So this was going on, I don't know how long before I tried to make an attempt to get out, but I smelled fire and we didn't know where it was coming from. So there was a fire engine on the golf course, there was a fire engine down at Warner and Oval and everybody that lived there couldn't get in or out for probably two and a half to three hours. MR. AFRAN: And how long were you delayed in leaving at that length? THE WITNESS: A little over two hours. MR. AFRAN: Is there any doubt in your mind that this video reflects accurately the scene on that occasion? THE WITNESS: Absolutely. MR. AFRAN: Absolutely no doubt or absolutely -- THE WITNESS: No, that is what happened. I videoed it. MR. AFRAN: Thank you very much. We have no further questions. CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Thank you. MR. AFRAN: I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the boards attention today and the staff.
