“Some embers lit up some scrub along the fence line, but that’s been extinguished. They’re now out,” Fitzgerald said.
Though the fire was shot down fairly quickly after crews arrived to heavy plumes of black smoke at the scene early Tuesday afternoon, firefighters were working to fully extinguish the fire for several hours.
“We are bringing in a high hoe to help move rubble to gain better access to the bottom of the rubble,” Fitzgerald said mid-afternoon.
