Hopefully they get it contained with minimal damage.
An engine from Carlotta just passed by here at the 19 mile marker a fewminutes ago, so should be on scene about now or real soon.
Update?
Is the fire out?
Any status on this fire??
No news is good news?
“No ga-news is good ga-news…” From the Great Space Coaster, a kids show from my childhood. I can see it clearly, from a black and white 12volt tv.
Was it Gary Gnu who said that?
Just updated. It was contained.
