89 when fire threatened to cross again with homes in the balance. >> on couple pull forward. >> firefighters held the line, a victory on this day that push them to a brink. >> u already dead. the problem, it was very close to the road and very dry. if it had caught fire, it could have fallen across the road. >> i tell you, video enveloping that tree. it almost exploded. it is incredible to watch. what is the difference to firefighters if a tree is on the ground or standing? it is going to burn either way. >> that's tree you saw exploree is a good example of why they are knocking so many trees down.

the theory is stuff is going to brno matter what. but, if it is on the ground and burning, the flames do not go as high. if the trees are up, the fire burns from canopy to canopy and spreads faster. >> wayne, stay safe. >> you can get the latest fires with the abc 7 news wildfire tracker. you can also access it with a qr code on the bottom left of your screen. grab your cell phone, open your camera, hold it to the screen to scan the code and pulled up -- pull up the wildfire tracker. that will help you track air quality as well. >> joining us is calfire spokesperson jonathan pierce. what is the current situation with the caldor fire? that report we saw looked encouraging. >> i would say it is encouraging. as noted earlier, the size of

fire. was that effective? >> that -- there was confusion with that. when that report came out, they were taking into account how fast and severe the fire was moving. at that pace, that was going to be the plan. weather changed and the fire is not moving as fast, so as of now they are not going to -- that. >> watching the video we have seen the past few days, whatever you are getting paid is not enough. >> they do great work. >> we appreciate your time. thank you. >> let's turn to spencer christian for conditions at caldor fire. hopefully they remain favorable. spencer: for now. the current conditions, , ,

we need a workforce to do that. right now we have more workforce. firefighters are generally hired for the fire season. there is talk to have year-round resources. we might be able to do aerial ignition. >> the science tells us we need more of the low intensity fire that california landscapes evolved with. having 1000 fires across the state, only a day or two, producing much smaller amounts of smoke. >> off-season controlled burns could mean learning to live with a certain level of smoke in the air year-round. the density of trees and fuel on the ground need to be addressed. >> my calculation says we need to do 10 times more acreage per year in mitigation than we are doing now. we are not making a difference. we may have a training center headed to california someday.
