00:49
Ranger 2, go ahead.

We'll definitely need to go through tomorrow.

Yeah,
01:07
that's kind of what I was thinking on resources for the night.
01:10
It's still pretty early, so you all may be getting knocked out for then.
01:14
But I'll let him know on acreage.
01:18
Command and Ranger 3, I've got food en route in the next couple hours, too, so we can get everybody fed before they get out of here.

Go ahead, 2.5.
02:01
You're at the barn, correct?
02:05
That's correct.
02:06
Are you seeing that activity about midway up the ridge?
02:11
Well, I just going to let you know that it's been held up in a lot of logs and a heavy blowdown.
02:18
But right now it's breaking out of it and it's nothing but fine and small stuff.
02:24
So it's making a pretty good run.
02:26
I just want to give y'all heads up.

02:49
Let's give all y'all a heads up down here from the house where we originated.
02:54
They had that large pile of blowdown to the left of that structure.
03:00
It got into it and kind of calmed down, but it's burnt through it right now, and it's coming out the other side, and we're seeing some significant flame activity right there.
03:10
So just a heads up, because it's coming out and going up all at the same time.
03:18
We're blowing out of the logging road up here with ASD's proof.
03:23
And we're going to start to put some fire on the ground burning back towards all that so we can try to cut it off.
03:32
Also, the first dozer is they're working around the barns.
03:38
I think he's going to kind of head y'all's direction when he gets that worked up, and there's another Dozer B en route here just shortly, and they're going to work around the backside of this house where it originated at.
03:51
Well, they have a radio wheel.
03:56
He can probably contact Galen.
03:58
He's over there with the dozer that's on the ground right now.
04:02
I got a phone contact with them, but I don't have a radio to give them.
