I’m writing this from inside one of our live trucks. As I look out the door, smoke pours in to the sky in the distance. While firefighters have made grounds on the Waldo Canyon Wildfire, it’s obvious mother nature is putting up one heck of a fight.

I’m normally off on Saturdays, but I’m filling in for another reporter who is on vacation. Tonight, I’m Reporting for the 5pm, 9pm and 10pm newscasts.
It’s starting to heat up again out here. Reporters who’ve been on the fire for days seem exhausted. We’re all waiting for a 4pm news briefing, where we’ll hopefully learn new information about the fire’s reach.

A new Reporter from Channel 7 stopped by our live truck to introduce himself. His name is Tak. He used to work down here in the Springs.

I also ran in to NBC News Correspondent Miguel Almaguer. He’s a really nice guy. He’s preparing a report for tonight’s NBC Nightly News.

That’s all for now. Keep checking my Facebook page for more updates throughout the day.
