Started as a structure fire (don't have the exact house address... I don't if/how much a spread there has been ...)

Roadblocks at Ranch Elsie/72 and Twin Spruce Gap Road/72.

@ICFRPIO 1m MRT Fire at north end of county

Staging at Coal Creek Elementary. Started as a house fire.

Are you going to maintain this thread? I already started one... do you want me to continue on here?

Listening to the door-to-door reports, there are several people not home, and they can hear dogs inside. They are discussing bringing animal control in and forcing windows or doors to rescue them.

One lady refuses to leave her home because she just had facial surgery and doesn't want anyone to see her. OMG. Sorry, that's ridiculous! I'm mentioning this, not to encourage an off-topic discussion here (feel free to start another thread in the Campfire and continue to discussion), but because I want to emphasize that while you have the right to refuse to leave, it's absurd that you don't and I'm sure those first responders have nightmares about you burning to death in your stupidity. Listen and LEAVE!

Sorry Walt, I didn't see your other thread, I'll merge them.

One report from field... fire is 75% contained (but listening... it doesn't sound like it's over until it's over... they are still awful busy).

They are going to loose backside of the structure... into wild land.

#LillisLaneFire reaching 75% containment according to fire chief onscene #cofire

They believe there is no escape for the fire... 75% contained.

The house is a total loss. Saying that should be contained to that structure though.
