The Fire Roars in LA County

15Oct08

For the last three days we’ve been getting an early start on our morning live coverage of the Marek and Sesnon Fires.  Monday we were first on the scene of the mobile home park that was mostly destroyed because of the fire off Lopez Canyon.  The scene was a sad one as we saw home leveled, cars burned beyond recognition and bicycles belonging to children.  It really puts into perspective that this didn’t just affect people but families.

Tuesday we spent the day in Granada Hills where the fire seemed to be non-stop as flareups came and went all along Sesnon Blvd. and Louise Ave.  At one point we had to cut our live transmission to move because the fire suddenly turned towards us as the winds picked up.  It was a scarey moment but one that really shows how unpredictable the fire can be.
