Other than losing the services of 100 firefighters who have been dispatched to the mammoth blazes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, Orange County has escaped unscathed from Southern California's current round of infernos.
There hasn't even been that much smoke here, which is precisely

NEWPORT BEACH, CA, Sept 3, 2009. With the devastation of the recent Southern California fires, the Fairmont Newport Beach is offering a special discounted rate of $119.00 for all Californians impacted by the recent devastation. This rate is valid through November 30th, 2009 and waives all pet policy deposits.
It would be interesting to know what the occupancy rate was at hotel at 4500 MacArthur Blvd. before the fortuitous, er, unfortunate events in the mountains ringing LA.
