with a lot of good players.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's great, buddy, I saw something on Conway.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
Are you ready for that?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yes, I'm one hundred percent ready for it. You know,
I can't believe that Otani. You know, he reached the
fifty to fifty club, which is nobody's ever done in
a rehab year.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Yeah. Well, he just had left shoulder surgery to repair
the labrum he tore during the World Series, so that's
going to delay him to come back to pitch this
upcoming season. I don't see him coming back to pitch
for the Dodgers until June at the earliest because of
this surgery. It's not on his pitching arm, but still
(11:28):
all of it works together, and it's just going to
delay his throwing program a little bit. So I don't
see him coming back to pitch until June, which makes
it even more imperative for the Dodgers to go out
and get starting pitchers like Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, Snell would be unbelievable. What's happening with Kershaws? Are
you gonna come back?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yeah? Kershaw actually had surgery too. I mean doctor Neil Elatrosh,
who was the best orthopedic surgeon in the world. Conway
has had a very busy week with high profile players.
He not only performed surgery on Otani's left shoulder, but
the day after, on Wednesday, had to perform knee surgery
(12:11):
on Kershaw. And I guess Kershaw did it two for
one because he needed foot surgery. So while he was
under anesthesia, they had the knee meniscus repaired, and then
the foot doctor came in to fix his foot. So
he's going to be back next year. He won't be
ready for opening Day either, right, which means the Dodgers
(12:31):
need Blake Snell even more.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know who's available as well. I don't know if
the Dodgers can get him or not. No, a guy
named Tim Walls.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Tim Walls, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's a guy who's available. Now, Hey, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
I saw your cousin, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
My cousin.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I saw a scouting report right before the World Series
that said put the ball in play against the Yankee
and they'll self destruct.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
So Dodgers had that scattering report. They they understood that
the Yankees were below par defensively. Wow. If you go
back to the Knight, Freddie Freeman hit his historic walk
off brand Slam in Game one of the World Series.
The only reason why that game was tied was because
the Yankee second basement couldn't keep a throw from the
(13:25):
outfield in front of him, which allowed Otani's third base
a scoured on a sacrifice fly to tie the game.
If they keep Otani at second base, the Yankees are
still leading two to one and it may never get
to extra innings.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Man, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Hey, so this fifth the fifth inning where the Dodgers
scored five unearned runs, that is I think, and you
know more than I do. I think that's the most
unearned runs earned in one inning in any World Series?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Is that correct?
Speaker 8 (14:00):
And Freddie Freeman's grand Slam, by the way, Conway is
the first ever walk off grand Slam in World Series history.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
But you know what, but the Dodgers, but the Dodgers
had to win the World Series for us to keep
talking about that. If the Dodgers. If the Yankees came
back and won that World Series, we'd never talk about
that that hit anymore, No.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
You never would. It would be one of those hits
where it kind of would be the Jerry West syndrome
where he won the NBA Finals MVP, even though the
Celtics beat the Lakers again in nineteen sixty nine. That's
how it would have felt. But similar to Kirk Gibson's
home run against the A's in Game one of the
eighty eight World Series. You felt like that walk off
(14:42):
Grand Slam kind of beat the Yankees that night in
Game one. Yeah, and he come back with Buehler the
next night, similar to or not Bueller. Yamamoto the next
night shut down the Yankees offensively, similar to the way
Oral Herscheizer shut down the A's in Game two after
Gibson so Roics. All of that had a lot of
(15:04):
similarities in parallel.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know, for the for the Dodgers to beat the
padres to you know, when they were down by two
games and then to go on to beat both New
York teams is an incredible run.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You think at this Dodger run this year, Conway ninety
eight wins the most and Major League Baseball this year.
