I hear you Mark. Its 90+ degrees here and firefighting conditions are not the best.
A big "thumbs down" to the local news channels (CBS 2, NBC 4, ABC 7, and KCAL 9). 2, 4, and 9 are more concerned with $$$ while showing infomercials (hey, there's some important stuff to show while a local community is looking for assistance). ABC 7 (which is 4 hours late in showing any sort of coverage of the fire) feels its more important for us to know what in the "eff" is happening in Michigan and China. Big effing deal. Who cares.
This would have been a great way to become involved in the community and local coverage, but I guess everywhere else is more important than home
