While I get that it's much easier to share a news article, they are not blocked from just posting in their own words that a fire is happening and that an evacuation has been called for the location their friends or family are in.
If it's so important that they make sure their loved ones know about it, it's probably worth a bit of typing.
The lack of news thing does suck, and I get trying to find any angle to convince meta to bring news back. But I don't think this will be the angle.