Then they beat the team that probably was the only
other team that should have been in the World Series,
the San Diego Padres. Then they beat the hottest team
in baseball, the New York Mets, and then come back
to beat the team with the best record in the
(15:41):
American League, the New York Yankees. I know it wasn't
maybe the best pitching staff top to bottom, but you
have to put the Dodgers up there with the ninety
eight Yankees as one of the best teams to win
the World Series in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It was great, Buddy, I loved it. I went to
the Dodger celebration at Dodger Stadium. Bellio got me a
pass and snuck me in there, and that was one
of the greatest runs ever. I went home every night
and I'd watch it on TV, and I'd get nervous,
so I'd have to get in the car and drive
around and listen to Rick Monday. I would drive to
Valencia and just listen to it all the way out there,
(16:20):
go to Low's, and then get the car and drive
back just to listen to I needed to hear Rick
Monday's voice call that game.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
Always the soothing, calming voice you always need no matter
how crazy the game gets. It's exactly right, especially since
Stephen Nelson's so emotional. Rick's the calming voice in that boost.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hey, you know when the Kings won the Stanley Cup
in twenty twelve and again in twenty fourteen, they each
had the Cup for three or four days, you know
throughout the off season. Did they do a similar thing
with the trophy for the World Series.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No, that's the only sport where they give the Stanley
Cup to a player for a day to do whatever
they want up for it.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
The Dodgers actually had a photo day with the trophy
for their employees at Dodger Stadium yesterday, So that was
pretty cool too. The employees that make the organization run
on a day to day.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Basis, and they treat them well, are not part of.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
The everyday you know field staff. That that's a nice touch.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Thereat It's treated me very well.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And I got to see I've never seen this before,
but I remember being in my car driving from San
Diego to back to Los Angeles when at where I
was living and listening to Vince Scully called the no
hitter for Fernando Alveezuela and then and then I'd never
I'd never seen the Cy Young Award, but it's on
display there at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Yeah, they have a who should be a future Hall
of Famer, Jane Marie Smith. When the Dodger ownership group
took over, they brought her in. She's the reason for
all the great renovations and upgrades at Dodgers Medium and
all that is her touch. And in case you don't
know about Jane Murty Smith, she was the architect of
Camden Yards in Baltimore, and she was the one that
(18:05):
helped the upgrades of Fenway Park in Boston, including putting
those seats at the top of the Green Monster. So
she definitely will be in the Hall of Fame one
day for her contributions.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And lastly, I love the touch at Dodgers Stadium where
they got rid of the old signs you know Aisle
thirty eight, you know bathrooms, restrooms, snacks, whatever, and they
kept those old metal signs and they put them all
up on display there.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think that's a great touch.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
That's all Jenne Marie Smith. I mean, there is so
much history and the Dodgers had a huge storage room, Conway,
and they just had so much history in that storage.
She did the right thing to display all that they had,
the trunks that were used back in Brooklyn when players
used to ship their stuff to Vero Beach. There's just
(18:51):
so much history now that is displayed with such a
rich franchise like the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Buddy, congratulations. I can't wait to see the ring that
they give you. And you deserve it and we always
are thrilled. Deb you come on, come on any night
and enjoy the off season.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
You deserve it, Buddy Conway, When the Dodgers signed Blake Snell,
can I come on to celebrate?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, Okay, say hi to the kids and your wife,
and Merry Christmas.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Buddy, Hey, last Christmas, I gave you my heart. Conway.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:23):

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Doubt public Information Officer with the Ventura County Fire Department.
I'd like to start by providing you some quick updates
on the Mountain Fire incident. The Mountain Fire is currently
a twenty thousand, six hundred and thirty acres and fourteen
percent containment. There are over two thousand personnel currently engaged
in fighting this fire. VCFD has joined in unified command
(00:30):
with CalFire Incident Management Team five and we are incredibly
grateful for the teamwork for their teamwork and the support
of our mutual aid partners. Damage assessment teams are in
process of identifying and verifying the number of structures that
have been impacted.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Our thoughts are with all.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Members of the local Ventura County community through this devastating incident.
So a quick note on the format of our press conference.
