The actual specifics of damage that may have occurred in one of the residential areas here in ridgecrest. to speak on that well have the battalion chief from kern county. >> as far as the structure fire we had, we had units en route to a hazardous condition, but one of our officers reported a heavy smoke column. they diverted to that we had a working fire. they got on it quickly. normally were looking at a five-engine response. but due to the nature of the mass calls we had going on, we actually...

Just a half a mile in a neighborhood just adjacent to this one. we are told that the people inside of that home are okay, that they were not injured, but the home is a total loss there. so we got to have a conversation with one of the battalion chiefs that was out there, and he talked to us a bit about the fact that there have been four fires, and in a town this size, about 27 to 28,000 people, it is significant. all of those fires, by the way, happening after either the 6.4 quake or the 7.1 maj...

What do you know? >> thats right. as we so often do, the first response from the president sometimes comes on twitter. thats where we have heard from him directly, as you mentioned, that the fire is now out and he wanted to thank the firemen and women for the job they had done. now, we know that in addition to the president being at the white house tonight, the first lady and their son barron are both in washington tonight. its an interesting night here, because the pool who covers the president...

Department official. right now, they have 140 firefighters on scene. its a three alarm fire response and at this point, there is one serious injury. that injury was not to a firefighter, so theres somebody who was at the building. not sure if its somebody b who lives at trump tower, works there or is part of the building you know, is a building employee, so the details on who that person is at this point is unclear. the information that somebody was injured just came in. so thats kind of prelimi...

Trump, as well as son, barren, n not here at the time. at this moment. theyre in washington, d.c. that would be another question many would be concerned about. that the first lady as well as the first son might be back in d.c. but, excuse me, in new york, but they are in d.c. at the moment. we are hearing that the flames on this upper floor was a residential unit. we do not know which floor of this particular fire, but we know that the again, the president is aware of what happened as you saw on...

And thats as far as getting smoke out of the building. so at this point, thats where things stand. no longer any additional units being added to the fire. and at this point just to recap, one person has been seriously injured, and at this point theres been no injuries to firefighters, 140 of them on scene. >> yeah, tom, you were reporting earlier 140 firefighters and i was watching some of live video, as we saw some of the firefighting personnel now leaving it, appears, or walking away from the ...

Havent had a chance to talk about that. >> youre the man with all resources, tom winter. were getting more information, and we believe the fire has been extinguished, thats what we are hearing. we also have a picture thats been put out by the fdny, which we can show of the fire when it was happening, that head put out. this tweet reads of a three-alarm fire at 721 fifth avenue, there are currently no injuries reported. you get a sense of where that fire is. not at the top of the building itself ...

Firefighters watching this. thats a normal part of a post-fire, one of the things you want to do is get that smoke out of there, and allow you to search and see if theres any fire hiding in the walls. in a large building like this where you have a lot of steel concrete construction and firepro fireproofing, that may be less of a concern, but thats something theyre working on. >> we have seen this, you and i both being in this part of manhattan, where they will occasional close down certain stree...
