BOTH SIDES OF THE PCH WERE BOOMING WITH FIRE. IVE NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE IT. MULLEN IS A BATTALION CHIEF FOR LAFD AND PATROLLING FOR HOTSPOTS OVER THE PAST SIX DAYS. HIS LIFELONG FRIENDS FROM SOUTHIE ARE WATCHING BACK HOME. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REALLY HELP THEM RIGHT NOW IS TO PRAY FOR THEM AND, YOU KNOW, SEND THEM GOOD WISHES AND JUST LET THEM KNOW THAT SOUTH BOSTON AND BOSTON, THE CITY OF BOSTON, ARE BEHIND THEM. AROUND SOUTHIE, THE MULLEN BROTHERS ARE NOW PART OF A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN AT LOCAL BARS AND RESTAURANTS, RAISING MONEY FOR L.A. FIRE VICTIMS. A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM A NEW DRINK CALLED THE SOUTHIE TWINS WILL GO TO L.A. FIRE VICTIMS. WE DECIDED TO PUT THIS COCKTAIL ON TO SHOW THE GUYS OVER IN LA THAT WERE HERE. WE ALL SUPPORT THEM. THIS IS THE COUNTY LINE. WHILE THE MULLINS ARE HELPING BATTLE THE LARGEST FIRE IN L.A. HISTORY, THE WHOLE CITY IS ON STANDBY, ON ALERT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE WINDS COME. YOU LIGHT ONE LITTLE MATCH, ITLL TAKE OUT A WHOLE CITY. MULLANE TOLD ME THIS AFTERNOON HE KNOWS SIX L.A. FIREFIGHTERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES IN THESE FIRES. TONIGHT WERE IN SOUTH BOSTON.
