Wildfires Blazing Through Southland

Hosted by

Massive fires are all too common in southern California. We hear what's unusual about this week's blazes. Is Mt. Wilson in danger? Also, can Mayor Villaraigosa invigorate his office by putting his gang czar in charge?  On our rebroadcast of Today's To the Point, the US is faced with a possible flu epidemic this fall, and plans are being made for extreme emergencies. If medical facilities are overwhelmed, who gets access first? Who makes that decision? What can be learned from what happened after Katrina just four years ago?
