All I get is a busy signal. 404 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,320 She asked the operator to cut in. 405 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,440 I did. She says it's out of order. 406 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:24,600 It scares me a little. Maybe the lines are down. 407 00:26:25,550 --> 00:26:26,529 I gotta get home. 408 00:26:26,530 --> 00:26:29,930 I wish I had a bigger car to put things in.

I'll see you guys later. 411 00:26:34,670 --> 00:26:35,670 Good luck, Charlie. 412 00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:43,170 In a related development at City Hall, the mayor announced that he has asked 413 00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:46,330 governor to declare a state of emergency for the entire fire area. Oh, then he 414 00:26:46,330 --> 00:26:47,610 was about a thousand of those. 415 00:26:48,210 --> 00:26:51,030 Kind of like spitting into a furnace, isn't it? 416 00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:38,550 that reverse telephone directory? 417 00:27:38,730 --> 00:27:41,030 I reached a couple of people, but mostly I just get busy signals. 418 00:27:41,770 --> 00:27:45,530 Except for one old lady who didn't know there was a fire a block away from her 419 00:27:45,530 --> 00:27:47,470 house. I got a great quote from her. Who? 420 00:27:48,430 --> 00:27:50,230 Who?

Then the summer heat dries it out. It's like 427 00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:11,100 tinder. The slightest little thing will set it off. 428 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,940 Like a firebug with a torch. 429 00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:17,240 There's that, but this can't all be arson. Some of it's due to natural 430 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:18,980 You know, spontaneous combustion, lightning. 431 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,019 All right. 432 00:28:21,020 --> 00:28:22,020 Thank you. 433 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,040 They set up two more centers for the evacuation of the Berndot families. 434 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,920 at Moraga Elementary School.

He 446 00:29:22,350 --> 00:29:25,530 lost his home. Can you comment on that? Well, I am very proud of the way the 447 00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:28,050 department is performing the first few hours of this fire. 448 00:29:28,690 --> 00:29:31,810 As you can see, we've been hampered by some heavy winds here. 449 00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:36,390 Yeah, aren't those narrow roads making it difficult to deploy or set up your 450 00:29:36,390 --> 00:29:37,390 equipment effectively? 451 00:29:37,690 --> 00:29:41,170 You betcha.