Each of the speakers will be interted using themselves and
giving an update on their respective areas.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Of the incident.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'd like to ask to hold questions until the end,
and I'll bring the speakers up so we can address
them with questions Okay, I'd like to start with our
first speaker, Operation Section Chief, Battalion Chief Nick Cleary.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Again, this is an update on the Turkey.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Hopefully you can hear me again, Nick Cleary, Operation Section
Chief of the Turk County Fire. So a little stuff
that went on today. We're kind of on the heels.
Twenty eighteen, November eighth, we had the Wolsey Fire and
so today was the transition period for us.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
During the Wolsey Fire.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
We had a significant east wind event that also transferred
back to an onshore flow and then back to an
east win event. We're kind of looking at those same conditions.
So today on the fire we had a very successful day.
We had that transfer from offshore flow to the onshore flow.
I'm going to kind of turn so you'll be looking
at my face and if you can focus on the
map down in Branch one Cameero Heights Cameroo Estates, there
was no perimeter growth. Crews continued to work on perimeter
(02:03):
perimeter control. Perimeter control has been kind of difficult because basically,
when you normally have a fire line, kind of going
direct with hand line tools and hose is not you know,
feasible in some of the areas in the camera estates
just due to it being driveways orchards, open brush fields, houses,
So the crews and hand cruis are picking between all
those different areas, trying to connect the dots and make
sure that perimeter is not going to grow.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Also within the perimeter, we.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Had engine companies actively mopping up all the damage structures
and any brush around the structures.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
That weren't damaged.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
They spent a lot of time there and it seems
like the calls for service from yesterday to day dropped significantly,
so the crews are doing good work. We also didn't
have that offshore flow kind of making some of that
ornamental brush be exposed, and so the crews were able
to actively get a lot of stuff put out going
into Branch five, so we'll say the Sataquoi Somus area
no growth on that main body of fire at all.
(02:54):
Crews continued to actively patrol and mop up in Division Golf,
Delta and Alpha. I told you guys yesterday Alpha and
Zulu on that eastern edge was going to be our
biggest pressure point for today. When we had that return
of onshore flow last night, the cruise were very successful.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
They were able to get.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Hand line and doser line connected basically from Stockton Road
on the south side of that east end all the
way to South Mountain Road on the north side of
the east end. They also reinforced it with fixed wing
retardant yesterday and then last night we flew the mobile
retardant base with our night flying helicopters and they reinforced
that line. So today, yesterday there was a lot of
fire activity on there with that offshore flow. Today there
(03:31):
was no fire activity on that line. It looked really
good and it held. So Cruise continued to monitor, patrol
and improve that line.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
And it was looking really good by the end of shift.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
The only activity we have a small orchard if you
see drop point six just above the Division Alpha that
has a bunch of mulch piles. That was the only
copters we flew today. It was kind of helping open
up some of those multchpiles, get some water in there
and kind of mop it up. So it's not going
to affect any houses or any of the orchards in
the area.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
As we're working.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Around South Mountain Road from the east side on the
north side of the fire, Zulu.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Whiskey and Papa.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The only activity we had was a little bit down
by the Todd Road jail, if you guys are familiar
with it.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
In the Santa Clara River bottom.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
We did have a spot fire there yesterday. They have
hose lines and crews engaged in there and they're still
working that. But when I was leaving the line today,
there's some significant smoke coming out of just white smoke.
It's all lined, but crews need to continue to mop
that up and be.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Vigilant with it.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
The plan for tonight is to continued again connecting the dots.
We need to keep using these resources with this advantageous
weather that we're having to get in there and make
sure we're mopping everything up as one hundred percent as
we can, so we're not going to have any secondary starts.
