Flames sweep through rugged terrain near Santa Maria, California, forcing evacuations and endangering nearby communities and wildlife. Firefighters battle extreme heat, shifting winds and dry vegetation as they work to contain the rapidly expanding wildfire. The blaze, fueled by ongoing drought and high temperatures, sends thick smoke across the region, prompting air quality warnings and road closures. The Gifford Fire becomes one of the largest wildfires of the season in California, illustrating the intensifying impact of climate change on fire behavior and frequency in the American West. Authorities continue to monitor fire lines while urging residents to remain alert to changing conditions. ",

Speeding is the number one cause of serious and fatal traffic collisions in the city, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first of the cameras was installed in March, and until now, it has only been sending out $0 warning citations to speeding drivers. Over 350,000 of those warnings have gone out since March, according to SFMTA, which said they have already been effective, citing a statistic that 70% of vehicles that were issued a warning citation did not get a second one.[aside postID=news_12050256 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/250319-SF-SPEED-CAMERAS-MD-06_qed.jpg']“It is encouraging to see the program live up to its goal: educating drivers to shift to slower, safer speeds,” said Erica Kato, SFMTA’s chief spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s gathering of family members of those killed or injured by speeding drivers occurred at the intersection of Franklin and Green streets, where one of the city’s speed cameras was installed. A block away, Richard Zieman’s son, Andrew, was struck and killed in 2021 in an accident related to speeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ I’m not gonna pat them on the back. I’m glad it’s here, and I hope it helps,” Zieman said, “but they could have been doing this kind of stuff years ago because speeding down Franklin didn’t just start happening. That’s been a years-long problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Street is a three-lane, one-way thoroughfare with a 25 mph speed limit. A section of the street between Broadway and Lombard, which has a steep downhill slope, saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/blog/enhancing-safety-franklin-street\">38 collisions\u003c/a> between 2017 and 2021, including the one that killed Andrew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ The person that killed Andrew was doing almost 40 [miles per hour],” Zieman said. “Andrew wasn’t in the crosswalk, he wasn’t in one of the cars, he was crushed against a building just before 8 a.m. on a school day. Without speed, Andrew witnesses an accident and tells us about it. That’s the difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12050979\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12050979\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_Speed-Cameras-Folo_-0004_GH_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_Speed-Cameras-Folo_-0004_GH_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_Speed-Cameras-Folo_-0004_GH_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_Speed-Cameras-Folo_-0004_GH_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard Zieman, father of 30-year-old Andrew Zieman, stands with Walk SF members and North Beach neighbors at the intersection of Green and Franklin streets on Aug. 5, 2025 — the site where his son was fatally struck by a speeding driver in 2021. \u003ccite>(Gustavo Hernandez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Zieman said the city took action to discourage speeding in the area only after his son was killed, by doing things like installing curb bulbouts and adjusting stoplight timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ But they had to wait for a level of carnage to do it,” Zieman said. “[The speed cameras are] a good move, but they’re way too late.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elias Batshon, the owner of Sherman Market, a corner store on Franklin and Union streets, said things have improved since the speed camera up the street was installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ I’ve seen people slowing down,” said Batshon, who has owned the market for the last 35 years. “I mean, I’ve started to slow down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s welcome news to Batshon, who has seen his fair share of crashes in his decades in the store, including the one that killed Andrew Zieman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12050975\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12050975\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_SPEED-CAMERAS-FOLO_-0005_GH-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_SPEED-CAMERAS-FOLO_-0005_GH-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_SPEED-CAMERAS-FOLO_-0005_GH-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250805_SPEED-CAMERAS-FOLO_-0005_GH-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elias Batshon, owner of Sherman Market, poses inside his shop near Union and Franklin streets on Aug. 5, 2025.

Her house was just three blocks away from his grandmother’s. She had spent 10 years living in the South American country where Roberto had been born and raised. Though they’d unknowingly walked the same streets, they had never crossed paths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They dated online for a few months, but after a while, the relationship fizzled out.

She took several planes, crossed Central America on foot with some relatives, and got lost for 10 days in the Darien Gap, a dangerous stretch of rainforest between Colombia and Panama known as a major route for migrants. “She almost died,” Roberto said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she eventually made it out of the jungle, she reunited with the relatives she had been walking with. Together, they made their way to the U.S.-Mexico border, where she turned herself in to border officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two months in detention, she was released to her uncle’s house in another U.S. state, and Roberto flew to see her for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a magical moment,” he said. “I had been waiting for a long time to meet her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next three years, the couple started building a life together in San Francisco as they waited for updates on their immigration cases. Sandra started taking English classes at City College. They traveled across the U.S., visiting landmarks and meeting each other’s families. They slowly covered their fridge with magnets of the places they visited: New York City, Las Vegas, and Arizona. They put up souvenirs that their new friends had brought them from their trips around the world. Early this year, they celebrated their wedding.[aside postID=news_12047506 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/250609-SEIUProtests-07-BL_qed.jpg']“We’re not just married,” Roberto said. “We go to the gym together, we’re together throughout the day and through the night. And we don’t get bored of each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandra, he said, is someone “everyone loves.” She buys clothes to donate to homeless shelters. She cooks for her friends and Roberto’s coworkers, and always returns from her trips with gifts for them. She calls her parents regularly and is very close to his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, Roberto said, “Many things started happening at once.” After almost a decade of waiting, Roberto secured legal status. In late June, they took a trip so Sandra could reunite with her two brothers. Soon after, he received a promotion at work. The couple was elated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were already planning their next trip to Washington D.C., and once Sandra obtained legal status, to visit the rest of the world, starting with Denmark and the Dominican Republic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were looking to start a family,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the morning after they learned of Roberto’s promotion, their lives took a turn when ICE arrested Sandra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\">…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto can’t stop lamenting that day.

Others said that she might be able to get out of detention, but that it will take time. Some said it might be easier for her to decide to leave on her own, and for Roberto to bring her back, a path that could take years. One supposed attorney claimed he could get Sandra out in a year for $25,000 up front — an offer many nonprofits warn immigrants to be wary of. Roberto walked out. Sandra’s attorney, meanwhile, continues to fight for her pending asylum application, which allows her to remain in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has also made it harder for many detained immigrants to be released, said Alex Mensing of the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice (CCIJ).

I want my wife to be with me again, but it doesn’t seem like it will be possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto has considered visiting the detention center so he can see Sandra in person, but lawyers and family have warned him not to, fearing that, without citizenship, he might be at risk of detention as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside his house, he said, it’s impossible not to remember her. On a cabinet near the kitchen table are three framed photographs: the two of them bundled up in Lake Tahoe, Roberto kissing Sandra’s cheek at the edge of the Grand Canyon, and a portrait of Sandra’s parents, smiling. Her favorite snacks are still stocked in the drawers. Her makeup is still in the bathroom.
