Fire cheif's stint as correspondent

Fire Chief Mike Bell's byline appeared in today's edition of the Whittier Daily News, the Daily Bulletin's sister paper. The chief, whose father is a longtime newsman for the Whittier paper, penned a 550-word piece on the Boy Scout's recent effort volunteer efforts at the Forest Lawn Scout Reservation in the San Bernardino Mountains near Lake Arrowhead.

I must say, my fire-fighting skills are not as good as Bell's writing skills.
