The shot was recorded by a news media individual with a permit to travel freely and video record this incident (fire zone). The police officer knows the media person who is recording. The media individual is also well known among the CHP, Cal Trans, and National Guard in this area.

I apologize for posting this; it has caused questions about me not following LDC guidelines.

😊

No apology needed. It is good to know the background, thank you.

Can we know what news media this was - it would be great to see what else they have? AND as a "news" section - we like to credit the source of what we post.

Thanks for the information. If the image is from a media agency, then thanks for sharing it.

I don't think disaster relief is the same as a theocratic event. 

I know we are asked not to post images from LDC projects, and I was recently interviewed to be a volunteer at the Special Convent and there were signs asking everyone to not post any images to social media, so I assume that guideline extends to anything related to DRC. However, I don't know that for sure.

Like I've always said on Saturday morning cartoons in the 80/90s, he came on often! Especially during Christmas...

How’s the recovery coming along so far?

This is curious-interesting because I've seen images of the DRC going down the road in a flatbed truck with bright yellow crates emblazoned with our name and our website.  The crates hold relief supplies. It's quite deliberate, the brothers aren't being discreet at all. They're shouting "Here we come!!!"
