Jim chokes up while sharing his experience of driving through a wall of fire while trying to escape the Bootleg Fire.

He & his partner Pam r among the 100+ ppl who've lost their homes & vehicles in what remains the largest burning fire in the US.

He stole a school bus, drove it across the state, ditched it, hitchhiked, stole a front-end loader, then flipped a car into a structure near his home before crashing into his house. He did it all while wearing a sundress. Police couldn't chase him.

Houston, Texas: Up to 20 people were found in a Houston apartment in what police believe to be a human smuggling investigation. Houston police said they were notified of the people inside an apartment around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The department shared that officers were headed to an apartment complex at 6400 South Gessner Road. Details regarding the victims' condition and their discovery were not immediately available.

Cleveland, Ohio: Fight over flag honoring fallen Cleveland officer. The FOX 8 I TEAM is getting to the bottom of yet another fight over a thin blue line flag meant to honor police officers. This one hangs along I-90 on the west side as you enter Cleveland. The flag was put up to honor David Fahey, a Cleveland Police officer killed in the line of duty in 2017. However, the Ohio Department of Transportation says that the flag has to come down. A highway sign there states that the section of the freeway has been named for officer Fahey, but under the sign, you can see a personalized thin blue line flag with the officer’s badge number. Fellow officers put it up. (Read more.)
