It's been looking like a big old fire going on over off of, maybe towards Richburgway,
00:06
Road 56,
00:07
somewhere in there.
00:09
You heard anything about that?
00:14
No, I have not.
00:16
But it is kind of like smoky outside.
00:24
That's correct.
00:26
Yep.
00:27
When we went out at lunch, I can see it in a distance when I come across Cedarhurst.
00:37
So it looked like it was on towards maybe not quite Richburg over off of maybe road 56 or Old vichburg Road.
00:49
We're in there.
00:52
We had Highway 9 there at Cedarhurst and all, had that all smoked up.
00:58
We went on the Rock Hill, well, we ate in Richburg, and then went on the Rock Hill's date a while, and then coming down, 72, I could still see that big old fire,
01:07
and I still see the smoke.
01:15
Yeah, I heard the fire trucks go out earlier in the day, but I had turned that scanner down because of the stuff I was working on.
01:26
But now I hadn't heard anything else.
01:33
Yeah, I'm looking in the sky behind me and I can see, I still see smoke.
01:41
So whatever it was, I mean it may be,
01:44
you know, it might be just a big old clear cut, they burn in the stumps.
01:49
That might be all it is.
01:52
But it, I mean, it's pretty good size, whatever it is.
