He doesn't think that the fire department's going to be able to get back to it and was insistent that it was an issue, but it's on a wildlife reserve that's not his land. And that's 2403.30 as. If you have any questions, give us a call. I'll fill you in with what I can. 6.02, good. Adam 2 is en route. It's about six minutes now. 104. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm just my friend set right now.
