Dog trapped between two buildings rescued by firefighters in Tujunga

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:30:06 GMT

Firefighters rescued a large dog stuck between two buildings in Tujunga on Wednesday, authorities announced.  Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the 7200 block of West Greeley Street at around 2:48 p.m. “Firefighters were made aware of the trapped dog while finishing up with a medical response nearby,” LAFD said in a post to Instagram.  The dog, named Ziggy, is believed to have crawled into the narrow space between the two buildings to escape the sound of fireworks, fire officials said, and had likely been stuck there overnight.  “Ziggy was stuck in there pretty good,” the dog’s owner said. “We pulled her up and then she went back down. I thought I was going to lose her. She brings a lot of happiness to me. She doesn’t deserve to die in a wall.” Video of Ziggy taken after his rescue showed a happy pooch with no apparent injuries from the incident. Ziggy seen here getting pets after being rescued from between two buildings in Tujunga on July 4...

President of FIA says he sees no reason to slow Red Bull in dominant Formula One season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:30:06 GMT

In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem addressed numerous topics from Michael Andretti’s bid to land a Formula One team, the existing Concorde Agreement with F1, Red Bull’s dominance and the Super License system:RED BULL RUNAWAYRed Bull heads into the British Grand Prix this weekend undefeated through all nine races this season, with two-time reigning world champion Max Verstappen on a five-race winning streak. He has seven wins, while teammate Sergio Perez has won the other two races. The Red Bull dominance has created a lackluster season — even with F1 enjoying a surge of interest in the U.S. market — but Ben Sulayem said he does not believe it is something F1’s governing body needs to address. “If we go about what’s good and bad we’ll open the door. I mean, was it good for Mercedes? Fair enough?” Ben Sulayem said. “It is (Verstappen’s) time, it’s Red Bull’s time. What do we do and punish the good kid...

For third day, it was the hottest day on Earth, as global temperature matches record set Tuesday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:30:06 GMT

Earth’s average temperature remained at a record high Wednesday, after two days in which the planet reached unofficial records. It’s the latest marker in a series of climate-change-driven extremes.The average global temperature was 17.18 Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. That matched a record set Tuesday of 17.18 Celsius (62.9 Fahrenheit), and came after a previous record of 17.01 Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit) was set Monday.Scientists have warned for months that 2023 could see record heat as human-caused climate change, driven largely by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil, warmed the atmosphere. They also noted that La Nina, the natural cooling of the ocean that had acted as a counter to that warming, was giving way to El Nino, the reverse phenomenon marked by warming oceans. The North Atlantic has seen re...
