Luckily, luckily we have plenty of riggs. Good friends that came and family and they all rushed in when they saw smoke coming from the hills. By 9 00 tonight, some 2500 Hundred Acres burned and 250 firefighters on the front lines. Trying to get ahead of the fire. Back there, you have seen a couple of structures that are burned and the crews were able to take three of them. But one structure burned. We did lose one uninhabited structure and saved other structures. Aggressive fire, and fast offing. Its wind driven. And topography driven as well. Thats the worst kind of fire to fight, crews let some of the trees burn. The Rodriguez Family is grateful to have a home to sleep in tonight. They saved our house.
