His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Amid continuing community concern about major residential blazes in the Mission, San Francisco Supervisors David Campos and Jane Kim are charging that top-ranking members of the Fire Department are not being transparent enough about how the agency works to prevent and investigate fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A series of major blazes in the Mission District over the last 18 months has killed three people, displaced nearly 200 others and led to a push for tougher fire-safety regulations and enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blazes have also led some to express concern that arsonists are at work as part of a campaign to raze older, rent-controlled apartment buildings and replace them with market-rate structures -- a phenomenon some have called \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=gentri-fire&src=typd\" target=\"_blank\">gentri-fire\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fire Department \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/21/s-f-fire-officials-try-to-quell-concerns-about-blazes-in-mission-district\" target=\"_blank\">has offered assurances\u003c/a> that its investigators have found no evidence of arson in the major Mission fires, which were ruled accidental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most recent fire in the area, a five-alarm blaze that destroyed or heavily damaged several buildings at 29th and Mission streets, prompted Campos to write an op-ed piece titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/why-is-the-mission-burning/\">Why is the Mission Burning?\u003c/a>\" in the San Francisco Examiner this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a committee hearing on Wednesday, he reiterated the article's themes -- that even reasonable people now believe that arson has played a part in recent fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People in the Mission really feel under siege,\" Campos said during the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee hearing. \"The question that keeps coming up, to be honest, is the issue of arson.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos acknowledged he has no proof any of the blazes were deliberately set. But, he continued to float the idea that property owners might be burning their own buildings to kick out low-income tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even people who are not paranoid, people who are not believers in conspiracy theories, have a problem believing that these fires are just coincidental,\" Campos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that he feels that fire officials haven't offered much information to verify their findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not just going to trust the Fire Department,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White was emphatic that her agency has found no evidence of arson in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be irresponsible and inflammatory of us ... if we do not have scientific evidence ... to say that it's an incendiary fire,\" Hayes-White said. \"No one's hiding anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayes-White also touched on a theme that other department officials have stressed: that the city's housing crisis has crammed more people into smaller residential spaces and that the Mission's older housing stock was not built to handle the domestic electrical demands of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of that, the department says, it plans to focus inspections in the Mission and Chinatown neighborhoods in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting also included disputes between the supervisors and Hayes-White, Fire Marshal Dan De Cossio and Arson Capt. Attica Bowden over whether the department's statistics showed an increase in fire activity in the Mission. The dispute also involved the department's rules for releasing the results of fire investigations and how fast inspectors respond to complaints about code violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowden was unable to explain why the department doesn't release all reports on fire investigations to the public and De Cossio said he would get back to the committee on data showing its rate for fixing serious violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fire Department's investigations of two fatal apartment fires in the Mission last year found one building \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/26/no-smoke-detectors-in-mission-district-apartment-where-fire-killed-two\">lacked smoke detectors\u003c/a> and another had \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/13/source-exits-blocked-in-fatal-mission-district-fire\">blocked fire exits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But, he continued to float the idea that property owners might be burning their own buildings to kick out low-income tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even people who are not paranoid, people who are not believers in conspiracy theories, have a problem believing that these fires are just coincidental,\" Campos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that he feels that fire officials haven't offered much information to verify their findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not just going to trust the Fire Department,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White was emphatic that her agency has found no evidence of arson in the Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be irresponsible and inflammatory of us ... if we do not have scientific evidence ... to say that it's an incendiary fire,\" Hayes-White said. \"No one's hiding anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayes-White also touched on a theme that other department officials have stressed: that the city's housing crisis has crammed more people into smaller residential spaces and that the Mission's older housing stock was not built to handle the domestic electrical demands of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of that, the department says, it plans to focus inspections in the Mission and Chinatown neighborhoods in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting also included disputes between the supervisors and Hayes-White, Fire Marshal Dan De Cossio and Arson Capt. Attica Bowden over whether the department's statistics showed an increase in fire activity in the Mission. The dispute also involved the department's rules for releasing the results of fire investigations and how fast inspectors respond to complaints about code violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowden was unable to explain why the department doesn't release all reports on fire investigations to the public and De Cossio said he would get back to the committee on data showing its rate for fixing serious violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fire Department's investigations of two fatal apartment fires in the Mission last year found one building \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/26/no-smoke-detectors-in-mission-district-apartment-where-fire-killed-two\">lacked smoke detectors\u003c/a> and another had \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/13/source-exits-blocked-in-fatal-mission-district-fire\">blocked fire exits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
