           16    were identified by CalFire located in Placer County.

           18    last week, and that's about 50,000 -- excuse me, 50 

           19    percent of the total billings.  We've received 

           20    revenue in the amount of 15.4 million related to 

           21    this period and have received about 4100 appeals so 

           22    far related to the same period.  We should complete
