the fire to allow us to get these flames knocked down. once those flames are knocked down, the chief will allow the firefighters to go into the buildings to put out hotspots, and to, again, make sure there's nobody injured or in need of assistance. >> reporter: and it's unclear how many units are actually affected. i can tell you they're pouring so much water out here that it's actually cooling at
