Bullion 2 isn’t.

Just a note for everyone listening to his incident. The MMU feed is picking up the AA from the fire in Monterey. So will need to listen to be sure you have the right information for the right fire.

35 acres, 5% containment, 1 structure lost, structure threat mitigated.

Structure was an out garage, NOT a residence

That would be referred to as an “outbuilding”!

Yes, an outbuilding. I quoted it as it came over the radio. The quote was for the purpose of further describing. An outbuilding could have been a shop, and old outhouse, a pole barn, etc.
