I got a couple of headlamps walking up the spur road.
00:02
We've already put a bunch of water in there.
00:04
You see you need some more though.
00:05
I was trying to cool down the ridge here.
00:07
Yeah, when you come up the road there, I think I can see the road.
00:10
I think the first spot fires off the right side of the road.
00:12
Let me know if that sounds accurate when you get in there.
00:15
I'll do it too. Grabbite 16-1.
00:17
Grass on. We've got hos around the fire, looking at four to five acres.
00:21
And take a wild guess, about four to five hour commitment.

00:28
I got a crew walking into the spot fires where the larger spotfire...
00:32
I'm not ready to call it contagious, yeah, but we do have those around the firefire.
00:35
And Mag 2, I got a shoot up coming into that spot fire will be west of your crew there on the spur.

You're right off that Spurs where that spotfire is.

Watertender 62, Midnight 33.
00:52
And back to you, right with that copter drop, that's the edge of your spotfire.
00:55
And Mag 2 is your scouting, if you keep coming up the spur, the fire does touch the spur.
01:00
Okay, copy, I think from what I'm looking at, if you guys come up and work the bottom side of that spot, get around that spot, there's another one above it, and then work your way to the ridge, and I can keep the copters up on the ridge away from you.
