Go ahead and do...
00:27
Are you thinking,
00:29
since the fire hall has power,
00:32
using that as a warning center if need be?
00:37
Yeah, and the other question is, how do we get the people out of like this dead-end road down here? There's got to be half a dozen residents back here, I think, no block in, right?
00:50
Are you still on Cabbage Road?
00:54
I'm up on Aldrich right now.
01:01
You do not need my assistance there, correct?
01:06
We do not need any more vehicles back here.

We're good, thank you.

Would you be able to contact Barraget Telephone and find out what their preferences on cutting a fire off a Gila is on the road?

Okay, I'll give them a call.
02:17
Thank you. I know you've been.
02:23
See, you got a copy?

There's a tree across the road hanging on some wires.
02:33
The wires are way too low to go anywhere near them.
02:37
I've just talked to Upcoe.
02:39
They said they tried to get somebody out here as soon as possible.
02:44
So I've got to turn around somewhere and head back to Calia Mess.
02:53
Oh, okay, copy that.
02:56
Yeah, your hill will be all cleaned up here anyways, so that part will be good here for your own.
