FIRE IN THE BALDWIN HILLS-Inglewood Oil Field

A neighbor reports: I can see from my back yard. Smoke blowing to La Cienega. At least five choppers and 1-2 making drops. I saw at least a dozen firefighters on the ground. 

We should all contact the CC council and LA County to echo what Doug Shields (Pittsburg city council) said when he was here last spring:  fire dept. and first responders must have special training/equipment to work with fracking chemical fires/hazards.  BTW, who do you think pays for this?
