When we do get some other water back here, our priorities should probably be the rescue. They're about a half of a small tank.

Hey Bobba, it looks like the wind shifts in a little bit. Do we have any change in conditions down over the edge there? I can't see or is everything's pretty stable still? Wind's definitely picking up. It's made its way into a lot smaller, shorter grass, so it's still moving pretty slow, but definitely we should keep my heads up on the wind change. The tree parts behind my engine is very well involved from the inside, so that's going to be our main issue that I'm seeing right now. Okay, copy that. Are you able to wet it down at all with a booster or something just so we don't get that grass lighting off and spreading south? We're wetting everything now all around it. Copy that. And one more thing. Can you see down on the freeway? Do we have an issue with smoke crossing the freeway? Any concerns? I can't see well from my advantage here. Issions are still good visibility, but that could be a problem in a little bit. But right now, everything's going fine. Traffic's moving good. Copy. Thank you. Q-31 has Watertender 31 in route. Grab me that. Okay, copy that. Okay, I'm going to give you North Flank of this fire, okay? Richon 19 apparatus. We're just trying to make do with the water. What's your status of water control?
