hoping to obviously, get a handle on this fire. crews are out there. you re seeing the drops. the choppers, one for medevac and one for serious burn victims. oftentimes if this were a land wildfire or an area of forest you would see retardant drops. you can see the red streaks. that s retardant that s been dropped. obviously hard to do on a highway near people. this is obviously a very volatile situation right now. the risk of this spreading further, is there any sense how long this would take to get under control? great question. i couldn t answer that. and i think that we re just going to have to wait and see. stay with us. joining us now is melanie from the u.s. forest service. i can ask that same question to you right now. the risk that this thing spreads and gets much worse than we re seeing right now, what is the risk of that right now? well the fire jumped
