Guys, confirm to my ears is this ridgecrest . It appears to be a house fire. Mayor breeden, this may be one of the five fires you were describing. It is absolutely raging. You see fire on the scene. Can you just give us an update . You say you believe there have been five fires. Youre not entirely sure if theyre under control. I do not know that officially. As i look around me i can see smoke but i cannot see i cannot see other than one, and thats still black smoke. Theres others that im sure that i only know of the report. And you mention as we stay on these images, you mention checking in with an assisted living facility. Did they have power . Is power totally out where you are . In some places its out and others it isnt. Okay. Okay, ridgecrest, california mayor Peggy Breeden you have many more people to talk to on the phone. Thank you so much for jumping on with me and my best to you. Dorothia smith is with me on the phone. And she felt the earthquake in trona, california, 20 miles
also if you are seeing this and feeling this and it s scaring you but there s no emergency people are saying and the police department saying please don t call 911. there are actual emergencies happening, people potentially injured in this and they want to make sure those lines are open for those in stress, but certainly go check on your neighbors, go check on people. if you re okay there may be someone next door that isn t okay, so that s very important. the mayor mentioning that as well. i can tell you we re getting obviously social media is blowing up with a lot of different things. people feeling this from las vegas to los angeles. that was such an excellent note from the mayor of ridgecrest. if you re okay, that s wonderful. go next door and check on your neighbor and make sure they re okay as well. he covers the trona area, we ve talked to a number of people from trona.
