Go ahead, 122.
01:19
You need me out there for manpower? My pager didn't go off.
01:22
Yeah, nobody's, they didn't tone this one up correctly.
01:26
They didn't do both pagers.
01:27
Do you need me out there for help?
01:29
I think we've got three grass trucks in route, and I'm thinking the tank truck's getting ready to get in route also.
01:35
I think not.
01:36
I think we probably got it covered.
01:37
That's clear.
01:38
I'll hang here in town. Illinois, do you need a three-tone correctly?
01:41
I think we've got enough help in route now.
01:44
Never mind. One or nine.
01:45
How far down through the plant are you already?
01:48
About a quarter of a mile.
01:49
107, 108.
01:50
Go ahead, 107.
01:51
Yeah, we'll have to go through the plan.
01:53
Once we're out of the plan, we'll be on the backside of it in our landfill area.
01:57
It takes about a quarter mile to get back there.
01:59
It's all drive road.
02:01
We're good. That's clear.
02:02
109-108. It's going to be where we were the last time.
02:05
Go through the plant.
02:06
You're going to take the left and then go about a quarter of a mile back up in there.
02:11
Copy that. I'm understanding Wadsworth is also on the other end of this.
02:15
Is that what you think?
02:17
I think they're on the south side of it, from the southeast side of it.
02:20
That's clear.
02:21
1-08 to Wadsworth.
02:23
Do you need any help down there?
02:25
Yeah, it wasn't hard to have another truck, grass drop back there.
02:28
That's clear.
02:29
Maybe we'll need to send you one of our trucks, and we've got, we'll have two more in route.
02:33
Ted Barber, where's put water on it back here now?
02:36
How did you access that where you are?
02:38
It's down,
02:39
coming past the plant, on 2668, and right with that gravel road turns to go back to Highway 60, there's a gate right there on the right that's open, come in and it come back here about a mile, you'll see the smoke.
02:54
That's clear.
02:55
108, 109, I'm going to go down here where Wadsworth is.
03:00
109 received. 13. 108 to 109.
03:02
Go ahead. Hey,
03:03
I've got 113 here with me about halfway down the road.
03:05
Do you need them in there? Should we send them south? I can't see where the fire is from where I am.
03:09
From where I am, it looks like the closest access is from 2668.
03:15
You tell about where Wadsworth is?
03:17
Ten, four. Okay, so one-ten around.
03:18
Okay,
03:19
101. I'm going to turn 113 around.
