Spreading rapidly. do you know if it's damaged your home? >> no, we were very fortunate in ute park. there were about 30 structures within the limits of the fire as it went through the park, and none of them were damaged. and we kind of attribute that to the fact that we're all a fire watch community, and by that i mean over the last three or four years we've established 50-yard fire boundaries around each home so that if we do get a fire like we do have now, it can't get much closer than 50 yards around the boundaries of the houses. so that's a program that's pretty much spread throughout the...
