a fire line established. and how to make sure it doesn't spread. looks like maybe all day today and in tomorrow. if we come back out here live i want to show you a little about what's happening here. it's been burning a long time. that smoke is being smelled across the bay area. but you talk about this property. very interesting property. this is off sota canyon road. you can't be up here without really being fascinated about what's happening up here. this is an old resort built in the 1850s. saw hey day in 1870s to 1930s. playground for the rich and famous when the hot springs were a hot item. there's a lot of these stone ruins and these actually helped stopped the fire. and then just couldn't
