Matt 7 Command, notes just updated that yes, that is correct. DOF has control burnout out there, and they are already on scene. Says they are under control, but yes, please make face to face with them before we cancel everybody.
03:41
Cover that, sir. I got eyes on them right now, but we have a pretty good wind speed. I think it was just bad to give me wind speed. Right now, I think that wind is moving, coming from the east, pushing west.
