there s a c-130 dropping water. what else are we seeing there? are things getting better, or people evacuating? just how bad is it on the ground? reporter: well, what we re near is just on the outside of a small ranch on the southern edge of possum kingdom lake. and as we were talking earlier, one of the c-130 air crafts had just dumped the fire suppression on the field of this ranch. they came by another four times after we had finish the talking to you, and continue to do this. so they re not out of the woods yet in this particular location. a couple things they re trying to do is, the fire is very close to a roadway, and just across the road, a lot of heavy brush that is just essentially great gasoline for this kind of fire. so they re trying to keep the fire from jumping the road, and also protect two homes that are inside this ranch property. and after we spoke with you, there s probably another five or six volunteer firefighter crews that descended here on this particular scene
