and obviously, we would provide what we can. but right now our concern is here. chief, i don t know if this would be best addressed to the fire chief or the supervisor. if both of you can step forward for a minute. do you have any kind of a clue or timetable on what we might expect for resources from california or from washington, perhaps fema. have you been apprised of any kind of a timeline? the question that is posed is there a timeline and what is expected to be received by way of resources from neighboring jurisdictions as well as further jurisdictions, correct? basically, jesse. yes, sir. would you like to comment on that? so to answer your question, sir, yes, sir. would you like to comment on that? so to answer your question, si would you like to comment that? so to answer your question, sir, our chief reached out immediately. from fresno, l.a. county, l.a. city and orange county are all sending us task force engines. we already have people here on
it s not crunching it s not pulling apart until we ve just now seen that it is. but just the activity that is taking place here is really something. the initial earthquake that we thought was the major quake lasted for five seconds. but the people in los angeles will tell you it was 30 seconds. we felt everything shaking and rumbling for 30 seconds. well, that s because as this emanates out, it was emanating out from the epicenter, even to vegas and down here and towards las vegas, a little further to the north, it is bumping into rock material. so it keeps vibrating. it s not going to stop immediately. it will taper off. and that s why it felt like it was shaking for so long across this region. but this last earthquake, the big one, the 7.1, it vibrated. there was rumbling for 20 to 25
