The Santa Ana winds are whipping out of the California desert, as they do this time of year, spreading forest fires and attracting weather pornographers, as they do this time of year. "The wildfire began in an unpopulated national forest 20 miles north of downtown Los Angeles," NBC's Mark Mullen reported, and "quickly became an urban crisis." Some of the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley were evacuated as the Marek Fire jumped across an eight-lane freeway. ABC's Lisa Fletcher (embargoed link) showed us the scorched debris of an industrial park: "You can imagine how hot it must have been to just destroy these trucks." A homeless man had been on the scene and was burned to death. "Investigators say the original fire looks like arson," CBS' Bill Whitaker told us. "Arson plus one death makes this a murder scene."
