we're still trying to look at some options to get in on this thing but it's going to be a while. not sure if we'll be able to get folks in tonight or not. >> the road structures were narrow, little, nasty -- a fire engine could barely make it down there, much less 30 or 40 of them, and crew buses and everything that's needed to -- to get in there. it was just a really bad scenario where that fire was. you could say it was the perfect storm. >> they were calling in crews from faraway, northern california, other states -- so i knew that response was going to take a long time. >> el coruso hotshots and vista grande hotshots are en route to your fire. copy, thanks. >> and so i tried to act as normal as possible because my daughter needed me to. i put her to bed at around 7:00 and i went upstairs to sit on the roof where i could get a really good view of it.
