Thirteen Homeless After Rossmoor Fire; No Injuries Reported.

Three-story building is a total loss; firefighters keep blaze from spreading to adjacent unit.

For the second evening in a row, the firefighters of county Fire Protection District Station 3 on Tice Valley Boulevard were the first responders to a scary fire.

For the second evening in a row, people were rendered homeless in multiple living units but — remarkably and fortunately — no injuries were reported among residents or firefighters.

Friday's fire was on Running Springs Road overlooking the golf course that the Rossmoor retirement community is built around. Thirteen people from eight units were left homeless and being helped by the American Red Cross.

I hate sand in parks. Nice breeding area for lice, and a great place for ferrel cats to poop. IRead More can't wait for them to do the park at Arbolado.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here: http://risk.utah.gov/newsletter/documents/playground_surfacing.pdf If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
