Some Los Angeles area residents have begun returning to their still smoldering neighborhoods to search for memories even as the threat of new fires persists.

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. - We are just days away from one of the biggest events of the summer, the Woodward Dream Cruise. Ahead of Saturday, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard is sending a message to anyone heading to Woodward Avenue for the festivities. Jeff Martin of Sterling Heights said he looks forward to bringing his Austin Healey to Woodward Avenue. "They need to enjoy the cruise, but just be a little more situationally aware," Bouchard said. The event is one of the safest, family-friendly events in Metro Detroit and Bouchard plans to keep it that way.
