Hi Lainie! I got home late and had no idea until I got home and heard Laura Diaz being simulcast on KNX.

On scene reporter says she heard ambulances 1/2 hour ago and saw residents across from hospital evacuating. She has seen ambulances leaving hospital and assumes they might be evacuating patients at Olive View Hospital.

I smell smoke big time. Smells like pine burning.

Why do they keep saying they’re fine not any problems with resources.

Fire embers blowing into camera.
Broadcast lost- weird off air glitch. Keeps reverting to prepaid informercial.

Roxford and Polk bad.

Fire started in Veterans Memorial Park. Wonder if it’s arson.

Bad driving conditions on 210 Freeway. Arco AM PM on fire exit North on 210 at Roxford; South at Polk on 210 Freeway according to phone call report right now. Olive View Village fire.

Because city officials never acknowledge stuff like that....especially in LA!

Mayor Teeth must have had a hot date for him not to get on TV yet