There's tons of islands of fuel. This fire burned. You
can see how we call it fingery. There's tons of fingers.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
That came down.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So as that fire pushed through with that east wind,
there's a lot of unburned islands of fuel, and so
it's important for those crews to get in there and
engage those fuels, cut those fuels out, mop them up
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That's what they've been doing for the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
We are expecting and the transition of a possible another
moderate northeast wind event coming in next week, and so
we really want to make sure that this perimeter and
all the interior islands of unburned fuel are secure.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That's the update. I should have a good.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Night, Yeah, they are okay, good evening. My name is
Ryan Walbren. I'm the incident meteorologist. I work with the
National Weather Service. So just a few basic points. At
eleven o'clock this morning, that particularly dangerous red flag warning
was allowed to expire. When it expired, we saw the
(05:23):
return of the westerly or onshore winds. You heard Nick,
the Operations section chief use that terminology of onshore and
offshore for the residents out there.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Think about an onshore.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Wind, that means westerly or from the ocean, which generally
means a more moist or higher humidity air mass. And
when we use the term offshore, that's a dry wind
blowing from the land to the sea. So as we
move forward in time now tomorrow for Saturday, what we'll
see is really light winds in the morning and then
we'll get that westerly onshore wind. Usually that would bring
(05:55):
with it higher humidity. This Santa Ana was so strong
that it kind of blew that dry dry or well offshore.
So even though we're going to go on shore or
westerly tomorrow, we still expect humidity values to be very low,
roughly in that fifteen to twenty percent range. In terms
of fire weather, we always watch wind, we always watch
humidity because it impacts fuel moistures. So we do expect
(06:17):
conditions to be dry again tomorrow. High temperatures really in
the mid seventies or so, but we're just not too
concerned about the winds because the speeds are going to
continue to be light, perhaps sustained around ten miles an
hour with some afternoon gus fifteen to twenty Obviously that's
much lighter than what we saw during the red flag event.
And then as we go through the end of the
weekend into Sunday, I expect similar conditions, if anything, just
(06:39):
a few degrees of cooling on Sunday and a slight
uptick in the humidity. So that's a favorable element. So
the key thing through the weekend is lighter winds. No
concerns for any red flag events we did talk about.
As we head towards Monday Veterans Day, we are watching
an incoming weather system right now that would reach Northernkel
(07:00):
during the day and kind of approach this region Monday night.
I think for the most part at this time, again
that's still three to four days out. What it's going
to do is bring higher humidity, so that's favorable for
the fire environment and the more onshore wins. Now, when
we get behind that later into Tuesday, you heard the
reference to some potential more moderate northerly or offshore wins.
(07:22):
At this time, I would say it's very different setup
than what we just went through, So no concerns for
any type of a PDS red flag or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Kind of a more.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Seasonable kind of northerly offshore wind event. I think this
one would accompany cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
So you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I am six forty. It's Conway Show. We're gonna play
Angels request. But first, David Vassay with the Los Angeles
Dodgers is with us the say hey kid, bassay, hi.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
You bob, I'm doing great. I was actually just singing
that song with my daughter yesterday.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Conway, all right, how old your daughter now?
Speaker 8 (08:07):
She's in sixth grade and it is a Christmas crazy household.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I'm with you, buddy. Do you decorate? You go
full out?
Speaker 8 (08:17):
My wife does and the kids and I hang the
lights outside. You know, the dad duty there, Conway.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I get it. I get it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I Los Angeles Dodgers. I noticed that Key k Hernandez
took down his picture on social media of him wearing
a Dodger cap.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's not good news. What's that all about.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
He did that the last time too, where he puts
a profile picture where the team logo usually goes on
the front of the cap and puts a question mark. Right,
He's a free agent, Conway, and there's no guarantees that
he's coming back. Everybody would love to have key K back.
