| VIDEO: Big rig explodes into flames during police chase on 5 Freeway in southern California The driver of a reportedly stolen big rig out of Kern County was taken into custody Thursday after leading California Highway Patrol on a slow-speed pursuit on the 5 Freeway near the Newhall area. The truck was traveling southbound on the freeway, going through Newhall and ending up near Castaic Lake, heading into the Santa Clarita Valley. Authorities made several attempts to deploy spike strips on the freeway. The big rig eventually hit one in a set of three laid out on the roadway, leading to one of the tires coming off the front right passenger side. At one point, the driver was seen writing on a piece of paper and holding that paper up to the windshield. It's unclear what was written. The driver was able to continue driving for a short time before the front left driver's side of the big rig began to catch fire. KTTV FOX 11 LOS ANGELES New York City Council passes legislation to improve equity, inclusion and diversity in FDNY The New York City Council has passed historic legislation to improve equity, inclusion and diversity in the FDNY. The legislation package requires the FDNY to report on its recruitment and retention efforts of firefighters of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. The department would also have to survey firehouses and ensure they are equipped to serve a mixed gender workforce. "By passing this package of bills today, we hope to move the FDNY forward to achieving a workforce fully reflective of the diversity of our city," New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said. The council speaker says currently only 8% of firefighters are Black, 2% are Asian and only 1% are women.
