Doug Sovern is away today. All this week on KCBS, we've been sharing the special reports of our very own Holly Quan and Matt Bigler, who covered the firestorms earlier this year in Los Angeles. The five-part series called "Race Against the Flames," looks at how a tragedy like the Palisades and Eaton fires would impact the Bay Area, and also finds out how homeowners are preparing.

To talk more about it, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with reporters Holly and Matt.
