WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING THEM
HYDRATED AND FED.
ONCE THE MEN AND WOMEN ARE DONE

MIDDLE SCHOOL IN LAKE
ISABELLA.
FIRE CREWS ARE FED BY A LOCAL
CATERING SERVICE -- WHICH
CAN SERVE THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND
PEOPLE.
NOT TO MENTION.. A PLACE TO
REST.. AND.. A FLEET OF
BATHROOMS ARE
BROUGHT IN AS WELL.

23ABC RETURNS TO THE SCENE --

DESTRUCTION... THE TOLL... AND
REBUILDING PROCESS -- ON
OUR 30-MINUTE SPECIAL THE
ERSKINE FIRE: ONE YEAR LATER.
THAT AIRS THIS FRIDAY AT 6 P-M
RIGHT HERE ON 23ABC.
HAPPENING THIS MORNING...
FIREFIGHTERS ARE WORKING TO
CONTAIN A FUMING WILDFIRE NEAR
BIG BEAR.
THE HOLCOMB FIRE EXPLODED IN
SIZE LAST NIGHT. SO FAR, ITS
BURNED AT LEAST 850-ACRES AND IS
ZERO PERCENT
CONTAINED.
VOLUNTARY EVACUATIONS ARE
UNDERWAY, BUTOFFICIALS SAY
THE FIRE IS NOT A THREAT TO
HOMES.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS STILL
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
MANY QUESTIONS SURROUND THE
DEATH OF AMERICAN
STUDENT, OTTO WARMBIER
ABC'S JANAI NORMAN EXPLAINS WHAT
LAWMAKERS ARE
PUSHING FOR IN THE WAKE OF HIS
DEATH.
JN INTRO:
HE ARRIVED IN THE US LESS THAN A
WEEK
AGO, BUT RETURNED HOME IN A
COMA, SUFFERING FROM EXTENSIVE
BRAIN
DAMAGE. AND IT'S STILL UNCLEAR
HOW EXACTLY IT HAPPENED.
HE WAS THE COLLEGE JUNIOR TURNED
NORTH KOREAN PRISONER.
OTTO WARMBIER WAS ENROLLED AT
THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA WHEN HE
TRAVELED TO THE COMMUNIST
COUNTRY
AND WAS CAPTURED ON VIDEO
STEALING A PROPAGANDA POSTER.
NATS OTTO DRAGGED FROM COURT
STATE MEDIA CLAIMING HE WAS
WORKING TO
DEFAME NORTH KOREA AS A PAWN OF
THE US GOVERNMENT.
DESPITE HIS PLEAS FOR MERCY, HE
WAS
SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS HARD
LABOR.
WARMBIER - PLEASE SAVE MY LIFE.
PLEASE
THINK OF MY FAMILY.
AFTER 17 MONTHS HE RETURNED
HOME, BUT
UPON ARRIVAL, OTTO WAS CARRIED
OFF A PLANE, UNABLE TO WALK,
TALK, OR
RESPOND TO VERBAL COMMANDS.
DOCTOR - HIS NEUROLOGICAL
CONDITION CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED
AS A STATE OF UNRESPONSIVE
WAKEFULNESS
DOCTORS SAID THEY SAW NO
EVIDENCE OF
PHYSICAL BEATINGS OR OF
BOTULISM, WHICH NORTH KOREAN
OFFICIALS
CLAIM OTTO CONTRACTED AFTER
TAKING A SLEEPING PILL.
TRUMP - HE WAS IN VERY TOUGH
CONDITION BUT HE JUST PASSED
AWAY A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
TAG:
IT'S NOT YET CLEAR WHAT IMPACT
HIS
DEATH WILL HAVE ON THE ALREADY
TENSE SITUATION BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES
AND THE ROGUE NUCLEAR POWER, BUT
AT LEAST ONE TOP REPUBLICAN
WANTS
TO BAN TOURIST TRAVEL TO NK
AFTER OTTO WARMBIER'S DEATH. JN
