It’s been a few weeks since my last post, but don’t worry. All is well. I started my new job at The Spokesman-Review as their breaking news and public safety reporter, but since my start date, I’ve covered a unique range of news.
Here’s some story samples:
Local weather station balloons aid nationwide data collection
Homeless man’s suitcase causes bridge bomb scare
Deputies stop stolen bus out for joyride
Abandoned grocery draws complaints from neighbors
I’m starting to get comfortable with my new shift and work load so now I can begin thinking about dumping out my memory cards like I used to.
A recent fire left four residents without a home in the Logan neighborhood. The fire burned a hole through a roof, but they had time to evacuate with their belongings in laundry baskets. Firefighters put out the fire before the damage spread to other floors.
A group of firefighters walked by me and one said, “Take a picture of this guy! He put out the fire! All he did was throw his jacket on it and rolled around a bit.” - I doubt that’s how the fire was extinguished, but I appreciate the humor on scene of breaking news.
The fire was also a block or so away from Donut Parade. Om nom nom nom.
One foggy morning, I took the elevator to the 7th floor of the Spokesman-Review building to see the downtown view. I almost slipped on a patch of ice, but I survived. Saw the steam plant smoke stacks disappearing into low cloud cover.
