i was in class at fmcc (about 10 minutes away from the fire) and a girl in my class got taken out of class because her house had caught fire due to the embers. the fire was so bad that the public safety office made an annoucement over the intercom that all emt's and vollenteer fire fighters for which their departments got called out are to report to the scene.

I was at school at the time, and he had vents in the room I was in and we had to leave. The smoke was coming into the room, people were weezing and coughing.
