\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWE ARE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS BREAKING NEWS IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY. THIS FIRE PUTTING UP A LOT OF THICK SMOKE. WE NOW KNOW IT\u2019S NEAR AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD AND AN AUTO REPAIR SO LET\u2019S GO TO KCRA 3\u2019S ANAHITA JAFARY WHO WAS ABLE TO GET THERE TO THE SCENE. TRYING TO WORK TO PUT THIS THING OUT ON TO. YEAH, THERE\u2019S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT HERE AND THIS IS FITZGERALD AND RECYCLE. THE ROAD IS CLOSED OFF AND YOU CAN JUST SEE THIS MASSIVE PLUME OF SMOKE IN THE AIR BEHIND ME. WE\u2019VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE OUT HERE, EVERYONE JUST WATCHING AS IT GROWS LARGER AND LARGER. YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK SMOKE RISING ABOVE THE TREES AT CERTAIN POINTS, EVEN COVERING THE SUN. AND IT LOOKS ALMOST APOCALYPTIC, IS WHAT I\u2019M HEARING FROM SOME OF THE PEOPLE OUT HERE. YOU MENTIONED THAT IT IS A CAR YARD. THERE\u2019S A LOT OF DIFFERENT BUILDINGS WITH CARS IN THEIR LOTS RIGHT HERE. WE ALSO SEE FIREFIGHTERS HARD AT WORK TRYING TO PUT THIS FIRE OUT, OR AT LEAST CONTAIN IT. DOING AS BIG OF AN EFFORT AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WATER SPRAYING OUT ON WHERE IT SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED OVER THERE. AS I SAID, THIS ROAD IS CLOSED OFF. THERE ARE JUST SO MANY PEOPLE HERE WATCHING, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL STARTED IT. I ACTUALLY JUST TALKED TO A COUPLE PEOPLE AND I WANTED TO GO OVER TO THEM. DO YOU GUYS MIND IF I JUST ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION? YOU SAID YOU WERE IN THE AREA. TELL US WHAT YOU SAW. YEAH, WE WERE AT COSTCO AND WE WALKED OUT AND WE TURNED AROUND AND JUST SAW BIG CLOUDS OF SMOKE, AND WE WERE LIKE, OH MY GOD. BECAUSE IT WASN\u2019T THERE WHEN WE WENT IN. I CAN\u2019T EVEN IMAGINE. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST REACTION WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON. LIKE, LIKE SHE SAID, WE JUST TURNED AROUND AND IT WAS LIKE INSANE. AND IT JUST KEPT GETTING BIGGER. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU GUYS FOR TALKING TO ME. YOU CAN HEAR THE SAME THING FROM EVERYONE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. NOW WE KNOW. AND THE PLUME OF SMOKE JUST GROWING BIGGER AND BIGGER AS THESE FIREFIGHTERS REALLY WORK TO TAKE CONTROL OF IT. WE CAN HEAR OVERHEAD, THERE\u2019S SOME TYPE OF AIR ATTACK UP HERE TRYING TO ALSO HELP CONTAIN THE FIRE, AND WE\u2019LL STAY OUT HERE AND KEEP THIS ON YOUR RADAR. AS FAR AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW, WE HAVEN\u2019T SEEN ANY AMBULANCES IN THE AREA. WE HAVEN\u2019T BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO OFFICIALS RIGHT NOW. SO WE\u2019LL WORK TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. SENDING IT BACK TO YOU GUYS IN THE STUDIO. ANAHITA. THANKS. AND YOU LOOK AT THE COLOR OF THE SMOKE AND WHAT\u2019S ON FIRE OUT THERE. AND YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THERE\u2019S A LOT\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
