Copy Mormon Lake Fire on scene?

And just because this spot is on an ad curve, if we have any other units responding from Mormon Lake, can you tell them to come in with us and people are flying around that corner going Code 3 and someone's causing an accident again?

Can I give you any updates?

Appet. Traffic comes through, I'm back at my vehicle. Go ahead.

Day 4, Battalion 5 is requesting for an update. They have civil units in route asking what the best access would be off of Mormon Lake or 17, and I also have a helicopter route.

The last road I passed was the 132 Alpha, and that was probably about three and a half miles from my location to continue south.
