We don't have enough hose.

My hose has a leak in it, so we can't stretch it anymore.

But we got heavy fire in the woods out of our reach.
04:28
All right, can the DOD get to it?

No, there's no way unless we have enough hose.

04:48
But yeah, there's a lot of fire back here we can't get to.

Okay, let's just put everybody, let's put a perimeter around as much as we can until we get forest service here.

Keep out, command, 801.
