00:10 I'm in between Cala Mesa and Live Oak, there's a trailer park.
00:16 Everything's on fire in here.
00:20 The fire's moving really, really fast.
00:24 They have potential 1,000 acres.
00:25 It's probably gonna meet to the freeway and burn itself out.
00:28 But in the meantime, it's basically burning down this entire trailer park.
00:31 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:41 Firefighters are doing everything they can to try and
00:48 save as many homes as they can.
00:50 Unfortunately, with this much wind and this much fire, I mean,
00:54 the embers have spread.
00:55 It's almost impossible to try and save these homes right now.
00:58 [BLANK_AUDIO]
01:01 I'm gonna come around the other side.
01:04 The whole backside, so like I said, I'm at a trailer park at the end of Cala Mesa.
01:08 If you're going east on 10th and you get off Cala Mesa Boulevard, you go right,
01:13 and there's a trailer park over there past kind of like where some of
01:17 the shopping center is.

01:47 All right, everybody, I'm gonna be here for a while.
01:50 So I'm gonna shoot these structures.
01:53 I'm gonna go and try and see what the wildland part of it's doing.
01:57 Please share this post.
01:59 I know a lot of people probably live in this trailer park that's right here.
02:03 There's a lot of homes that are burned down.
02:06 The elementary school was said to have people trapped inside, and
02:11 I haven't confirmed if that was on fire or not yet, but
02:14 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:18 I do gotta go.
02:19 I gotta keep myself, make sure I'm paying attention.

02:29 >> Fairfax, Sandalwood IC.
02:30 [BLANK_AUDIO]

02:38 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:45 All right, everybody, I'm really sorry I have to end this.
