#SaddleridgeFire: Two homes on fire along Celtic and Laughton — a few of us are knocking on doors because some people came running up the street asking what was happening. It’s 1am and people are sleeping. No fire department crews in this area @ABC7
We’re passing the baton to @abc7johngregory & the AM crew.
