we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we show up to a fire and pg&e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. i rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. utilizing pg&e's talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. the things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harm's way, and to have a partner that is so skilled

at what they do is indispensable, and i couldn't ask for a better partner. the laughspreadable...e is ♪ ...dippable... ♪ ...dunkable... ♪ ...whatever-you-wantable. so however you snack, snack like you. ♪ the laughing cow.

it was a who's who of top ten golfers today at the masters, making a run on moving day. patrick reed, two-stroke lead, starting round 3, hold on to your hats, here we go. we start out with jon rahm chipping in for eagle on 8. 7-under 65 for him today. but that only puts him in fourth place. because rickie fowler also a 7-under 65 that moved him to third starting out very well, this eagle putt on 2. britain's tommy fleetwood making a run as well, birdied five in a row on the back nine. this approach on 14 part of that run. he's tied for sixth at minus 6. your final pairing tomorrow includes rory mcilroy, who just needs the masters for the career grand slam. he chips in on 8 for eagle.

and then on 18 you think he's excited there, he finishes with a birdie. rory is 7 under 65 as well. he's in second place at minus 11. the leader patrick reed finished his college career at augusta state next door. long birdie drops in on 9. side door. best major finish tied for second at the pga. two eagles on the par 5s on the back nan, first on 13, then this chip-in on 15. reed's at minus 14, three ahead of rory, and in 2011 mcilroy melted down with a lead similar to reed's on the final day, a ty he put the pressure on the other guy. >> hopefully all i learned seven years ago i can put in practice tomorrow. hopefully i can go out there tomorrow and show what i've got, show patrick reed what i've got. all the pressure's on him. >> it's going to be electrifying. the fans are going to be ready to go, ready to cheer for whoever's making putts and pulling off shots.

you just have to be able to put your nose to the grinder, play some golf. >> everybody's dream is to play the masters. growing p, to have that chance to walk up 18 with a chance to win or maybe you have it closed out. that's your walk to victory. >> setup for a great sunday at augusta. despite the warriors' loss to the pelicans, tonight it was another good game for quinn cook. the warriors will be without steph curry for the first round of the playoffs and they will need cook to step up. after tonight's game the dubs officially waived omri casspi clearing the way for cook to sign an nba only contract and become part of the dubs' playoff roster. he's really come into his shot lately, not hesitating to pull up from three in the third quarter to gift dubs the lead. he finished with 21 points, 5 of 7 from three-point land and seven assists 37 cook played last season for new orleans and even signed a multiyear deal with them in the off-season, but they released him midway through the summer, forcing him to scramble for a job. it appears to have worked out for him. he says he didn't come into this

game with a special chip on his shoulder, he comes into every game with a chip on his shoulder. >> i just like to just stay consistent, stay solid, and treat every game like it's my last and try to prepare the same in coming into the this game with the same mindset. i donate try to get some revenge on them or whatever. those guys, you know, i talk to a.d., i try to stay in contact with those guys. i definitely don't take it as a look what you missed out on or revenge. i just try to just take every game the same way with the same approach. >> the warriors could very well face russell westbrook and his thunder in round 1 but the west is so crazy thunder could miss the playoffs. tonight in houston westbrook delivered. 24 points, 10 assists, hounding james harden all night. thunder forcing 17 turnovers, and they snapped the rockets' 20-game home win streak with a 108-102 victory. the thunder win monday, they're in the playoffs. >> we're a tough group, man.

i know when we're playing our best nobody can beat us. i always believe in the guys in this locker room and we did a gaet job of competing tonight. this one's for our philly fanatic slash producer john. phillies put up 20 tonight on derek jeter's marlins. 20. hit two grand slams in a game for the first time since 2009. franco and altherr with those. eight in the fourth. and jorge alfaro made it 20-1 phillies in the seventh. phillies become the first team to score 20 runs in one of its first ten games since the '54 cubs. 20-1 the final. marlins are tanking already. this abc 7 sports report brought to you by river rock casino. masters is setting up for an incredible finish on sunday. and quinn cook, i did a story with him on the santa cruz warriors four weeks ago. great to he shiem have the success he's had. and he's earned a contract for the playoffs. too bad for omri casspi but