The Dodgers would love to have KEYK back. Key Gay
(09:00):
has expressed he wants to come back, but the business
of baseball sometimes gets in the way, so there's no guarantees.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I also hear that the Dodgers are looking at
a pretty unbelievable pitcher, a twenty five year old kid.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Hunh Yeah, his name's Roki Sasaki. He's actually I think
twenty two or twenty three. He's pitching in Japan. He
throws one hundred miles an hour and would be a
sensational addition at a minimal cost because he's leaving Japan
earlier than what usual Japanese players do to make big
(09:36):
money here in the States with Major League Baseball. Otani
did it and the Angels kept him for six years
because of that. So a lot of people feel like,
oh boy, the Dodgers are going to get this guy
at a bargain. Okay, so they could add him potentially
and also add an established major league starter, a two
(09:58):
times two times Cy Young Award winner, the great Blake Snell. Wow,
Dodgers have a lot of interest in my guy, Snell.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Villa Conway to him, buddy, this team could be much
much better next year.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
A lot of people are expecting that. You know, the
Dodgers have had this run of winning the Division twelve
out of the last thirteen years and also going to
the World Series four times in the last what seven
eight years? Now, they're talking about a dynasty because Otani
gave them a sweetheart deal where he deferred his contract.
(10:37):
He's only making two million dollars a year for the
next ten years, so that gives the Dodgers the flexibility
to surround Otani with a lot of good players.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's great, buddy, I saw something on Conway.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
Are you ready for that?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yes, I'm one hundred percent ready for it. You know,
I can't believe that Otani. You know, he reached the
fifty to fifty club, which is nobody's ever done in
a rehab year.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Yeah. Well, he just had left shoulder surgery to repair
the labrum he tore during the World Series, so that's
going to delay him to come back to pitch this
upcoming season. I don't see him coming back to pitch
for the Dodgers until June at the earliest because of
this surgery. It's not on his pitching arm, but still
(11:28):
all of it works together, and it's just going to
delay his throwing program a little bit. So I don't
see him coming back to pitch until June, which makes
it even more imperative for the Dodgers to go out
and get starting pitchers like Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, Snell would be unbelievable. What's happening with Kershaws? Are
you gonna come back?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yeah? Kershaw actually had surgery too. I mean doctor Neil Elatrosh,
who was the best orthopedic surgeon in the world. Conway
has had a very busy week with high profile players.
He not only performed surgery on Otani's left shoulder, but
the day after, on Wednesday, had to perform knee surgery
(12:11):
on Kershaw. And I guess Kershaw did it two for
one because he needed foot surgery. So while he was
under anesthesia, they had the knee meniscus repaired, and then
the foot doctor came in to fix his foot. So
he's going to be back next year. He won't be
ready for opening Day either, right, which means the Dodgers
(12:31):
need Blake Snell even more.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know who's available as well. I don't know if
the Dodgers can get him or not. No, a guy
named Tim Walls.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Tim Walls, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's a guy who's available. Now, Hey, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
I saw your cousin, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
My cousin.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I saw a scouting report right before the World Series
that said put the ball in play against the Yankee
and they'll self destruct.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
So Dodgers had that scattering report. They they understood that
the Yankees were below par defensively. Wow. If you go
back to the Knight, Freddie Freeman hit his historic walk
off brand Slam in Game one of the World Series.
The only reason why that game was tied was because
the Yankee second basement couldn't keep a throw from the
(13:25):
outfield in front of him, which allowed Otani's third base
a scoured on a sacrifice fly to tie the game.
If they keep Otani at second base, the Yankees are
still leading two to one and it may never get
to extra innings.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Man, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Hey, so this fifth the fifth inning where the Dodgers
scored five unearned runs, that is I think, and you
know more than I do. I think that's the most
unearned runs earned in one inning in any World Series?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Is that correct?
Speaker 8 (14:00):
And Freddie Freeman's grand Slam, by the way, Conway is
the first ever walk off grand Slam in World Series history.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
But you know what, but the Dodgers, but the Dodgers
had to win the World Series for us to keep
talking about that. If the Dodgers. If the Yankees came
back and won that World Series, we'd never talk about
that that hit anymore, No.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
You never would. It would be one of those hits
where it kind of would be the Jerry West syndrome
where he won the NBA Finals MVP, even though the
Celtics beat the Lakers again in nineteen sixty nine. That's
how it would have felt. But similar to Kirk Gibson's
home run against the A's in Game one of the
eighty eight World Series. You felt like that walk off
(14:42):
Grand Slam kind of beat the Yankees that night in
Game one. Yeah, and he come back with Buehler the
next night, similar to or not Bueller. Yamamoto the next
night shut down the Yankees offensively, similar to the way
Oral Herscheizer shut down the A's in Game two after
Gibson so Roics. All of that had a lot of
(15:04):
similarities in parallel.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know, for the for the Dodgers to beat the
padres to you know, when they were down by two
games and then to go on to beat both New
York teams is an incredible run.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You think at this Dodger run this year, Conway ninety
eight wins the most and Major League Baseball this year.
