And the reporters could have done something....

As I read this story on CNN, Mobile home dwellers ride out wildfire, wait for help to arrive and the fact that it appears that this particular CNN reporter was actually there on the scene taking photographs and interviewing the people who were stranded, certain thoughts came to mind.

Why didn't he offer them water? Transportation? A trip down to get them supplies? Of course that would have ruined the story of him reporting:

Firefighters passing through have given them a few bottles of water and pieces of fruit, but otherwise they're on their own until help comes to them, he said.

Officials have said roads into the area could remain closed into next week. The Harris fire was still only 20 percent contained early Friday.

"The only thing I'm worried about is her [Carter]," Flores said. "As far as me and John, we're young, we can survive it. But if it gets too hot and she doesn't have enough water or something to drink, I'm sure we'll lose her, because she's on medication as it is."

If the reporter somehow managed to get in there and then get out to report the story, surely you'd think that some type of help could have been given. Don't we as human beings have some type of moral responsibility when it comes to situations like this or is all that matters the story?
