In a typical home fire, occupants may have as little as one or two minutes to escape safely from the moment that a smoke-alarm first sounds. Knowing how to use that minute or two wisely takes planning and practice. That's why the Culver City Fire Department wi...

Los Angeles, you have a damn good football team. It took only 21 games for the once-ridiculed Los Angeles Rams to not only become an elite NFL team but also evolve into the most entertaining under second-year Head Coach Sean McVay. The first-place Rams are the only NFC team remaining with a perfect 4-0 record this season. "Great team win for us right there against a really tough opponent. Can't say enough about the performance of Jared Goff tonight,” said McVay after the Rams beat the M...

He's a good tackler in space and an outstanding coverage guy.” That versatility has been on display in every game this season and Sunday’s game at the Stub Hub Center in Carson...
