  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief. Your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:12
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Wednesday,
• 0:16
  November 26, 2025. Let's get you caught up. Sacramento
• 0:20
  police had their hands full with two separate
• 0:23
  incidents on Monday. Just after 10 a .m., officers
• 0:26
  were called to I Street and Alhambra Boulevard.
• 0:29
  after reports of a man swinging a machete. Officers
• 0:33
  quickly detained the suspect, who turned out
• 0:36
  to be on parole. They also found drug paraphernalia
• 0:40
  and later linked him to recent robbery. He was
• 0:43
  arrested on multiple related charges. And while
• 0:47
  officers were wrapping up that scene, South Command
• 0:50
  units were dealing with a different kind of chase.
• 0:52
  Around 2 .08 p .m. on Freeport Boulevard, officers
• 0:56
  were investigating a burglary when they contacted
• 0:59
  two individuals. One suspect tried to run, but
• 1:03
  was caught almost immediately. Officers say the
• 1:06
  suspect had narcotics on them and were arrested
• 1:09
  on related charges. All right, Sacramento, as
• 1:13
  we roll into Thanksgiving. full of turkey pie,
• 1:17
  and maybe that one relative you only tolerate
• 1:19
  annually. Sac Metro Fire wants to make sure the
• 1:23
  only thing that's getting roasted is the bird.
• 1:27
  Here's the deal. Thanksgiving is the number one
• 1:29
  day for cooking fires, and the number one cause?
• 1:33
  Folks wandering off from the kitchen like their
• 1:35
  stuffing's going to stir itself. So a few quick
• 1:39
  reminders. Stay in the kitchen. Keep a lid handy.
• 1:44
  Set a timer so your mac and cheese doesn't turn
• 1:47
  into a crime scene. If you're sleepy or have
• 1:52
  already started sampling those holiday cocktails,
• 1:55
  this is not the time to play Top Shelf. So, keep
• 1:59
  the kids back from the stove, keep cords tucked
• 2:02
  in, and please, for the love of gravy, do not
• 2:06
  deep fry a frozen turkey. This is how you get
• 2:11
  instant fireworks that you didn't order. So if
• 2:15
  something does flare up in case of an oven flyer,
• 2:18
  you turn off the oven, keep that door closed.
• 2:22
  If it's a small grease fire, slide a lid over
• 2:26
  the pan. Do not put water on a grease fire. It
• 2:30
  will spread immediately into a disaster. So anything
• 2:35
  bigger than your comfort level, just get out
• 2:37
  and call 911 from outside. Sat metro fire says
• 2:42
  may your turkey be juicy your family be peaceful
• 2:44
  and your kitchen stay flame free Today's weather
• 2:50

• 2:52
  morning. They estimated it should burn off by
• 2:54
  about 11 noon Hopefully we get to see some sunshine
• 2:58
  in a high of 58. We'll see what happens with
