>> IT IS STILL OPEN, SO FAR SO
GOOD THE WINDS AT LEAST RIGHT
NOW, ARE NOTHING LIKE THEY WERE
YESTERDAY, AND THE SMOKE AND
FLAMES ARE CLEAR OF THE ROAD
RIGHT NOW, FLAMES ARE JUST SMALL
FLARE UPS, BUT FIREFIGHTERS
REMAIN VIGILAN
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING
HERE.
EXHAUSTED FIREFIGHTERS, WORKING
ON THIS UNUSUALLY HOT SPRING
DAY, STUCK TO THE WORK, BREAKING
LONG ENOUGH TO FILL THEIR TANKS
>> TAKING AIM AT HOT SPOTS THEY
COVERED 250 NOW CHARRED ACRES
DURING THE WORST OF THE FIRE
STORM, WORKED LONG INTO THE
NIGHT.
STILL AT IT NOW CREATING THAT
CONTAINMENT ZONE.
>> THEY ARE GREAT LINES AROUND
THE FIRE BUT WE'RE JUST GOING
OUT THERE, IMPROVING THE LINES,
MAKING THEM WIDER, YOU KNOW THEY
ARE UPWARDS OF 20-30 FEET WIDE
>> THE FIRE STARTED ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF STATE ROAD 44 NOTICED
FIRST BY ONE OF THE FEW RURAL
HOMEOWNERS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA
WHO WAS JUST PULLING OUT.
>> I'M GOING TO TRY AND PUT IT
OUT MYSELF IT'S NOT TOO BIG YET.
IT'S ON MY DRIVEWAY AND I DON'T
KNOW HOW IT STARTED.
AM FILLING UP SOME BUCKETS RIGHT
NOW.
>> BUT THIS WAS NOT A JOB FOR A
BUCKET BRIGADE EVEN AS THE
CALLER WAS ON THE PHONE, THE
WIND PICKED UP FIRE GOT INTO
TREES.
GROWING FROM ONE ACRE TO SEVERAL
ACRES ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THEN
SPOTTING OVER 44 TO THE NORTH
SIDE, IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS, THE
BRUSHFIRE GREW TO 250 ACRES.
>> IT HASN'T BURNED IN THIS AREA
IN A LONG TIME, I THINK SINCE 98
SO SOME OF THE VEGETATION, WE
GOT A LOT OF BUILD UP IN THERE,
>> CHOPPER 2 FLEW THE FIRE ZONE
JUST A SHORT WHILE AGO AND NO
SIGNIFICANT FLARE UPS AND THE
WIND HAS BEEN TAMER LUCKILY,
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW
HUNTING CAMPS, NO HOMES OR
BUSINESSES ARE IN THE FIRE'S
PATH NO STRUCTURES LOST.
BACKLIGHT AND OUTCOME AS YOU
CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE STILL
MOPPING UP.
THIS IS THE SOUTHERN SIDE, THIS
THING IT JUMPED THE LIFE IT WE
HAVE DEFINITE INFORMATION AND
THEY TELL US OF THE FIRE IS 85%
CONTAINED.
THEY ARE MAKING SOME PROGRESS.
THEY ARE ABLE TO ACCURATELY MAP
THE BLAZE BECAUSE THINGS ARE
CALLED HER.
THEY HAVE REVISITED 215 ACRES,
THAT IS NOT AS MUCH LAND LUSTED
NO HOMES OR BUSINESSES, THAT IS
THE PLUS GRADE THESE FOLKS WILL
LIKELY BE UNDER THE WEEKEND.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT
THE ROADS ARE NOT IMPACTED.
