I'm at 690 and that's colors, red vents where all the cars and stuff right here where the top of this hill meets.
03:13
Okay, I think I'm just parallel to you.
03:14
I'm over in the back of 512 where this kind of like dips off, kind of like a big old hill.
03:19
And the 512 looks like it's going to be covered pretty good.
03:22
They got like a big old dirt wall, so I think that may help stop the fire from coming up here.
