Before firefighters had even arrived, teachers and students from Rosa Parks Elementary watched as smoke was coming out of the residential building.

The schoolyard is right behind the apartment complex.

“I yelled for my amazing co-workers to clear the yard and move the kids away from the fire,” said Cicily Ina-Lee a teacher who, along with her colleague Vincent Reyes, ran toward the apartments.

Both teachers pulled down the fire escape ladders. Reyes went inside to rescue residents.

“I went inside the building here when the fire first started. I saw the fire it was pretty heavy on the roof and that’s when I saw the last person hopefully come out of the building,” Reyes explained.

One of the residents, who did not want to give us her name, described the teachers’ efforts. “And they were screaming and knocking and calling and trying to get us out and when the doors opened they went in and rescued the old people. They were fantastic,” the resident said. She managed to take her two parakeets with her.

Josh Gant was walking in the area when he saw some of the other victims being taken away.

“They were bringing one lady out, she was burnt really badly on her face and hands. Then they brought another lady out, she had smoke all over her and they brought another lady out, smoke all over her, and they were all like 80 years old, I guess,” added Gant.

Eighteen people were displaced in what exhausted firefighters described as a fast-moving blaze. It was a rescue effort aided by two teachers who thought of their neighbors first.

“We’re teachers, so we care about other people. Hopefully anybody would do the same things,” said Reyes.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The post Folks Rescued From Burning Constructing in San Francisco – NBC Bay Space appeared first on Los Gatos News And Events.

It may not have been pretty, but the San Francisco 49ers are progressing into the NFC playoffs after beating Dallas 23-17 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

San Francisco dominated the first three quarters of the game and led 23-7 at the start of the final period.

A fake punt by Dallas and an interception by Jimmy Garoppolo allowed the Cowboys to close at six.

San Francisco played without Nick Bosa, who suffered a concussion in the second quarter, and Fred Warner, who went down with an ankle injury, and made two big saves to secure the win.

San Francisco will travel to Green Bay next week to take on the Packers.

Here are the answers to the five questions we asked on Saturday:

1. Can the 49ers hold the football? no

With a Cowboys team that forced the most turnovers in the NFL this season, San Francisco was unable to play a clean game offensively. The 49ers’ only turnover came when Jimmy Garoppolo was intercepted by Anthony Brown in the fourth quarter with just under 10 minutes to go.

Luckily for the 49ers, Dak Prescott was also in a giving mood.

Late in the third quarter, K’Waun Williams picked up a Prescott pass intended for Cedric Wilson.

Garoppolo and Prescott’s interceptions would result in touchdowns, leveling each other out.

2. Will Jimmy Garoppolo advance to the playoffs in his second trip? Yes and no

It was a story of two halves for Jimmy Garoppolo, who finished the game on 16 of 25 for 172 yards and an interception.

Garoppolo was on the money for much of the first half, hitting several key shots to move the sticks and leading San Francisco’s offense to points on the first four possessions of the game to a 16-7 first-half lead build up.

The second half was a different story as Garoppolo made several errors that nearly cost San Francisco the game.

Garoppolo’s first error came with less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter and San Francisco in third and tenth. Garoppolo had Brandon Aiyuk open on a deep post corner for a big win, but his throw would sail incompletely over Aiyuk’s head. Dallas would get a field goal to draw within 13 on the next drive.

Garoppolo’s second mistake would happen on next possession. With the ball at the 44, Garoppolo would roll to the right and open Trent Sherfield. The ball would sail high, and Cowboys defenseman Anthony Brown would come up with the interception to place Dallas deep in San Francisco territory. The ensuing drive would end with the Cowboys getting into the end zone to get to six.

Garoppolo, with just 40 seconds left and only 40 seconds left, was fourth and inches, hitting the late-game trifecta by rushing the snap and not allowing Trent Williams to sit down after failing at one quarterback sneak from right to left. Instead of ending the game, San Francisco would be forced to return the ball to Dallas one last time.

That last mistake should never have happened. With the game balanced, Kyle Shanahan was a little too cute when he asked Williams to move. San Francisco has been very good at running quarterback sneaks all season, it wasn’t necessary given the situation and it almost cost them.

3. Can San Francisco take advantage of the Cowboys’ run defense? Yes

As in the second half of the season, San Francisco was able to be successful with its running game.

Led by Elijah Mitchell and Deebo Samuel, the 49ers offense hauled the ball for 169 yards in 38 tries against Dallas.

