Good morning, Fresno.

Willow (a 15-pound poodle mix) survived over six months on the streets and is now safe with Mell's Mutts in Fresno.

Rescuers say she is slowly learning to trust people and needs a patient home.

On Saturday just after 10 a.m., Fresno police responded to a shooting near Cleo and Roberts Avenues where a man in his early 50s was fatally shot in his backyard and a man in his late 40s was detained as he left the house—investigators say the men knew each other and recovered a firearm that has not yet been linked to the shooting—police are not seeking additional suspects.

A man lost consciousness after punching a window during a domestic dispute Saturday at a northeast Fresno home (injuring his arm) and later crashed into two vehicles on Highway 180 as officers rendered aid before he and another person were taken to a local hospital.

On Wednesday a woman crashed a white Hyundai into a Peterbilt truck on Highway 5 and fled the scene while exceeding 100 MPH — CHP later arrested her for DUI and hit-and-run.

Fresno’s Dog Daze Fest returns on Saturday, Sept.

6 at Chukchansi Park—headlined by The Chainsmokers and featuring three themed stages, interactive games, and VIP lounges. Thousands of tickets have already sold as the festival aims to boost the city’s music scene and transform Fresno into a major entertainment hub.

Local roads in the valley follow a grid correction system that dates back to Thomas Jefferson’s plan—standard lines appear every 24 miles from Mount Diablo, causing roads like Herndon Avenue to curve near these markers.

This historical grid practice, which also influences roads such as 7th Standard Road and County Line Road, continues to shape how we travel today.

Fresno Fire Department donated 17 pallets of firefighting equipment — including self-contained breathing apparatus units that no longer meet US OSHA standards but remain functional — to support first responders in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The donation was made in partnership with the Mexican Consulate and aims to strengthen collaboration between the two fire departments.

Fresno Unified School District clarified that board members did not give unofficial permissions to staff for settling with Ms. Henry and that Chief of Human Resources David Chavez had full board authority to negotiate the settlement following proper government codes.
