Real estate agents warn about thieves
Real estate agents have standard advice for homeowners planning their first open house: Hire a cleaning service. Drop the pets off with a neighbor. And lock up your valuables because you never know who may be stopping by.

Nearby residents were evacuated because of the thick black smoke in the sparsely populated area.