Then they beat the team that probably was the only
other team that should have been in the World Series,
the San Diego Padres. Then they beat the hottest team
in baseball, the New York Mets, and then come back
to beat the team with the best record in the
(15:41):
American League, the New York Yankees. I know it wasn't
maybe the best pitching staff top to bottom, but you
have to put the Dodgers up there with the ninety
eight Yankees as one of the best teams to win
the World Series in the last twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It was great, Buddy, I loved it. I went to
the Dodger celebration at Dodger Stadium. Bellio got me a
pass and snuck me in there, and that was one
of the greatest runs ever. I went home every night
and I'd watch it on TV, and I'd get nervous,
so I'd have to get in the car and drive
around and listen to Rick Monday. I would drive to
Valencia and just listen to it all the way out there,
(16:20):
go to Low's, and then get the car and drive
back just to listen to I needed to hear Rick
Monday's voice call that game.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
Always the soothing, calming voice you always need no matter
how crazy the game gets. It's exactly right, especially since
Stephen Nelson's so emotional. Rick's the calming voice in that boost.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hey, you know when the Kings won the Stanley Cup
in twenty twelve and again in twenty fourteen, they each
had the Cup for three or four days, you know
throughout the off season. Did they do a similar thing
with the trophy for the World Series.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No, that's the only sport where they give the Stanley
Cup to a player for a day to do whatever
they want up for it.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
The Dodgers actually had a photo day with the trophy
for their employees at Dodger Stadium yesterday, So that was
pretty cool too. The employees that make the organization run
on a day to day.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Basis, and they treat them well, are not part of.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
The everyday you know field staff. That that's a nice touch.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Thereat It's treated me very well.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And I got to see I've never seen this before,
but I remember being in my car driving from San
Diego to back to Los Angeles when at where I
was living and listening to Vince Scully called the no
hitter for Fernando Alveezuela and then and then I'd never
I'd never seen the Cy Young Award, but it's on
display there at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Yeah, they have a who should be a future Hall
of Famer, Jane Marie Smith. When the Dodger ownership group
took over, they brought her in. She's the reason for
all the great renovations and upgrades at Dodgers Medium and
all that is her touch. And in case you don't
know about Jane Murty Smith, she was the architect of
Camden Yards in Baltimore, and she was the one that
(18:05):
helped the upgrades of Fenway Park in Boston, including putting
those seats at the top of the Green Monster. So
she definitely will be in the Hall of Fame one
day for her contributions.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And lastly, I love the touch at Dodgers Stadium where
they got rid of the old signs you know Aisle
thirty eight, you know bathrooms, restrooms, snacks, whatever, and they
kept those old metal signs and they put them all
up on display there.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think that's a great touch.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
That's all Jenne Marie Smith. I mean, there is so
much history and the Dodgers had a huge storage room, Conway,
and they just had so much history in that storage.
She did the right thing to display all that they had,
the trunks that were used back in Brooklyn when players
used to ship their stuff to Vero Beach. There's just
(18:51):
so much history now that is displayed with such a
rich franchise like the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Buddy, congratulations. I can't wait to see the ring that
they give you. And you deserve it and we always
are thrilled. Deb you come on, come on any night
and enjoy the off season.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
You deserve it, Buddy Conway, When the Dodgers signed Blake Snell,
can I come on to celebrate?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, Okay, say hi to the kids and your wife,
and Merry Christmas.
