NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: Firefighters say only three hot spots remain from that massive wildfire at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State. The flames burned 190,000 acres and destroyed 70 buildings, but authorities say, so far, there's no sign of any air contamination or any damage to nuclear material. CNN's Rusty Dornin is there to bring us up to date -- Rusty.</s>RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Natalie, it's the words every firefighter loves to hear: The fire is out. There are no flames visible and no smoke -- very small amounts of smokes in smoldering areas. Firefighters are even taking down to getting down on their hands and knees and checking certain areas. Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson did complete a tour of the site this morning, and when he came back he had some good news to report.</s>BILL RICHARDSON, ENERGY SECRETARY: I'm delighted to report that the fire is now contained. There are no major fires at this time. Regrettably, it burned down 190,000 acres. Other than a relatively small storage shed and equipment trailer and a small guard structure, we've had no damage to any Hanford facility.</s>DORNIN: He also says there has been no radioactive contamination detected in soil or air. He did say, however, the federal government is not the only agency that's testing for this and says the state and local officials are monitoring, doing independent tests. They have also not turned up any indications so far of contamination. Now, meantime, thousands of evacuees have returned home -- to their homes, although 20 homes burned to the ground in this massive fire. It incinerated just about everything in its path. Now, later on, apparently firefighters say that it's 55 percent contained, although they say there are no flames, that, pretty much, they've got a handle on this -- Natalie.</s>ALLEN: All right, Rusty Dornin, thank you.
