From the valley fire has been weve been talking about. While many are tired and weary, this community has come together to help out their neighbors. As we go to video now, an estimated 1,000 people are here at fairgrounds. Many camped out in tents. Others are slipping in motor homes. And others are use their car as shelter. They are simply awaiting word. One is their home Still Standing . And two, when will they be allowed to return to their neighborhoods . Two questions we hope to have answer for later this morning. As we heard from alex savidge, it will be at least until tomorrow at the earliest before that can happen. Of course we will keep you abreast if that changes. In the meantime people here are doing the best they can with what they have have. The whole street has been wiped out. I havent seen for sure so that is what what i heard.

There is another pile over to my left. They consist of basic needs. Things like water and food and toiletries. There is also to my left over here there is a lot of animal food for various animals. There is also a couple of cages if need to be. So there is a lot of goods here that are being used. They also brought in showers as well. Certainly very tough on them trying to escape from the valley fire this weekend. Pam, back to you. We heard which is something you might not think about, some people are bringing in toys and activities for the kids that had to evacuate. I know its early and you just got out there. Any sense of what they still need for those people that will be there for a awhile . You are right. We saw that yesterday in tommy carrs story. There was a couple families that had broughten toys. People are thinking bring in those toys or maybe Childrens Book so that their kids are able to get by. In terms of what the needs are, its still unclear what that is. Im hearing the red cross is asking for cash donations at this point. They are very grateful for the donations but they are really hoping for cash donations at this point. Just so it filters into what the red cross who are helping the evacuees out here. The money is going toward the if you can donate to the cross. Pam, back to you. Thank you, brian. Time is 4 33.
