Kathy Ball is spending this weekend in the shadow of the "Day Fire," which is burning in Los Padres National Forest in California. The fire has been burning for 26 days and is one of the biggest and longest-burning brush fires in California history. Kathy is a professional fire spotter, and about six months out of the year she lives at Buck Rock, a fire lookout perched atop a mountain in the Sequoia National Forest. Barbara talks with Kathy about what it takes to keep your eyes on the fire.
