Windy out here. With daylight you can see exactly how far this fire spreads. The concern was it started on the eastbound side of 580 and then jumped both directions of the interstate 580 onto the northbound side. Traffic is still backed up. This all started from an accident at around midnight last night and the big rig or pickup truck, were still trying to confirm which one it was, whether it was a big rig or a pickup truck. The chp saying it hit the Center Divide and caused a fire. That fire spread to the other side of the freeway. At one point riding in the wrong direction because they were trying to get away from flames. Fortunately the firefighters were able to put the flames out. The fire spread to about 100 acres but now it is completely out in all directions. Both directions are open. Back here live, the traffic westbound is still backed up. I was sitting in the traffic eastbound. At 3 45 they opened up the lanes so eastbound is flowing smoothly. Back to you. Thank you, sharon.

The final decision was changes in policing here in the city of berkeley were necessary, so those councilmembers voted to proceed with making those changes. Lets break this down.

Many which created the creation of the new department to handle trafficrelated stops and duties, an audit of police calls and response and the creation of specialized care units to handle the nonpolice trauma calls were all lumped into one. One of the more drastic proposals, was not included in that allencompassing proposal. After hours of public comment, every councilmember but one who proposed a budget cut voted yes. She said the items did not reflect what the people wanted and did not offer enough change. Take a listen to what residents had to say outside of the meeting. They wont be able to beat peo
