And November air attack, we're about coming through the smoke now, but we're about a minute out. Where are we looking? Okay, and just for my, I think I'm over the repeater site now, it's right next to the high-touch of power lines. And for November, air-tacks from after descend a little bit, see if we can't poke in there. We're pretty smoked out right now. We might be able to bring the Helco over. Let me try to get down and I'll get back to you in just a moment. Puzzle fire group, go ahead. Okay, I copy. And is that the group that was working with Five Papa Juliet earlier? He's on a field and return should be here shortly and let me get with Helco. Crane Valley Echo, correct? Okay, I can't get low enough without riding the terrain to get below the smoke. Helco is going to transition in about five minutes here and we will make sure to pass that off the next Helco. Let them know you're looking for some support some possible fire over the line. Okay, I copy. Yeah, try to get some guys in there and realistically I probably can't get an aircraft over to you until for about a 30 or 45 minutes. Thank you, ma.
