The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.26) 

When you're stuck in a crappy job or out of work, weekends already suck — and dealing with the public, refunds, and customer service can make it worse. But this week we're diving into something bigger: the Boyle Heights Fire that ignited on June 17th, and the alarming moment Watch Duty deactivated coverage of the area "unless conditions change." Someone clearly wasn't on top of this. 

We're joined by retired Former L.A. County Fire Captain Steve Kreeger, a 40-year veteran demanding ANSWERS. Twelve hours in, Watch Duty reported nothing to see — and we break down how the app works as a conduit, pulling from multiple sources and retransmitting to users. An after-action report is desperately needed. Plus, we cover the LaCoFD international USAR team (USA-2) activated to respond to Venezuela after devastating 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes ripped through the country's center — deploying 71 members, 6 canine teams, and 84,000 lbs of equipment alongside the Fairfax County International Urban Search and Rescue teams. 

Then we tackle the grim aftermath: the overwhelming odor of rotting food, a clever penny trick to tell if your fridge lost power while you were away, and the staggering 75 million gallons of drinking water it took to extinguish the blaze. We close on the cleanup nightmare — that "sickly sweet" stench, the heavy metals and forever chemicals potentially released, and the brutal final price tag: $4.5 million to taxpayers.
