"We want to maintain our response capabilities here in the city, but if we can afford more resources, that's something we'll provide," Mire said.

"It's a true blue-collar job in every sense of the meaning," Mire said.

"I'm hearing from the teams and our section chief up there, it's pretty bad," Millsaps said.
Millsaps said the fire was fast-moving because of the dry conditions and flat land.
"You're going to see some impacts to agriculture business, farming, livestock, cattle, because of these massive fires," he said.
