They're calling for all kinds of backup out here in Blossom–Sun Valley area.
00:05
There's a wood shop burning up burnt to the ground out here right next to the Sun Valley Liquor Store. They saved the store.
00:16
They gotta save that store, that's where half their tax money comes from.
00:20
I bet you back in the 80s and 90s, that was more than half their tax money.
00:30
It was pretty well contained, though, inside that metal building.
00:34
That's why it's kind of funny.
00:36
They definitely save the store.
00:37
That's not a rule one.
00:41
Anyway, we were heading in church.
00:43
We're picking up the donuts for the church. We do that every Sunday when we can.
00:48
Yeah.
00:52
And we heard the call-out, I said,
00:55
now I heard one of our deacons, he's on one of the fire departments, he had to get the truck.
01:00
He got to take a look.
01:04
Of course, we'd have donuts by then, so we got it to deliver it up.
01:07
I said,
01:08
look, and I went, oh my gosh,
01:11
we stopped for just about two minutes, I said, no.
01:17
I can run a fire hydrant. That's my problem.
01:19
So a tanker.
01:23
They had it handed to them, I'll put it that way.
01:27
They all finally cleared just as we were leaving church.
01:30
They were out there for a good four hours, three and a half, four hours somewhere there.
01:41
Roger, Roger. Well, I hope no one got hurt.
01:44
A building burning downside enough, but it will get hurt and it's even worse.
01:49
Yeah, Roger, Roger on that.
01:51
Um,
01:52
just a second.
01:53
Um, he's asking when did that happen? Fire.
01:57
It's Sunday when you were going to church?
02:02
Yeah, Sunday morning is the first thing.
02:07
And I guess everyone was still at home because they all got the page.
02:13
And I'll say about almost two-thirds of the fire department for the next county got called out to Valour. That was a bunch of them got talked out.
02:22
They needed water, bad.
02:25
You know, being a wood shop like that, it's all inside,
02:28
pretty for sure they stayed outside as long as they could.
02:31
It wasn't worth going in.
02:33
I absolutely had to.
02:34
But, you know, that's a second wood shop out here that has burnt to the ground.
