Hi Da'Shante. We frequently write about Palo Alto fires as well, including a couple that were recently set along Interstate 280 and fires behind Palo Alto High School.
Please do not think our reporting is racially motivated. It is just news, especially when people hear a lot of sirens and see helicopters overhead and they wonder what is going on.
We also write positive stories about East Palo Alto youth and programs, and we welcome any potential ideas for stories that show the community in a positive light.
