South of the Chinook.

so south, where the KD, PD, Pahoe that's back there, that way?
01:10
Yes, and we need you to snug up as much as you can because there's a potential for a Coast Guard dolphin to come in as well and end up on that end as well. Because we're going to try to put life-flight on the northern end of the Chinook.

No.

All right, south of it is.

Can we get somebody to where that yellow fire truck is with the Astros tent and then there's a black tent to the south of them? Whenever we need somebody to hold onto those tents while we come in there and so we don't blow those out.
