Smells like a barbecue.
Yep. There are wildfires in the distance.
Are we safe? Yes. We're listening to emergency officials.

Smoke in a can. We spray it near the unit.
Cover your ears again! We're not done yet!

Before we can play ball
we need to clean up all this debris.

Shouldn't we turn lights off when we leave?
Not in this case.
Why do they keep the lights on?

The lights will help firefighters see the buildings.

RAY: It's been fun, but I'm glad to leave before the fire.
