Middle Fork Fire, Division 5, Fall Creek.
00:08
Middle Fork Fire, go ahead.
00:13
Hey, how you got me on comms?
00:19
It's very hard to keep it readable.
00:24
Okay, quick update.
00:27
If you're near your map,
00:29
the fire sits just above the 245 spur in that creek drainage in section 25, right on that hairpin corner.
00:39
Great.
00:44
It's in the burn scar in its current location.
00:49
Heavy dead and down components of the fuels.
00:52
A lot of snags in here,
00:54
both in the fire area and everywhere going north down 1835.
01:00
Break.
01:07
Fire activity
01:09
continues to be low to moderate.
01:11
It is getting some wind and sun on that southern flank, but that's where we're going to be working the aircraft.
01:17
Keep it in check.
01:18
Break.
01:24
It'll take quite a bit of work to get this road viable to bring traffic in, and then start to actually engage the incident.
01:32
But we'll get some folks in as we can.
01:41
Yeah, I copy.
01:42
Sounds good, (name withheld).
01:49
Eugene, division five, do you copy? Update.
01:55
Hey, Division Five, Eugene, got you a broken chassis.
02:03
Hey, were you able to copy that update with Middle Fork Fire?
02:13
Hey, I'm pretty sure I got most of all of it written down here in the log.
02:18
So copy section 25 off the 245 spur down in the drainage.
02:25
Burn scar, heavy down components with a lot of snags.
02:33
Yep, that's the gist of it.
02:35
Thanks.
02:39
Division Five, Middle Fork
02:49
Fire.
02:53
Hey, go ahead, (name withheld).
02:59
And additionally, would you like the Hambo Sam Prairie to be pre-positioned a little closer to you?
