At 8 am this morning Southwest Airlines departed Hobby Airport for California. Onboard were over 100 Texas firefighters, 40 of those from the Houston area including Montgomery County. The flight donated by Southwest Airlines will return this evening with firefighters from our area which the new firefighters will switch out with for a 3-week deployment on the largest wild fires in California’s history.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
