Fire in Santa Cruz Mountains Roars On

From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tyrone Clark, 55, took note of the dearth of firefighters and took it upon himself to help protect his community. Wearing a kilt and T-shirt along with his mane of bushy brown hair, the longtime Boulder Creek resident was driving around in his pickup with a pump and water drum to douse flames.

Mr. Clark has been posting status videos regularly to Facebook, taken from the rooftop of the gas station in Boulder Creek.
