Yeah, Metro from, uh, the photo IC, updated size up. We had approximately a quarter acre of grass fire here in Pierce College at this time. We stopped all forward progress. We established a paranormal control on it. We should be able to handle with the resources on scene. I'll get back to you when I get a total knockdown. Pistoto IC, roger.

@losangelesUser1596784015 To make matters worse this is by the horse facility and Pierce takes in horses and other large animals during wildfires… It’s one of the main large animal evacuation centers in the city so you can bet they have Sandy Fire evacuees!
