There is no active fire at the scene at this time; Bear City was mainly concerned there were embers coming off the structure and going into the Forest. Should probably have someone monitor the situation for awhile. {Bat 12 response: They're currently staffing up, we'll get someone over there. This is right on the Forest boundary, correct?} That's affirm, Betty. We should probably do a pretty thorough...(transmission broke off)
