TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - The Marana Police Department has a new device to help map out crime scenes. It’s a Trimble X9 scanner and it’s been on the department’s wish list for years. It uses lasers to measure crime scenes. Usually, investigators would do all of this by hand by drawing out the crime scene. But now, this machine takes care of it. “It sends a laser out and uses a data mapping with point cloud, so it knows where things are,” said MPD Crime Scene Specialist Taylor Pitzer.

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Today is a First Alert Action Day due to the potential of reaching 100 degrees. It’s important to keep in mind that these temperatures can be dangerous, especially during the midday hours. We also have a Fire Weather Watch in place for all of Southern Arizona today and tomorrow because of 20-30 mph winds and humidity as low at 7%. That all can contribute to dangerous fire conditions. We’ll stay near 100 degrees tomorrow before temps drop into the mid 80s Wednesday.
