Here is the url that was included in the CAP message:

https://nixle.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/pub_media/audio/13466-2020-10-01-10-57-38.mp3

The audio file says "Extreme Fire Danger. Stay Alert. Leave area if
you feel unsafe. Follow 1st Responders direction.

There are about 580 ms of silence at the end of each phrase.

That exact language does not appear in any of the text fields in the
message.  It is close to:
<parameter>
<valueName>CMAMtext</valueName>
<value>Fire Danger. Stay Alert. Leave area if you feel unsafe. Follow
1st Responders direction.</value>
</parameter>

CMAMText is not used by EAS.
