Does it look like it's pushing up towards the top up there? Is it just coming right straight across the ridge line?
01:20
Ah, it's going,
01:23
pretty much kind of at an angle towards the direction of the wind's blowing and up.
01:43

The problem with Broding is it's going to be up on top of the cliff.
02:26
All the way up on top of the cliff.
02:28
This hasn't gone up on top yet, I don't think.
02:31
Copy, can we catch it before it does, or do I need to send resources up top?
02:36
I don't know.
02:38
7123. Does it look like it's going to go up on top of those cliffs?
02:46
From my vantage point, it's very smoky, it is very possible to go from those cliffs.
02:51
I'm about to be able to make an anchor into the black.
02:58
As long as we can get a stop, it looks like it's heading right across the ridge line.
03:02
I'm going to try and catch it where I was going the first time.
03:06
I can't get up this hell with this truck's too heavy.

Go ahead.
03:43
I'm going to send first incoming brush unit you're with.
03:51
Received, I'm up on top.
03:53
It looks like if we can stop it at this ridge line right at the bottom where it looks like it's running, we might be able to cover hurt onto it, I can get down in the canyon.
04:03
I'm going to kind of watch and see what it does here for a second.
04:10
Copy, let me know within the next 15 minutes, then we'll, as adult, agency plan.
04:16

04:34
Yeah, I'm gonna let it kind of come down into this canyon.
04:37
Once it gets down into where I'm at,
04:40
it's gonna run out of fuel.
04:41
We got sea banks down in here,
04:44
and I think we can put a good-sized herb on as long as I don't get stuck down in here.
04:49
