Trigo fire.
Somehow after meeting the wolf lady the Trigo fire seemed to *matter*. We've been covering it but mostly just reading headlines. Today was on the phone all day and the story kept changing. Finally got through to one of the fire managers at 4:20 and she told me something new that let us break a story in the fire's development. Domenici talked to the Forest Service chief and the Governor's going down to Torreon *early* tomorrow morning, which I only find out about after going on air. He announces after I get off the air that FEMA's freeing up funds for the fire which has so far cost 2 million dollars, burned close to 3800 acres, destroyed 9 houses, 9 outbuildings, and 2 mobile homes. First newscase was great, second was a mess. The information just kept changing and I was trying to cover both the latest with the fire and all the other stories happening. I need to keep it simple. In time. Tommorrow I drive to Torreon, bright and early.
