THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FIRE IS INSIDE OF THIS MULCH PILE, WHICH IS VERY BIG AND VERY DENSE. IN ORDER TO PUT IT OUT, THEY HAVE TO BREAK THIS PILE UP.

AS YOU CAN SEE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THE DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY HAS EXCAVATORS AND BULLDOZERS DIGGING IN RIGHT NOW.

SAN CARLOS PARK FIRE AND RESCUE HAS BEEN ON SCENE NON STOP SINCE 8:00 YESTERDAY MORNING, PUTTING WATER ON THE PILE.

PETRAEUS LATEST-CLIP-ONCAM

NOW TO THE SHOCKING NEWS --

THAT *ENDED THE CAREER OF C-I-A CHIEF DAVID PETRAEUS.

THIS MORNING -- SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

ABC'S SENIOR FOREIGN AFFAIS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ.

HAS COVERED THE FOUR-STAR GENERAL FOR YEARS.

PETRAEUS LATEST-PKG

THE AFFAIR WOULD LIKELY NEVER HAVE COME TO LIGHT IF NOT FOR THIS WOMAN. HER

NAME IS JILL KELLEY SEEN LEAVING HER TAMPA BAY HOME SUNDAY EVENING--SHE AND

HER HUSBAND ARE LONG TIME SUPPORTERS OF THE MILITARY. OFFICIALS SAY KELLEY

IS NOT ROMANTICALLY LINKED TO DAVID PETRAEUS, SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE FAMILY

FRIENDS OF THE PETRAEUS'S.

BUT EARLIER THIS YEAR, ABOUT THE TIME THAT PETRAEUS AND PAULA BROADWELL WERE

BREAKING OFF THEIR AFFAIR, KELLY BEGAN RECEIVING ANONYMOUS EMAILS WHICH

SHE FOUND SO THREATENING SHE WENT TO AUTHORITIES. THE FBI TRACED THE EMAILS

TO BROADWELL'S COMPUTER -- WHERE THEY FOUND SALACIOUS AND EXPLICIT EMAILS

BETWEEEN BROADWELL AND PETRAEUS THAT MADE IT CLEAR SAY OFFICIALS THAT

BROADWELL AND THE NATION'S CIA DIRECTOR WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

THE 40-YEAR-OLD BROADWELL HAD EXTRAORDINARY ACCESS TO THE 60-YEAR-OLD

GENERAL IN AFGHANISTAN AS HIS OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHER, A PLUM ASSIGNMENT FOR A

NOVICE WRITER.

MANSOOR SOT: FOR HIM TO ALLOW THE VERY FIRST BIOGRAPHY TO BE WRITTEN ABOUT

HIM, TO BE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO HAD NEVER WRITTEN A BOOK BEFORE/ SEEMED

VERY ODD TO ME.

DESPITE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY SPENT TOGETHER IN AFGHANISTAN, FRIENDS SAY

PETRAEUS CLAIMS THAT HE AND BROADWELL BEGAN THEIR AFFAIR ONLY AFTER HE WAS

OUT OF THE ARMY. IF THAT TURNS OUT NOT TO BE TRUE HE COULD FACE PROSECUTION

FOR ADULTERY.

BUT IT APPEARS THAT FOR THE MAJORITY OF HIS TENURE AT THE CIA HE WAS

CARRYING ON THE AFFAIR.

KING SOT: IT JUST DOESN'T ADD UP. THAT THE FBI WOULD BE CARRYING ON THIS

TYPE OF INVESTIGATION WITHOUT AGAIN, BRINGING IT TO THE, YOU KNOW THE

CROSSTALK INTO WX-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

The warming trend that started over the weekend will carry over into our Monday, and we may even see a few passing showers roaming across Southwest Florida through the day.

The main headline today is that we expect another warm and breezy day with a swift easterly breeze coming in at 5-15 mph with some higher gusts near 20 mph.

With no cold fronts coming to Southwest Florida during the week, temperatures will continue to stay fairly warm. Daytime highs in most spots will reach the mid 80s with highs close to the coast reaching the low 80s.

While rain prospects don't look to promising through the next several days, we will mention the potential for some passing showers today as some Atlantic moisture gets carried over with the easterly winds. If you manage to get a passing shower, it likely won't be too heavy or long lived. Aside from a few isolated showers, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the day.

Tuesday will be another warm day with highs in the mid 80s and a partly cloudy sky. A stray afternoon shower will be possible, but these will be pretty scarce.

