34, go ahead. In the parking lot of the Horseshoe Bend High School, 6-4-37-292. Voice Dispatch[3], Battalion 4[4], East Mountain. Battalion 4 voice dispatch. Okay, I'll give you a quick rundown of what we're seeing. From what we believe, there is one fire that's probably 15 acres, sitting high above Camarack Resort, probably partially on (name withheld), probably partially on Forest Service. There's an additional one to the south, hard to test. from the smoke, maybe another 10 to 12 acres on that one. And then on the back side of the mountain on the Payette side, probably one that's quite a bit larger. High above Tamaract could be (name withheld) and 4-H[2] or and FF[1]. One to the south, 10 to 12 acres and one on the back side on the payette quite a bit larger. So that's 10 to 12 acres is that on Boise? Well, it looks like it. It's right up on the ridge, so part of it is spilled over on at least our side. But yeah, we're still got folks trying to make their way in to try to get some sort of lat longs or guesimated lat longs on these. It's just pretty dark out, hard to tell where, what's what up there. Copy that, sir. We'll just wait until we get some latin longs and we'll figure it out.
