My Real Estate Independence DayIt happened exactly 10 years ago this month.There were four of us TV news cameramen. Together we sat crammed inside a dingy hotel room in Springerville, Arizona. The smell of smoke hung in the air, it’s source was our clothes, shoes, hair and pores. You’d have thought we’d spent the night sitting around a campfire.Less than 5 miles away, the Rodeo-Chediski brush fire burned out of control.
