Red Flag Warnings | National Weather Service launches a new category: 'Particularly Dangerous Situation' – People have seen how explosive fires like the Camp, Carr, Tubbs, Dixie and North Complex develop so quickly that it leaves people little time to escape. Even though Red Flag Warnings are issued in many cases, it's still hard to imagine something overtaking a town or area in just hours. But the frequency of these events has gone up over the last decade. The National Weather Service is launching a new way to warn us of particularly dangerous fire situations for potential explosive, fast-moving fires that may result in little evacuation time.

'The buck stops with me' | Sacramento Mayor Steinberg responds to homeless camp cleanups while shelters are full – On September 29th, Caltrans bulldozers pushed tents, beds and coolers aside as folks who lived there watched from the other side of W and 9th. The same thing happened six days later near 29th and F streets under Capital City Freeway, but each person being removed that ABC10 spoke with had the same question. "Where do we go?" Jason Sloan, a man experiencing homelessness said after receiving notice by Caltrans to vacate the area. No officials seem to have answers for that, as city shelters are all at capacity. As of October 8, Caltrans delayed plans to remove by Oct. 15 the homeless encampments beneath where I-80 and Capital City Freeway split, just east of Watt Avenue. (Lena Howland, ABC10)
