there's a richmond gives directly across the interstate from the interstate 580 that goes into richmond and then the other way goes across. so i'm up in the neighborhood area and the smoke is actually going straight up in the air and hanging right towards richmond in that area right now. now, should that flatten out, should we get inside you're going to have a couple of problems here. that is and people do have respiratory problems especially the elderly and young could have some serious consequences from that. in addition to that there's a chance that something else was going to catch on fire or the potential for an explosion. this is basically out of control at this point in time. i think nothing suggests they're getting a handle on it. there are fire trucks coming in other areas. this is a very specialized fire. it's very special equipment to deal with it. in some cases you have to let it burn out. there's a how long supply of volatile all over the place as they are in all refineries. having said that there are another cutting the supplies off, moving the supplies away from that just