Another change you'll likely notice this week is the higher humidity levels. It's not going to be a big jump, but this week will be a little more humid compared to that dry, crisp air we had a few days ago.

Confidence continues to remain high the next front that moves into the state will stall before making to Southwest Florida, so the mild, warm weather will continue all the way into the upcoming weekend.

HIDDEN HOME DANGERS-VO IN POP

MICHELLE KENNEDY LOOKS AT THE HIDDEN HOME HAZARDS,

HIDDEN HOME DANGERS-PKG

JEFF AND HEATHER MITCHELL'S KIDS LOVE TO PLAY AND AT 20 MONTHS, GRACE LIKE TO GET INTO THINGS. SO DOES HER THREE YEAR OLD BROTHER, JACKSON. SO THEY TRY TO KEEP DANGEROUS ITEMS OUT OF REACH.

JEFF IS A FIREFIGHTER-AND HIS BOSS, CAPTAIN NIM HARRIS IS THE SAFE KIDS COORDINATOR. HE TOOK US THROUGH MITCHELL'S HOME TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL DANGERS.

FIRST WE GO TO THE KITCHEN. A HOT ZONE OF HAZARDS.

"Whatever's inside of that especially if it reaches a temperature of boiling and it spills on a child it's going to cause possibly first and second and degree burns."

UNDER THE SINK THEIR FIRE EXTINGUISHER IS IN THE BACK. IT SHOULD BE VISIBLE, AND ATTACHED UP ON THE KITCHEN WALL. THE MITCHELL'S DO GET A CHECK FOR CHILDPROOF LATCHES.

"There are a number of chemicals in there that are obviously dangerous for a child."

AND SOME CHEMICALS LIKE THIS BLUE GLASS CLEANER LOOK LIKE JUICE DRINKS TO KIDS.

TO MAKE SURE KIDS DON'T ESCAPE, A SECURITY ALARM ANNOUNCES OPEN DOORS.

THE FAMILY GETS A HIGH MARK FOR A WALL MOUNTED TV. TVS ON STANDS CAN EASILY FALL ON A CHILD.

A FIREPLACE HEARTH WITH A RAISED EDGE MIGHT CAUSE A CHILD TO TRIP INTO THE FIRE. KEEP KIDS THREE FEET AWAY!

TO PREVENT FURNITURE FROM TOPPLING, JEFF USES A WALL ANCHOR.

THE MITCHELL'S OLDEST SON HIT HIS HEAD ON A GLASS TABLE SO THEY MADE SOME CHANGES!

"We actually took him to Moses cone and had him looked at and ever since then, all of our furniture is round and padded. Ha, Ha!"

NEXT, CAPTAIN HARRIS FOUND A MAJOR STRANGULATION HAZARD-LOW HANGING WINDOW BLIND CORDS THAT SHOULD BE TUCKED UP HIGH.

WHEN HARRIS WAS A YOUNG BOY, HE ALMOST DIED FROM CORDS WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK.

"My Dad fortunately found me within a matter of seconds, but at that point he went through the rooms and cut every cord off of blinds in the house."

JUST A FEW YEARS AFTER THEY BECAME A FAVORITE OF THOSE WHO LOVE TO READ. SOME ARE READY TO WRITE THE OBITUARY ON EREADERS.

NEITHER AMAZON NOR BARNES AND NOBLES WILL RELEASE FIGURES. ON THEIR KINDLES. OR NOOKS. BUT SALES OF BOTH ARE SAID TO HAVE NOTICEABLY FALLEN OFF.

"I wouldn't say it hasn't gone off a cliff or a fiscal cliff, if you will, but it's definitely leveled off"

CNET'S DAVID CARNOY. THINKS EREADER SALES WILL PICK RIGHT UP AGAIN COME THE HOLIDAYS. BECAUSE OF THE PLUMMETING PRICE TAG.

"These dedicated ereaders are becoming so cheap.it's just another item that people are gonna buy."

HOWEVER, OTHERS IN THE TECH-WORLD SAY EREADERS ARE BEING RENDERED REDUNDANT.EVEN OBSOLETE.

.BY TABLET COMPUTERS. THAT OFFER SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST.READING.

BUT CARNOY BELIEVES THAT'S THE EREADER'S APPEAL.

"The one thing that people complain about is that they're distracted when they use these tablets.there are games on them.there are movies and really if you're going to do reading, a lot of people just like having that dedicated ereading device."

