Slow-moving woods fire, the part that's extended past the bamboo.

How much line do you have on your pump?

Okay, pass, we ought to be better if we came in on the woodcrest to come in that way.

It's hard to tell, I'll be honest where I'm at here at the head.
01:26
I don't see any roadway close by.
01:31
Okay, I've got about 300 feet of Forest Coast.
01:36
I'm clear.
01:38
Go ahead and let's attempt to go ahead and send me the two firefighters with the rakes and we'll start raking and let me look at IAR for the map and see if this is going to be the best way to get in because if we're not careful this thing, we'll get out of control.

We've also got a house over here.

It's not at exposure at this time.

But the fire is advancing to the wood thrust lane.

We may be able to arc some water on this.
