4:00  On the air.  Craig’s 3-min. Rockland intro is running.  Frank De Clercq of San Diego City Local 145 is on standby and he’ll be first on.

4:10  De Clercq is reporting that they’re getting a big break in the weather out there….winds died down and even a light drizzle.  Craig is asking about how they cover these big fires and still handle the routine calls you get every day.

4:12  He’s telling that a resource study the city did shows the city is shorthanded by 22 stations and 300 FF’s.  This week they are having heavy recalls and working 72-hr. shifts.

4:15  Talking about the 5 FF’s that lost their homes to the fires while they were out on duty.

4:20  The FF brothers are taking care of their immediate needs with things like clothing, toothpaste.  But the major need for donations will be money to help with covering gaps in insurance coverage and similar cash needs.
