Why Couldn't it Have Been Paul Moyer?
Fire! Fire! Whoo-hoo! If there was ever a story tailor-made for our shoot-video-first-ask-questions-later local news teams, it's the big L.A. inferno. We're talking about news agencies that will drop everything and cover "BREAKING NEWS" when a few flames are shooting out of a small warehouse in Downey, after all.

Of course, the inferno also means an onslaught of LA reporters aiming for fire bragging rights. Like dear, dear Chuck Henry. Chuck got a little too close to the flames and had to be rescued, along with his cameraman. Their KNBC news van was totaled. Did someone forget to tell Chuck that, umm, maybe he should step back from the flames a few more feet?

"The truck is nothing," Chuck told... his own news team. (Easy for you to say, Chuck, that's not your truck!) "What we did was part of work... and we were watching this person's house, and they had tried their best to save it. I feel so badly for the people who lost their possessions."
