State authorities will be fanning out this morning across areas charred
by the huge Station fire, posting warning signs to alert homeowners
about illegal contractors.
Investigators with the fraud team of the Contractors State License Board will be posting the signs and talking to residents.
"We do everything we can to make sure these homeowners aren't victimized a second time," said contractors board Registrar Steve Sands.
