“It’s unfortunate and sickening,” Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton told reporters Sunday. AD“What we’re hearing from the community is there’s a lot of looting going on,” Hart said Sunday. The thief who took his wallet from the car racked up credit card charges as well as siphoning everything from the firefighter’s bank account, Hart said. “I can’t imagine a bigger lowlife than breaking into someone who is helping protect this community, breaking into his car and taking his wallet,” Hart said. Brunton urged residents to abide by evacuation orders, both to stay out of harm’s way and to help firefighters avoid any more thefts.
