RIVERSIDE -- A retired L.A. County assistant fire chief charged with animal cruelty in the beating death of his neighbor's six-month-old puppy is turning the tables on his accusers.

54- year old Glynn Johnson has now filed a lawsuit against the owners of the puppy claiming the dog attack left him permanently disabled.
According to the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, Johnson alleges he suffered physical and emotional trauma as a result of the "dog's brutal attack."
Johnson has pleaded not guilty to animal cruelty, with sentence-enhancing allegations of using a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony in connection with the Nov. 3 beating.
Johnson, who retired from the fire department two weeks ago, remains free on $10,000 bail.
He's scheduled to return to Riverside County Superior Court for a felony settlement conference Feb. 20.
Johnson maintains he was attacked by the dog and hit it only to defend himself.

Thank you again for all your support!
Sincerely,
The Toole Family

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
