ff just said they have only one escape 78 south, in case they need to totally evacuate the town. recap the situation, i'll try to type. Ridge been burning for the last hour or so, whole town evac'd. ff and media all that's left. North of town, cloud of smoke, he doesn't knowo what that is, 3 miles north. ff been camped out all night. seeing flareups on the ridge (seeing fire trucks soming back into town?? or going south out of town??, not sure) showing house on ridge that has fire around it. showing helicopter still dipping to pond, getting water and dumping it on ridge. No other way to fight that ridge fire, except for helo, air tanker support. (hard to believe they can see in all that smoke. ) Now helo not dropping water on the ridge, going west. more fire engines heading north of town. naming cities on the fire trucks, people who have come to help.