Mitchell was a workhorse for San Francisco during his rookie season. Against Dallas, Mitchell would carry the ball 27 times for 96 yards and the game’s first touchdown. This was the sixth straight game with 21 or more carries for Mitchell.

Deebo Samuel had no intention of letting the newcomer show him off. Earlier this week, Samuel called himself a “wide-back,” a wide receiver who plays running back. Against Dallas, the 49ers wide back carried the ball for 72 yards ten times, including a 26-yard burst, to give the 49ers a 23-7 lead in the third quarter.

San Francisco is now 7-0 if Samuel has at least six carries in a game.

4. Will San Francisco be able to contain the Cowboys’ passing game? Yes

The 49ers’ pass defense was extremely good throughout the second half of the season. They kept the Los Angeles Rams under 300 yards in both encounters, Cincinnati needed overtime to surpass that mark, and on Sunday they held Dak Prescott and the league’s top scorer by just 230 yards.

It starts in front for San Francisco. The 49ers pass rush, led by Arik Armstead and Charles Omenihu, was able to hit Prescott 14 times and fire the Cowboys quarterback five times.

After Nick Bosa was out with a concussion, Omenihu, acquired before the deadline in a trade with the Houston Texans, stepped in to record 1.5 sacks and three hits from Prescott. No matter what happens in the rest of the playoffs, Omenihu’s performance today made the trade worth it.

While the pass rush was busy chasing Prescott, K’Waun Williams made what looked like a game-winning play when he intercepted a Prescott pass at the Cowboys’ 26-yard line.

49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans also deserves credit here.

Playing without Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, Ryans claimed total blitz late in the fourth quarter, with Dallas in fourth and 11th. Though the pressure didn’t reach Prescott, it forced him to simply throw a prayer that would be incomplete and, for now, looks like it will seal the game for San Francisco.

Ryans displayed excellent awareness in the game’s waning moments. Realizing the only way to stop the clock was to throw passes toward the touchline, Ryans instructed his linebackers and secondary to line up along the boundary and leave center field wide open.

Prescott would use this alignment to sprint to center field for a 17-yard gain. With the clock running, the Cowboys failed to spike the ball in time to stop the clock for one final play to the end zone.

5. Can the 49ers Defense Control the Line of Scrimmage? Yes

San Francisco came into play after keeping opposing offenses under 100 yards in nine straight games. Against Dallas, the 49ers extended that streak to 10 and held the Cowboys to just 77 yards with 21 carries.

Dre Greenlaw set the tone on the second play, dropping Ezekiel Elliott with a three-loss. The linebacker group for San Francisco had a great game as Greenlaw, Azeez Al-Shaair and Fred Warner all recorded five tackles.

Mark Chilman was found guilty Thursday. (PA)

A craftsman was found guilty of murdering his ex’s new partner by knocking him unconscious and burning him alive in his car.

Mark Chilman, 52, faces life imprisonment after being convicted of the murder of 66-year-old former CEO Neil Parkinson.

He hit Parkinson with an unknown gun before knocking him out in his 4×4 car and setting it on fire to cover up his crime as suicide.

Parkinson’s body was discovered in a burning BMW X5 at a Worcestershire rest area on December 12th last year.

Neil Parkinson was on his way home before being attacked by Chilman. (SWNS)

The jury was told how Chilman attacked Parkinson after finding out he was in a relationship with his ex-partner Juliet Adcock.

The couple had split in June last year, but Chilman remained “obsessed” with Adcock.

The court heard Chilman use a tracker on her car to follow her and steal her underwear after she broke into her home.

Chilman was on trial in Worcester Crown Court for murder and found guilty Thursday.

The defendant bowed his head and closed his eyes when he learned of his fate.

Police at the scene. (SWNS)

He is expected to face life imprisonment if sentenced next week.

The court was told how Chilman lay in wait before attacking his victim and hitting him on the back of the head with a heavy object such as a hammer.

Parkinson had been on his way home to take care of his elderly mother after spending the evening with Adcock.

Chilman drove his unconscious corpse to a rest stop and set it on fire in the driver’s seat of his car with around 40 liters of gasoline from two stolen canisters.

The jury was told how he intentionally centered the fire around his body and staged it as if he had committed suicide.

The crime occurred in December last year. (SWNS)

An autopsy revealed that Parkinson’s had a fractured skull and was still alive when he was put in the driver’s seat of the car before it was set on fire.

