    Universal Studios Rewards Fire Fighters

    That fire at Universal Studios was pretty big news, at least out here in La-La-Land. Now that the fire’s out and tour groups are being bussed around as usual, Universal Studios did a solid: The “Salute to California Firefighters” initiative allows all firefighters - who of course put out the fire and saved much of the back lot - can get free general admission to the studio. This is good for one fireman, and up to three guests get 50 percent off their general admission ticket too. Now, the freebie is for all fire department personnel, not just the ones who doused the flames. To obtain free admission, firefighters must show current photo employee identification at the Universal Studios Hollywood box office. Sounds like a nice way for firefighters to have a family-friendly day in Los Angeles!

    It turns out that the massive fire was started by a blowtorch. The New York City movie set was destroyed (sorry, King Kong), but Wisteria Lanes has emerged unscathed. I guess those housewives have a little less to be desperate about.
