Reporter Natalie Brunell has ditched the “Live Pad” of KESQ and moved up north to Sacramento where she was covering the Trailhead Fire – which has burned through 350 acres in the Sierra Foothills. While reporting on the story, Brunell and her camera man, Alan, discovered that maybe they should have set up a little further away.

Watch:

Brunell explained in her Facebook post that the pair is safe, but Alan is soaked.

Also, someone is going to have a hell of a time cleaning that van.
