mind you, and they were both on the second round of pulling them off the mountain. it's very easy to get off the trail and not know where you are going. the lesson to learn is that they actually called 911 prior to them really, really needing some significant help. we were out there last week for someone that it was just too late for and i think that was the good thing to learn. they alerted 911 so we could rescue them without any injury. and fire crews want to remind people e weather, the temperatures will be dipping a lot of people will be out hiking since our weather isn't so hot. they say you still need to be just as prepared as if it were triple digit temperature. still have plenty of water and they want to remind hikers that they have been receiving several calls of people lost at night here on camelback. they tell us it is never a good idea to go hiking at night. obviously today with this example here, if these women can get lost in the day, you definitely can get lost at

offer her congratulations. here is what happened. judge joshua rogers read the recount. the result is bigdz at 25,244 and christine jones coming in at 25,217. this time a difference of 27 votes. judge rogers had yet to rule on jones' request to review 577 overvote ballots. now those were considered originally excluded by county election officials because the machine picked up marks for more than one candidate. the argument camp was they should be examined to determine if the voters intent was obvious. now jones says her camp is laying down their swords and accepting a loss. >> hardest part about today was knowing that in the end there were more than 300 voters in congressional district 5 who tried to vote whose votes didn't count either because their signature didn't match registration card or because they voted in the wrong precinct

right precinct. that is a meaningful number when you are separated by nine votes and i hope the county recorder's office and i have every confidence that they will, learn from this experience and improve it the next time. >> jones came down smiling but yet with the hint of sadness in her eyes. she is not ruling out ever running for any position again, but she can't really wrap her head about being on another ballot just yet. come november. she is voting all republican all the way reporting live, marcy jones, "fox 10 news." massive fire on the u.s. 60 closes down the freeway and as you see here it backs up traffic for miles. this all during the morning commute. the fire sparked by a crash involved almost a dozen vehicles and in all when it began, the dump truck was going west. it crashed into an eastbound lane of the freeway near alma school road. the cars collided with they caught fire.
