>>> 36 YEARS AFTER THEY GUNNED THEIR PARENTS DOWN IN THEIR BEVERLY HILLS HOME, LYLE AND ERIK MENENDEZ ARE MAKING A CASE FOR FREEDOM.

TODAY ERIC APPEARED BEFORE THE PAROLE BOARD.

JOHN CARROLL JOINS US WITH MORE.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED?

>> Reporter: THE HEARING IS BEING HELD VIA TELECONFERENCE WITH THE PAROLE BOARD MEETING IN SACRAMENTO.

WE JUST LEARNED WITHIN THE PAST HOUR THAT THE HEARING IS STILL GOING ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE STARTED AT 8:30 THIS MORNING.

THIS IS THE SCENE OUTSIDE OF DONOVAN STATE PRISON.

VIDEO FROM BOTH SAN DIEGO AND LOS ANGELES CROWDED ALONG THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO THE PRISON ALTHOUGH WE WERE ALL KEPT WELL OUTSIDE THE PARKING LOT.

ONLY ONE REPORTER IN SACRAMENTO WAS ALLOWED ACCESS TO WATCH A LIVE STREAM OF THE PROCEEDINGS.

AS FAR AS THE DECISION GOES, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN.

THEY COULD DENY PAROLE, A DECISION THAT COULD BE APPEALED.

THEY COULD GRANT PAROLE.

IN THAT CASE THE LEGAL COUNSEL WILL REVIEW THE DECISION.

THEY HAVE 120 DAYS TO DO THAT.

IF THEY FIND THE DECISION WAS ARRIVED AT LEGALLY, THEN THE MATTER GOES TO GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM.

HE WOULD HAVE 30 DAYS TO SIGN OFF ON THE DECISION, MODIFY IT, OR DENY IT.

PAROLE FOR THE BROTHERS DID NOT BECOME A POSSIBILITY FOR THE BROTHERS AT ALL UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN A JUDGE RESENTENCED THEM TO 50 YEARS TO LIFE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.

TOMORROW IS LYLE'S TURN.

WE WILL BE BACK THERE AGAIN TOMORROW IN CASE SUPPORTERS ARE PROTESTERS SHOW UP.

WE WILL BRING YOU THE LATEST AS SOON AS WE KNOW IT.

IT'S ALSO CAUSED GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM TO DEDICATE AN EXTRA 47 FIRE ENGINES, NINE BULLDOZERS AND FIVE HELICOPTERS TO SAN DIEGO AND FOUR OTHER SAN DIEGO COUNTIES.

CAL FIRE CAPTAIN ROBERT JOHNSON SAID LEARNING TO USE EXTRA RESOURCES STRATEGICALLY BEFORE A FIRE BREAKS OUT IS A GOOD IDEA.

>> THIS ALLOWS US TO GET MY RESOURCES ON SCENE FASTER AND IT ELIMINATES SOME OF THE LACK TIME IN THE EVENT THERE'S A FIRE STORM.

>> Reporter: WEATHER CONDITIONS INCLUDE HEAT, LOW HUMIDITY, AND HIGH WINDS.

ANOTHER THING SAN DIEGO HAS AN ABUNDANCE IS DRY BRUSH.

IT GETS BELOW 60%, THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE CRITICAL LEVELS .

CURRENTLY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY THE FUEL MOISTURE IN CERTAIN AREAS ARE BELOW THAT CRITICAL LIVE FUEL MOISTURE LEVEL.

>> Reporter: SO FAR SAN DIEGO HAS NOT HAD A HOT SUMMER.

TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN BELOW AVERAGE.

WINTER DID NOT BRING MUCH RAIN AND SUMMER DID NOT BRING MONSOONAL CONDITIONS THAT NORMALLY CAUSE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

METEOROLOGIST ALEX TARDY SAID THAT WAS TRUE FOR MOST OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.

>> WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

WE HAVE SEEN ALMOST NOTHING.

IT HAS BEEN A REALLY DRY, INCREDIBLY TRY.

NOT JUST FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT UTAH AND ARIZONA.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS PEOPLE NEED TO BE CAREFUL AS THE THREAT OF FIRE INCREASES.

ALMOST ALL FIRES ARE CAUSED BY HUMAN ACT OF EDDIE SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU ARE USING ANY DEVICE THAT CAN CAUSE A SPARK.

>> Reporter: DR. FORTUNA SAID THESE COLLABORATIONS ARE CRUCIAL.

>> IF THEY ARE WORKING WITH A COUNSELOR OR SCHOOLS, SETTING UP PLANS IF WE WERE SEPARATED.

IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?

WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP.

LOOK ON THE MAP.

BEAR VALLEY.

MAKES YOU WONDER IF THERE EVER WAS A BEAR.

NOW THERE IS A BEAR.

A CALIFORNIA GRIZZLY LIKE THE ONE FROM WHICH IT TURNS OUT BEAR VALLEY WAS NAMED.

THE STORY IS THAT IN THIS VALLEY WELL OVER A CENTURY AGO THERE WAS A HUGE GRIZZLY BEAR.

2200 AND BEAR, THE BIGGEST ONE EVER SEEN IN CALIFORNIA.

IT HAD BEEN KILLING ANIMALS, TERRORIZING PEOPLE.

BEHIND THIS HOUSE THEY FINALLY SHOT AND KILLED THE BEAR, BROUGHT IT TO A NEIGHBOR'S RANCH, WEIGHED IT MORE THAN A TON AND FROM THAT POINT ON IT WAS CALLED FAIR -- BEAR VALLEY.

PEACHES FROM HASKELL FARMS, ONE TASTE IS WORTH 100 WORDS.

A PURE PRODUCT OF BEAR VALLEY.

TODAY, THE HOUSE ON THE PROPERTY WHERE THE BEAR WAS SHOT IS PRETTY MUCH GONE.

AT THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM THEY HAVE A GRIZZLY THAT IS BIG AND SCARY BUT NOT AS BIG AS THE LEGENDARY BEAR THAT BEAR VALLEY WAS NAMED FOR.

EVEN THOUGH YOU STILL SEE THE NAME BEAR VALLEY HERE AND THERE THE OFFICIAL NAME OF THE TOWN NEAR WHERE IT ALL HAPPENED HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM BEAR VALLEY TO VALLEY CENTER IN CASE ANYBODY EVER ASKS YOU THAT QUESTION ABOUT SAN DIEGO.
