Pic from earlier today.
The fire apparently consumed a house where they had been filming and then jumped the highway -- a move firefighters had not anticipated.
"We did not realize there was so much smoke. Chuck could not start the truck. The fire was on both sides of the way and it met right above us. ... We just had to leave and even then... I started to realize it's not just the fire, it's the smoke and the unbearable heat. Fortunately I had this heavy coat [refers to protective gear] otherwise I wouldn't be standing here talking to you," said Lee.
Firefighters in a pick-up rescued the duo and took them down the road to another NBC4 team. The news truck was left behind and presumably destroyed by the fire.
Oh, it's gone all right. My question is whether the cost will come out of Chuck's salary?
