[pct-l] PowerHouse Fire Santa Clarita

[Jim Banks]

Los Angeles TV stations were reporting that a few "hikers" were "rescued."
They were not PCT hikers.  None of them were in danger, but the TV stations
like to dramatize everything.

Just to clarify, NO hikers were "rescued from the fire". I have no idea who
started this rumor, but none were ever in any danger.
