As far as lowering your smoke to the ground, it's not keeping it elevated.

04:48
File 146, can you swap over to troop channel real quick?
04:55
And just something...
05:03
I'm fixing to try to...
05:05
I don't know, am I trying to drop the plow, David, and try to cut a trench to get some of this pressure off his corner down there.
05:13
I understand.
05:16
Yeah, totally understand.
05:17
At some point in time, if this wind does shift,
05:21
see if you can make a line around the back side of that stuff somehow.
05:27
That way we might get in there and inspect it.
05:36
Yeah,
05:38
mainly from that fire edge in the back, as far back as it trailed, just trying to get a perimeter around it and see what we can see.
05:49
I mean, that's clear.
05:51
There's a good bit of concrete.
05:52
It seems like piled up over here in some of these weeds I was getting into, but I'll look at it in a minute.
05:58
I'm just going to try to get some of the pressure off this corner because it's going to blow it out.
06:04
Yeah,
06:05
it's all you,
06:07
just be aware, you've got a wind shift now, so you're probably going to lose visibility.
