The close call occurred around 8 p.m. on March 29 at Don Knabe Community Park. Deputies said a man was pushing one child in a stroller when his 2 1/2-year-old son rode ahead of them on his bike and out of his sight.

IRVINE, Calif. (KTLA) – For the first time, a fire detection system invented by a Newport Beach teenager will be tested in a real-world situation. Seventeen-year-old Ryan Honary’s system, which he has been developing for five years, will be deployed near the 133 and 405 freeways in Irvine. Honary’s invention started as a science fair project and has grown into a company called Sensory AI. The system uses three sensors to detect flame, smoke, and heat. Recently, it was upgraded with infrared cameras.
