LA fires rage on as those returning home try to ward off looters SCOTT SIMON, HOST: The nightmare in Los Angeles continues. BAKER: Well, to answer that question, I'd actually like to stay with Rich Snyder for a minute because I met up with him last night in Pasadena.

SNYDER: You know, you'd get an assignment if it was a street like this, and it would be, oh, 1216's on fire, 1102's on fire.