The story goes on

Chilman later sent Adcock a “suicide text” pretending to be from Parkinson’s in which he wrote, “I lead a double life. I use and abuse woman [sic]. “

But Adcock said she knew the message was not written by her partner because of the “appalling” spelling and grammar.

He also sent other fake text messages pretending to be Parkinson’s disease claiming he had sexual relations with three other women.

The court was told that Chilman was still obsessed with Adcock and bought the same perfume as she sprayed on clothes he stole from her.

When they were together, Chilman wrote love messages in her lipstick on her bedroom and bathroom mirror that said, “I love you forever.”

He also left a noose to “hang up” and put a sledgehammer on the farm and a tracking device on her car because he suspected she was “having an affair”.

RENO (AP) – Burning Man’s cancellation for the second year has met with mixed reactions in northern Nevada. Some companies and tourism officials say they will miss out on the festival-goers’ economic boom, but health officials are glad they will not do anything to increase the risk of the spread of COVID-19.

The counterculture festival in the Black Rock Desert, about 100 miles north of Reno, typically attracts nearly 80,000 people, who spend an estimated $ 63 million in Nevada.

Officials at Reno-Tahoe International Airport were among those hoping the event would return in late August after last year’s cancellation due to the pandemic.

“Let’s be honest, our world needs Burning Man now. If you want to celebrate that a pandemic breaks out, Burning Man is perfect, ”said airport spokesman Brian Kulpin.

“We missed her last year and we will miss her again this year,” he told the Reno Gazette Journal.

Health officials’ concerns were based in part on the fact that the event draws people from around the world to locations with a wide variety of COVID-19 cases, vaccination rates, and virus variants.

“I’m sure it was a tough decision to cancel Burning Man this year, but I think the right call was made in terms of public safety and reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission” said Kevin Dick, district health officer for Washoe County.

According to Dick, health officials are seeing outbreaks of COVID-19 in a number of countries, “in areas where highly contagious COVID-19 variants are of concern and where vaccination rates are low”.

Janet Davis, chairwoman of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, shared these concerns as most of the burners traverse the tribe’s reservation to get to the Playa Desert.

“We are trying to protect our people and that influx of people would be a risk to our tribe,” said Davis.

Davis said that after speaking with Burning Man organizers earlier this year, she felt confident the event was moving forward. She believes the recent cuts in vaccination rates and the unknowns involving participants from abroad likely led to the cancellation.

“It’s a mixed blessing,” said Davis, finding tribal businesses will miss out on the seasonal spike in sales.

Many Reno companies – from hardware stores to grocery stores – see their best sales reports in August, largely due to Burning Man, but most local businesses seem to get the decision.

Lisa Martin runs the Melting Pot World Emporium, a eclectic midtown boutique that caters to Burners’ needs for things that are blurry and colorful.

CONTINUE READING: Woman killed in Cupertino late at night suspected of DUI crash

For several years now, the shop has not relied on Brenner anyway, as many of them shop online.

“We have more home decor and incense and lots of sage,” said Martin.

Despite the cancellation of the official event, at least one community, Gerlach, plans to welcome Burners en masse.

About 3,000 to 5,000 distillers gathered on Black Rock Desert Playa last year to celebrate. They brought in a number of art installations, art cars, and even some makeshift representations of the “man”. Some graciously called the gathering “Not Burning Man”.

Lacey Holle, who owns Bruno’s Country Club in Gerlach, said she was hoping for the same this year.

“Our Burning Man season last year lasted until October, people just kept coming,” said Holle.

Gerlach, a town of around 100 residents on the edge of Playa, is the last stop for amenities, even if limited. The city’s few businesses make the most of their annual income from the month before Burning Man and the month after.

While last year couldn’t keep up with the revenue from the actual event, the unofficial distillers at least provided some financial cushion.

Last year Burning Man organizers advised against any gathering in the desert to some extent. But this year they admitted that many would go to Playa for a party. They reminded people that they had to be self-sufficient.

Officials from the Bureau of Land Management, which normally oversees Burning Man, also said they had no special plans on site for the week of the now-canceled event. Several police officers patrolled the area last year, mainly to prevent people from burning structures.

Back in Reno, the people at the airport have to wait another year for the colorfully dressed festival goers to parade, who usually pique their curiosity.

Kulpin said he enjoyed watching other travelers react.

“A couple of times I’ve seen someone wearing a dark blue or black suit and they see someone coming back from dust-covered playa,” he said. “You can see the fear in their eyes, ‘Oh man, I hope I’m not sitting next to this person.'”
