That is our top story this morning as hotter temperatures are just around the corner. Welcome back. I'm Jordan Tolbert and Concetta. The increased heat means increased fire danger. Oh, it certainly does. I'm Concetta Callahan. Keep in mind this week, we've seen our busiest fire activity so far, we began last Saturday battling the dunes and rocky fires in Butte County. Soon after the Excelsior fire in Sacramento County put communities near Mather Airport in danger. The post fire in southern California and the Point fire in Sonoma County both erupted around this time as the work week began, the sites fire burned several 1000 acres in Colusa County. Meanwhile, the town of Copper was put in danger by the arrow fire which forced evacuations and caused outages. And as we end this week, there's progress on our states that our seats firefighters have made on some of these fires. So take a look at this. These are the three fires that are currently the biggest ones burning across California. The post fire in southern California burning over 15,000 acres with 52% containment. The sites fire in Colusa County only 20% contained with over 19,000 acres burned so far. Meanwhile, east of stock in the arrow fire now more than halfway contained with a little over 5000 acres burned. And evacuation orders are now in effect near Brownsville and Yuba County and this is all because of the double fire. So evacuation zones include wildcat trail and Double Eagle Way. An evacuation point is located at Sycamore Ranch off of highway 20 cal fire saying they're battling some difficult terrain and that fire so far has burned 13 acres with 50% containment. Conta All right, Jordan, most people are back home this morning in copper poos as containment grows on the arrow fire. First responders are starting to leave but not without appreciation for the community. And when hundreds of firefighters and police officers needed somewhere to eat, the community came together to make it happen. Take a listen. We had um part of our community bringing their RV up so we could wash our dishes and their RV. We had another gentleman bring his generator. So we had an eight. See, for the cooks back there that are sweating and cooking. So it wasn't just one person. It was a very big joint effort and they actually went to the front lines with the firefighters and they each have pastries, hot dogs, ice cream, um coffee. Thanks you guys for everything. All right, I got you guys. So get out of here. I got you. I got it. No. Are you serious. Like my house didn't burn down. You guys gave me a hell of a show. I got it. So we're forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving our town and everything in it. Oh, my goodness. How incredible is she? She's got a huge heart and she is so appreciative and this is a good reminder. Like I told you the last half hour, you know, when we see a first responder, like a paramedic, a firefighter, a police officer and we see them out, we should offer to pick up their meal for them. I mean, they do so much, they do so much. And, you know, luckily we have few interactions with them through the course of our lives. But, you know, odds are at some point you will need their help. So pay it forward because they're there for you when you need help you or someone in your family. Yes.
