Our regularly scheduled program was pre-empted this month for a special live 2-hour program about the recovery from the devastating fires in the North Bay.
Greg Miraglia and Gary Carnivele co-hosted this special and talk with LGBT community leaders. They share their stories from the fire and talk about the long recovery ahead.
While the damage from the fires is unimaginable and unprecedented, it could have been even worse had it not been for the incredible work done by the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, and community leaders. First responders from around the world responded to our hour of need and we will be forever grateful.
