4-08 from quarters. Yeah, go ahead. What's your location? Just going by Vining's on the Town Farm Road coming back that way. I can't see anything on Town Farm. Okay, I'm off at the movie theater. I think I found it. I can't tell which side of the river is on, but there's definitely something better. Okay, copy that. Is there an area off-town farm that I could get?

Towards you? I don't know. I'm going to take a walk. Probably going to have them start down with the ATV. Get that ready at least until I can figure out. I'm going to walk up the railroad bed and see if I can see what side of the river it's on. Okay, so do you want me to come to you at the movie theater or in that park lot off front street? Why should you go to Styler Street first and just stay by there?

I'll let you know a bit. Copy that. Brian will be off at the movie theater, check it on that smoke. It's around the river, on the Fairbank side of the river bed.

You're coming back towards town. You know where the daycare is before you get to the ledges on the right? Did you say the bakery? No, there's a daycare on the right. And across from that, be your driveway on your left. The house sits up away from the road. You might want to ride up there. They've been known to burn before. Yeah, I copy that. I'm off there now.

Frankl, reporter. Four hundred, go ahead. Frankl, I'm going to be off with the fire. It's a fairly decent-sized camp fire at a camp on the edge of the river out here off the front street narrow gauge section. So I'll be talking to the people. Copy that.

I'm gonna have the side-by-side come down so you can extinguish with this. Copy that. This is my best way to get down to you from your vehicle. I'm at the parking lot, the UMF parking lot. Yep, just stay on the railroad bed. You'll see me. I'm right off to the right hand side.
