Just this side of M-road. So take it right there.
00:08
Well, I'm looking at the fire.
00:10
Yeah, I know where a sea plate is that we need to take.
00:14
I'm not certain either, but there's quite the smoke signals going up. I think I'm more worried about that, Dad. Come back onto the gravel road and go hit that light-flashy fuel. and you can knock this in a hurry.
00:31
So get over on the left side on this flank and run it around there because that fire's pushing that motorhome or trailer or whatever down there.
00:43
Okay, yeah, it sounded like on the radio they had it jumping the main canal, and anyway, we'll figure it out. Just let me know when you get there. I've got, I'm going to take it slow so the grass truck stayed with me.

Okay, and then that bigger smoke off to the southwest,
01:29

146 is making good progress on the west side.
04:35
I don't know if we can get them down and run it on the east side of this road so it doesn't loop back around and start continuing north, you know what I mean?
04:49
Matt, Cush, 516, wrapping out soon, switching to East County Tech Street.

The 146, you needed another truck down there to help you,
05:10
or are you going to get that flank with your water?
05:15
Mack, Petitian, one's on scene.
05:19
Andrew Mung, go ahead.
05:22
The kind of one, so change with you.
05:24
I'm afraid of J-290 status.
05:27
Hey, Shraid, we went up all the way to the next exit.
05:32
Should we just get back off on Broadway?
05:35
Meet you there, or do you want us to go down and come up to the off-room?
05:40
J-290. I'm still in the area.
05:42
I'm going to have the Seats Lake Road closed from the north side.
05:49
Yeah, I got this out here. I got one of those plot over there. I'm going to go back and get.
05:55
J290, 1801.

I'm going to try to find a way for these two six-bys to get on the east side of this road and try to help stop it going around the top of that ridge and dropping down there on that rock face.
07:13
Receive, Royals is going to be there in about a minute. They're coming down the road now with one six -by,
07:20
and I'm actually going down to where we talked about. I'm trying to find this spot here. I think it might be the best spot for John the draft out of.
07:31

07:38
Crazy.
