Citizen journalist enthusiastically reports local house fire

Rhoda Young turned in a series of high-energy live reports after being first journalist on the scene of a house fire in Norfolk, Virginia. It’s got everything local news should have: vertical video, swearing, interfering with authorities.

Young says she is recording the report for NBC affiliate WAVY-TV. She even gets an exclusive with the resident of the house: “He was coming from the store with his six pack of red blue and white ribbon beer.” After being informed of the brand by the distraught resident, Young quickly amends her report to note that it was PBR.
