No active fire along the right flank, just a lot of hot spots.
00:53
We do have a long burning down towards 460, probably right behind Reno County Medics 12.
01:01
If you have any personnel along 460 that could walk down there and possibly get a hose line to there and also work on a line along the right flank, that would be helpful. I have four from Rono County Station 12 that are getting the hose line to start working the head.
01:17
along with the right flank.
01:19
I'm going to meet up with the rest of my crew and work out something real quick.

When we have an availability of a brush truck,
02:42
I was just wondering if we could maybe start on the side of the road and they can start proceeding up the bank about 10 or 15 feet.
02:50
If this resident, I'm at now, I'm working down the hill and getting the majority of it, but it'd be good to have another truck on the road starting to come up the hill just a little bit.

Just be advised we weren't able to completely complete a line along the right flank towards 460. Everything got so thick and we had access issues to be able to get down in there. I don't know if you have a...
07:18
some individuals on 1460 that could work their way up the mountain.
07:22
They also had some extension that jumped one of our lines on the right flank.
07:26
We've mitigated that hazard now.
07:29
Again, most of my individuals are working along the head of the left flank.
07:33
