I can do that on my Android. Hold finger on Video link and the share option should pop up.

According to this morning's Daily Herald, it was a bush fire that destroyed the deck by the bar. The firefighters went up the ski lift with water bags and were able to refill them from a small water reservoir at the site. Took 5-6 hours to extinguish.
