503. I have that address again,

00:07

please.

00:17

503 address of caller was near Highway 95.

00:24

Also, I just received a call from Border Patrol if you're advising there are some very large slash piles in Canada.

00:31

This might be what you see.

00:37

Copy that. I will drive down that way and take a look.

00:41

It's obviously not a wildfire.

00:43

It could be a house or it could be those slash piles in Canada.

00:49

I copy, thank you.

00:56

6-8 negative.

00:57

We don't have her in house.

It's way back in there.

01:38

It's got to be across the border.

01:41

It's got a pretty good glow, but it's been glowing for a couple nights now.

01:48

They're going to stand down.

01:51

Is here a Canadian interagency that we can contact and find out at the those slash piles?

02:00

All of it's that far back in there, it's not a danger of anything anyway.

02:04

If it's not a house fire, it's not a danger at all, so I'm not going to worry about it.

02:11

Copy that, are you going to let Sheriff know that you're standing down?

02:20

Copy that, thank you, Bill.
