Placer County Animal Services reported that Zeus, a legally owned zebra, broke free from his Lincoln-area home on Monday and was later found safely on a road just north of Lincoln the same day.

The California Highway Patrol’s Auburn office confirmed that the striped animal was located along West Wise Road and returned to its owner.

Irvine, United States – OCFA crews responded to an electric vehicle fire in the middle of a street in Irvine yesterday.

Officials stated that incidents involving electric vehicles can be extremely difficult to manage due to intense heat and the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries.

Firefighters have recently added the Cobra water piercing nozzle to their equipment to help deal with such situations. The tool uses a high-pressure water stream combined with aggregate to penetrate vehicle materials and deliver cooling water directly into battery compartments or other hard-to-reach areas.

According to officials, this method helps reduce heat more quickly, slows the progression of thermal runaway, and limits the spread of fire, while allowing firefighters to remain at a safer distance from the most dangerous areas.

S. Telluride St., United States – K9 Rex, one of the ACSO dogs trained to locate missing children, helped find a 7-year-old girl after she was separated from her mother for nearly two hours at a park in the 6400 block of S. Telluride St. on April 2.

Deputies, K9 units, and drones were deployed immediately after the child ran off because she did not want to leave.

Deputy Gray and K9 Rex began tracking using the girl’s shoes to pick up her scent. Rex quickly followed the trail and led deputies to a nearby backyard where the child was located.

The girl attempted to run again, but Deputy Halliburton caught up with her safely. She was unharmed and reunited with her family.

This marks Rex’s first successful recovery of a missing child since completing tracking training last year.

Bradenton, United States – Officers Emrich and Eades of the Bradenton Police Department Marine Unit were finishing their patrol and rinsing their boat when an unexpected visitor appeared at the dock.

The animal, described as a manatee, approached the vessel and came in seeking fresh water while officers were wrapping up their duties.

Authorities noted that although manatees are drawn to fresh water, they should not be given water or encouraged to approach people or boats, as this can cause them to associate humans with food or handouts, putting them at risk.

Officers said they did not issue a citation and waited for the manatee to leave before docking the vessel, noting that even in such encounters, manatees are given the right of way.
