Firefighters battle "labor intensive" blaze early Monday morning.
A father and son escaped harm after a fire broke out at their Long Beach home early Monday morning. The fire travelled through a wall from the basement to the attic at the home, at 628 W. Penn Street, and firefighters were able to control it within about 45 minutes after receiving a call at 5:21 a.m., said Richard Corbett, chief of the Long Beach Fire Department. “It was a very labor intensive operation,” said Corbett, who explained that firefighters had to rip apart many walls in order to stop the spread of the fire. He noted that the home, possibly built in the 1920s or 1930s, is made mostly of wood and plaster and without any construction or materials to block the fire’s path. “The son was sleeping in a second floor apartment when he …

Police union president says cops are not required to negotiate different plan.
The City of Long Beach will audit the retirement payments of two police officers – Lt. Jim McCormack and Det. Sgt. Howard Domitz – that are expected to cost a collective $1,094,324 million, but the city’s police union contends the officers are contractually entitled to receive that money. Both officers, who joined the Long Beach Police Department in 1978 and retired this year, are granted money for unused sick, vacation and compensatory time under the city’s payout retirement plan, and city officials plan to ask the officers to take retirement payments over three years instead of the typical 60 days in an effort to reduce substantial future retirement payouts, according to Newsday. Councilman John McLaughlin said: “Auditing something …

Teen was said to be safe at relatives home but ran away again.
The mother of a missing boy from Georgia received good news that he was safe in Long Beach, only to learn later that he had run away again.
