lines to look for hot spots an work on containing that fire today. take a look at this video we shot just about a half an hour ago. it is of the place where there's the most damage, a home that, quite frankly, is destroyed by the flames. you can see how fast that fire moved because there's really nothing left but the foundation and the chimney, still a few hot spots up there, even this morning. the cars seem to be almost membered in that garage. some areas immediately around the home were really untouched by the flames whatsoever. firefighters have to make some really difficult decisions in this fire about what homes to save and what homes that they can't do anything for. that's because they have limited resources. they rely heavily on a volunteer force to fight this fire. >> we have a very large component of volunteer informs here in the county -- force here in the county. >> reporter: and those volunteers are still -- were still here this morning looking for hot spots. an interesting note, we're coming up on the 30th anniversary of the@lass speak -- of the atlass peek fire. if that same fire would have swept through here today, it would have burned more than 300 homes. it's
