Major day in the fire fight as theyre expecting to make announcement about the arrest in the morning. The bear fire now fully contained as of today, ten days after it begin ripping through the rugging terrain. Everything important you own is in this car . Right. Reporter hundreds evacuated their homes for several days. Six homes burned to the ground, and nine firefighters were hurt. And now we could soon know the cause behind the wildfire. According to the santa cruz paper, police are expected to announce an arrest in the fire. Were fortunate we didnt have high winds. Reporter cal fire talked about the fire fight earlier today, and why the work is far from over despite 100 percent containment. Its basically doing mop up again.

Tonight if pge gets its way, their customers could end up paying for devastating wildfires across the state.

Reporter gate agents here at the station tell us in one single day this year they watched more than 600 people jump over these gates evading fares, and tonight barts board of directors passed an ordinance to keep fare evasion of that magnitude from happening again. People do it all the time. Its frustrating. Reporter less than 5 minutes after we walked into the bart station, someone hopped over the gate. Didnt even pay, hopped the emergency exit, and the attendants dont do anything. Reporter it happens . Every day. It costs us 15 million to 25 Million Dollars a year. Reporter thats why tonight barts board of directors passed two ordinances to target fare evaders. Officers will be hired to board bart trains and ask every Single Person for proof of purchase. If caught youll be charged 75 for your first offense. Minors will be charged 55. Three strikes and youll face criminal charges. Do you think the checks will help . I think so, i do. It really makes sense for the people that do pay for their fares. Its not fair to them to have somebody else whos cheating the system while their ticket is paying for the operating cost. Reporter 75 percent of barts operating costs come from people who follow the rules and pay the full fare. Officials anticipate this will bring back 8 to 11 million each year. Its not about catching every person who fare evades, its about reducing the fare evasion and sending the message that the free ride is over. Reporter officers enforcing this proof of purchase ordinance will be required to wear body cameras. Again, this ordinance is taking effect in january, but theyre giving people a grace period. So the actual fines start in february. In january you might get off with a warning. Live in San Francisco, kpix 5.

The record shows the cia and fbi withheld a tremendous amount of information from the warren commission, especially about this mysterious trip oswald makes to mexico city a few weeks before the assassination.
