The Urban Hikers took this photo as part of their coverage after a car accident on Cliff Drive this week. It's a great reminder of the dedicated
professionals we have in Santa Barbara County who are ready to save lives at a moment's notice. Thank you to all of the firefighters, police and rescue
personnel who help keep our Santa Barbarian's and Edhatters safe.
In local news: The "Stirring The Pot" forum caused a heated debate, a "shark" sighting was seen at the Ventura Pier, and an Edhatter shares notes from
