Gilbert Fire and Rescue’s best arson investigator is a 4-year-old Lab named Zeta


 Zehring is the fire investigator for Gilbert Fire and Rescue, and Zeta is trained to detect arson.

“Who … is … going … to … jail … today?”

Zeta, who’s 4, points her nose at my right hand, where the wood is tucked between my fingers.

“You are!” Zehring tells me as he feeds Zeta a treat.

Zeta trains twice a day as an accelerant detection canine for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. She’s the only such dog in Arizona, and has solved 95 arson cases.

In just 20 minutes, Zeta can determine the cause of a fire, something that can take investigators hours or days.

Zeta can detect and signal minute traces of six fire accelerants. She sits when she smells an accelerant and then “shows,” or puts her nose on the exact spot where the accelerant is.

Larimer Liquors wants to be your next favorite beer and shot bar

Image
  Growing up in a small town in the Midwest, Sudy Kudva attended a lot of high school weddings at the local Elks Lodge, and he’s got a lot of great memories from those celebratory nights. So next year, Kudva plans to open Larimer Liquors, at 3122 Larimer St., a beer and shot bar inspired by that time. “At Elks Lodge, they have chilled beer glasses, inexpensive beer and one-ounce shots,” Kudva said, adding that he drank a lot of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Stag. “It’s decorated with wood paneling, and it’s just very warm and comforting. But you couldn’t get an old-fashioned there,” he added. The idea is to juxtapose Larimer Liquors with Gold Point, which is a more high-end cocktail bar that Kudva and his investors own right next door. CLICK HERE WEBSITE
