The kitten caper

CHP officers may have saved a box full of kittens from burning to death in a flaming SUV in South El Monte near Rooks Road and Peck, officials said -- or did they.

SGV crack crime ace Brian Day is getting conflicting reports from Chippies at the SFS office and firefighters on duty at County Station 90.

Chippies are saying they saved the kats. Fire says the cats were in a box at the side of the road.

There are no witnesses, but we are hoping the Chippies who were on scene last night help get this all cleared up. Where are Ponch and John when we need 'em?
