Even after the training, LEAP staff must wait for first responders, like a fire crew or law enforcement agency, to grant the group access to evacuation zones.
They got that approval at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, when the Lake County Sheriff's Department asked LEAP to deploy its personnel to the Spring Valley community and other areas threatened by the blaze, Davidson said.
Mandatory evacuation orders can occur with little warning, Davidson said, so people shopping at the grocery store or attending a doctor's appointment often can't get back to where their pets and livestock are. On Saturday, LEAP split into teams of two and headed toward the residences of community members who had called...
In the field, Cal Fire firefighters are LEAP's "eyes and ears," Davidson said, telling the group where they should and should not go.
This weekend, they worked for almost 36 hours straight. They only stopped at 6 p.m. on Sunday because, after their initial deployment, LEAP avoids working at night, when dealing with spooked horses and unpredictable flames becomes too dangerous, Davidson said.
Community members unaffiliated with LEAP aren't allowed to enter evacuation areas to mount their own vigilante animal rescue operation. That doesn't mean concerned individuals can't do anything to help, according to Debbie James, the President of the Lake County Horse Council.
"My ranch is always open," said James, who lives about 30 minutes from the Pawnee Fire. She and other members of the council have been working to stockpile hay for displaced horses to eat.
The good news, she said, is that although some horses were left behind as locals evacuated, she hadn't heard of any life-threatening crises in the county as of Monday afternoon.
The Pawnee Fire covered 8,200 acres and 0 percent contained as of 11:34 a.m. Monday morning. LEAP will continue to rescue animals until evacuation orders are lifted for the county, Davidson said.
Hunt’s family said he had attended Belleville West and planned to enter the military.
Officers arrived to find Hunt unconscious in the alley, he was taken to Belleville Memorial and declared dead, Eiskant said. It’s the first homicide of 2017 in Belleville.
“We don’t think this was a random act of violence,” Eiskant said.
Hunt was on probation for the beating of a man in O’Fallon. He had been found guilty of aggravated battery and mob action, Class 3 felonies, and had a no-contact order for that man and the O’Fallon Suites Hotel.
On Monday morning, remnants of police tape remained in the alley behind the 7600 block of West Main Street.
A neighbor who did not want to be identified said she had heard gunshots before 8 p.m., and the six to seven shots seemed to come from the same weapon. Police reported that several calls came in at 10:11 p.m. reporting multiple shots fired.
Belleville police said 20 investigators with the Major Case Squad were called to the area.
Eiskant said police are trying to determine how he got to the alley. No one else was nearby when police arrived.

House Republicans are drawing a line in the sand over the government funding bill, but House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan believes the shutdown showdown will eventually merge into the debt ceiling fight.
“I think it will fold into the debt ceiling fight. I think that’s inevitable. And preferable in my opinion. I like combining all of our leverage, which is sequester and the debt limit,” Ryan tells National Review Online.
Though Ryan and other senior conservative lawmakers pushed the GOP conference toward the debt ceiling, in the end, rank-and-file members clamored to move it forward to the continuing resolution (CR) bill.
“I think that, we’re prior to October 1, when Obamacare starts, and there’s just a great desire to do everything we can before that moment. And that’s understandable. I respect that. I think the Senate’s gonna have a tough vote,” Ryan says.
“What we wanted to do is make really clear who stands for what. And doing what we’re doing today makes the Senate face up to that. We’ll see what happens. I’ve always believed you don’t try to predict with certainty where these things go. Everybody who says such things really doesn’t know. They’re just spinning. I want...
I asked Ryan if he believes President Obama’s steadfast vows that he won’t negotiate over the debt ceiling. His reaction? You’ve got to be kidding me.
“Oh, nobody believes that. Nobody believes that. He himself negotiated Bowles-Simpson on the debt limit with Democrats. That was Kent Conrad’s requirement. He himself negotiated the Budget Control Act with the debt limit. Graham Rudman. Bush Andrews Airforce Base. Clinton Gore ’97. All of those major budget agreements ...
Romney was silky-smooth and Perry lackluster at the low-key GOP debate. Howard Kurtz on how Herman Cain emerged as the evening’s real star. Plus, more Daily Beast contributors weigh in.
I feel safe in going out on a limb here: the Bloomberg/Washington Post debate barely moved the needle of the Republican presidential race.
Perry, in a major improvement over previous debates, had only minor stumbles—but then, he also scored no points. He took the dubious step of repeatedly trumpeting an energy plan that he says will create 1.2 million jobs—but offering no specifics. And in his one sharp exchange with Romney, the former Massachusetts gover...
The surprise of the evening was Herman Cain, and not just because he’s an able and colorful debater. The New Hampshire event cemented his status as a top-tier contender, as much of the conversation turned on his 9-9-9 plan, which includes a national sales tax. His rivals, with one eye on his surge in the polls, kept br...
There was broad agreement among the candidates that Obamacare and Dodd-Frank and overregulation are strangling job creation, which made it difficult for any of them to stand out, beyond Ron Paul’s Fed-bashing and Jon Huntsman warning of a trade war with China. Michele Bachmann at times seemed to be running a one-issue ...
Romney smoothly turned every other question back to his private-sector experience but also made a subtle shift on what had been seen as his greatest liability: his Massachusetts health-care plan. Rather than sounding defensive, Romney made the case—rare at a GOP debate these days—that Republicans have a responsibility ...
Perry didn’t get a chance to respond, but after a later question, he complained about the rigidity of the Medicaid program—although the Post’s Karen Tumulty countered by noting that Washington had granted Texas 16 waivers from federal rules. It was yet another instance of Perry failing to get any traction all evening.
Perry got tangled in his syntax when trying to finesse a clip of Ronald Reagan talking about the tradeoff between tax hikes and spending cuts. “Americans are so untrustworthy of what’s going on,” he said, before explaining, with some overstatement, that Reagan never got the spending reductions he had been promised.
