Hey, do you have good comms between you and the VFDs?
00:05
Do you want me to do a verbal? Not trusting radio.
00:11
Do you want me to get some event channels? Do you want to switch to a county channel?
00:16
What do you want?
00:19
Right now I got Republic working on structure protection and we told them to stay in the yard.
00:25
We got bombers coming in.
00:27
I got Crystal Falls here now.
00:29
I'm going to move them up this little dirt road.
00:33
I assume the air boss.
00:34
These are going to reload and come back.
00:37
Yeah, you can keep them as long as you need them.
00:40
I'm just looking to make sure your communication is good between the fire department and you, and the DNR.
00:52
We're all here frequently.
00:55
Go ahead.
01:00
The fire bosses are going to load and return.
01:02
I just asked them their fuel situation.
01:04
They have enough for a little over an hour.
01:06
So we got quite a few more drops we can make with them.
01:09
Any thoughts of yours down there?
01:12
Yeah, we're going to try to hold this road on the right, but they can keep dropping past the camp, come right over it.
01:18
I got Crystal Falls unit now.
01:20
Going to start from the little two track forward, and we're coming in from the camper.
01:27
Okay, copy that.
01:28
So you're going to try to hold that road and then continue the drops where they have been on the right flank, the right shoulder of the fire.
01:36
Yeah, that is clear right now.
01:37
I'm talking to Crystal Falls now.
01:39
They know they're coming in on this side.
01:45
Okay, I copy all.
01:46
I will pass it off to 428-421 to advise them of your location for their next drop, and we're going to continue to hit that right point.
