I still can’t believe the paper doesn’t put editorial content on the front page and this is just another example.

But I would like to point out something about the “yellow shirts and hard hats” the N.G. seems to find so loathsome.

It’s fire protective Nomex equipment, and generally reporters and photographers are not even allowed near the fire line by authorities unless they are wearing this gear, which is for their own good. I suppose one could placate the N.G. and not appear on camera while wearing it, by scurrying off the fire line (being careful not to step in any puddles caused by water and thus getting a two-fer Dope Award) to one’s news vehicle, then changing into street clothes, then doing an on-camera appearance, then changing back into Nomex, and scuttling back to the fire line (again hopping over possible puddles)to continue reporting the story.

Oh, silly me.

But I do concede that it is stupid and Dope-awardish to wear Nomex in the studio, for example…as I have seen some do…or 60 miles away from the fire with a tie.
