We were driving across a bridge and saw a massive fire north of us. Near the house. So I was concerned. I checked the local new websites with my iPhone for more info. I found none. It was a Saturday and everyone in newsrooms are very lazy on Saturdays. I should know, I was a weekend producer.
So I sent in a picture taken from the iPhone while we went over a bridge in the Miata with the top down. I complained that no one had info on the fire in the email accompanying it.
And then I was famous!!