HE SAYS THE LCD SCREENS OF TABLETS AREN'T AS EASY TO READ, ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE. PLUS EREADER BATTERIES LASTS SO MUCH LONGER.

. AND ADDS.EREADERS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE HARDWARE.

"Ultimately, Amazon, Barnes & Nobles.they really just want you using their platform to buy books.it's really about the books."

CONGRESS CHALLENGES, FISCAL CLIFF-ONCAM

NOW THAT CONGRESS IS BACK TO WORK,

THERE'S A BIG CHALLENGE FACING LAWMAKERS.

THEY HAVE TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF.

CONGRESS CHALLENGES, FISCAL CLIFF-PKG

"It's time to get back to work."

WITH THE ELECTION IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR, THE FOCUS IN WASHINGTON IS BACK ON EFFORTS TO AVOID THE ECONOMICALLY DEVASTATING FISCAL CLIFF.

"If we just go over the cliff and let those policies stay in effect, we're basically going to undo the recovery. Neither party really wants to be blamed for that."

THE CLIFF AMOUNTS TO SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS IN SPENDING CUTS AND TAX INCREASES OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

THE THREAT OF THESE PAINFUL CUTS-- SET TO BEGIN ON JANUARY FIRST-- IS PART OF A DEAL CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT MADE LAST YEAR TO FORCE THEM TO AGREE ON A LONG-TERM DEFICIT REDUCTION PLAN.

"This is an unprecedented scenario that Congress has, basically put a gun to its own head and said if we don't act, we're gonna shoot ourselves."

SO FAR, THAT LONG-TERM PLAN, HASN'T MATERIALIZED.

THE BIGGEST CHUNK OF THE CLIFF?

THE BUSH TAX CUTS.

THEY'RE ALSO A BIG STICKING POINT.

DEMOCRATS INSIST CUTS FOR FAMILIES MAKING 250-THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE MUST END.

"If we're serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue and that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes."

REPUBLICANS SAY THAT WILL HURT THE ECONOMY.

"Feeding the growth of government through higher tax rates won't help us solve the problem."

BUT THE SPEAKER ALSO SIGNALED WHAT COULD BE AN OPENING-- SAYING RAISING MORE REVENUE IS NOW ON THE TABLE AS LONG AS IT COMES FROM TAX REFORM AND NOT HIGHER RATES.

ONE THING THAT'S CLEAR-- LAWMAKERS WANT THE PRESIDENT TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY DEAL-MAKING

"I think it's important for us to come to an agreement with the president, but this is his opportunity to lead."

AND TAXES AREN'T THE ONLY HANG-UP.

CONGRESS ALSO HAS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REDUCE SPENDING ON ENTITLEMENTS LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE-- THE DEMOCRATS' SACRED COWS.

WITH THE BALANCE OF POWER UNCHANGED ON CAPITOL HILL-- FINDING THAT ELUSIVE COMMON GROUND ON THESE ISSUES COULD BE TOUGH-- BOTH IN THE LAME DUCK SESSION-- AND BEYOND.

A SHORT-TERM DEAL THAT POSTPONES THE CLIFF APPEARS MOST LIKELY.

"Just give everybody a little bit of time, a little bit of breathing room to get back next year and, in the meantime, think about what and exactly how you want to do this and give everybody time to negotiate quite frankly."

IT'S SURE BE A LONG AND ROCKY ROAD AHEAD.

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

The warming trend that started over the weekend will carry over into our Monday, and we may even see a few passing showers roaming across Southwest Florida through the day.

The main headline today is that we expect another warm and breezy day with a swift easterly breeze coming in at 5-15 mph with some higher gusts near 20 mph.

With no cold fronts coming to Southwest Florida during the week, temperatures will continue to stay fairly warm. Daytime highs in most spots will reach the mid 80s with highs close to the coast reaching the low 80s.

While rain prospects don't look to promising through the next several days, we will mention the potential for some passing showers today as some Atlantic moisture gets carried over with the easterly winds. If you manage to get a passing shower, it likely won't be too heavy or long lived. Aside from a few isolated showers, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the day.

Tuesday will be another warm day with highs in the mid 80s and a partly cloudy sky. A stray afternoon shower will be possible, but these will be pretty scarce.

Another change you'll likely notice this week is the higher humidity levels. It's not going to be a big jump, but this week will be a little more humid compared to that dry, crisp air we had a few days ago.

Confidence continues to remain high the next front that moves into the state will stall before making to Southwest Florida, so the mild, warm weather will continue all the way into the upcoming weekend.
