  5. Shame on you Matt Gutman! I hope you are removed from being allowed into any wildfire. You trampled a crime scene.

  6. Thank you for reporting on the fire. It helps the public to understand to extent of the damage and how much help people will need to recover.

  7. This video and the completely inappropriate, unprofessional behavior of the journalist has permanently damaged media access within wildfire perimeters.

    100% ID check of all occupants of media vehicles will be the new normal and anyone without proper press credentials will not be permitted past checkpoints.

    News personnel can now expect to be stopped and challenged and required to show press credentials on all law enforcement contacts both within and outside emergency zones.

    There is now discussion of whether media will be permitted any access to private property in the absence of proof of permission from the owner or resident.

    Media policies that were previously liberal in allowing emergency services personnel to discuss their role are likely to be tightened to a "We are busy, please talk to a designated PIO at the incident base, goodbye now."

    ABC News, the new media champions of f__ around and find out. This comment is a personal opinion.

  8. You sir, are the biggest piece of excrement ever. What on earth makes you think it is ok to go into an area that has been closed off by police and put on live TV the area of someone's death and remains??? You have WAY overstepped your boundaries and I hope that the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department prosecutes you. All this for ratings? You're quite a POS.

  9. Shame on you ABC News. You know better than using your press pass to break the law!! You are not allowed to take citizens in. You are not allowed to go through burned out homes before the 1st Responders do. I'm so disgusted by what your reporter & crew did.

  10. I lost alot of respect for ABC News and this reporter.
    Actions of the media were deplorable.
    I truly hope the DA will file some sort of charges.

  11. Why build homes where is hazardous. A win for the bank and the government, A lose for the home owners. 😅😀😂🤣😝😜

  12. You disgusting pieces of garbage! Have you no sense of descency? The story is all that matters right? Say hi to the devil when you die.

  13. Arsonists are popping up everywhere.

  14. Should be arrested. Did you have permission to go on this land

  15. Timber sawed down should be gathered in long stripped areas. These areas should be wide enough so they can help stop forest fires from spreading and it would leave firefighters room enough to enter the stripped areas to fight the fires more easily. For the most part, timber should be cut down in the mountains that are closer to towns. I know that this would look strange but it could be very helpful to save people's homes and lives. It's like having a strategic war against forest fires. Most timber is selected individually to be cut down. That is ok as long as they cut the stripped areas out as well to prevent the spread of fires. When will they ever learn??

  16. Boycott ABC news!! You should be ashamed of yourself!! 🤬

  17. I was listening to the scanner. I don't know who started it, but they had to request extra back-up from the Sheriff's office because of unruly transients.
