We have fire up at Baxter's at the board.
00:07
Started about 3 o'clock, so I'm gonna go back home and try to get back in bed for another hour and a half or so maybe get a little rest so I don't feel so bad when I go under work after a lot.
00:17
But just ready to work today, nothing special.
00:20
I hope. I hope everything stays quiet so I can get a little more sleep.
00:23
What about you?
00:27
I don't really have any plans for the day, Luke.
00:31
So I take it you got the fire contained.
00:39
Any results yet is the cause of the fire in the border.
00:48
Something to do with all that.
00:50
I don't find dust, but it wasn't nothing major.
00:53
It just started out sounding pretty bad.
00:55
Wasn't that bad after we got there, so it wasn't that.
00:57
It wasn't too big a deal.
00:59
Just took some time to get anybody there and gone, but back to your comment about the club.

I've been trying, I enjoy it, what it seems to be.

Some good people there,

It's been enjoyable, a joy phone's not in real well.
01:20
I think you've learned it.
01:22
There is a family within it.
01:25
It's so different than we were on weather meters together.
01:29
Now, was that upon old 221 or was that the actual facility on 221?
01:41
The polar plant that makes the steam for a plant, it's on O limbole? It's all, you know, joined together anyway.
01:51

01:56
terminology,
01:57
where did the ship falls,
02:01
did y'all have to extinguish something within it as well?
02:06
Yeah,
02:08
had some external fire inside the bowl there, but this got out a little bit, but not too big a deal.
02:17
What does y'all utilize to extinguish that water or foam?
02:25
We use water, unless it's a chemical base, you know, some kind of oil or something.
02:29
We don't really use foam all that much, but just that old wood chips, you know, water does just fine on it.
