    extra charge you have home you know

    chimney we're having to walk as people

    this direction and the fire was coming
  • 00:01:28
    down the hill and starting to impinge
  • 00:01:29
    across acoss the road here and I think

    realized they weren't they were in their
  • 00:01:34
    vehicles as the fire was getting closer
  • 00:01:36
