00:03
Still no sign of smoke.
00:04
Are there any aerial assets that can divert over here to help us better locate this smoke? Just have copies, 581.
00:11
You're working your way up.
00:12
No sign so far.
00:13
We'd like some air to help find at 17.05.
00:16
I copy, yeah, does that give you guys enough time to bump out and take some of your name?
00:20
I copy, yes, appreciate it.
00:22
Copy that, thank you.
00:23
For a 581.
00:24
Yeah, I've been launching your detection camera, and I don't believe you're going to get to the location off of Cherry Flat Road above the high school.
00:32
This smoke's coming off of a ridgeline with a communication tower next to it.
00:36
You might want to get detection to try to re-frangulate.
00:38
Chopi, thank you for the information.
00:40
We'll be departing the fire and wrap back to Roseburg.
00:43

00:59
In just thoughts. Here there, bud.
01:00
Yeah, do you want me to try to relay for you?
01:02
Sure, you can let one of those chats know that we made it back to the rigs here, myself in 221, and just inquiring about any further needs or next mission.
01:15
Yeah, I would start just working your way up the hill.
01:19
Plains and 1900 at drop point 30.
01:24
Okay, I'll copy all.
01:26

01:33
City Zulu, Gopher Market.
01:35
Yeah, buddy.
01:36
It went well, yeah, there was rolling rocks and logs and whatnot, but everyone did a really good job.
01:43
Line looks good.
01:44
There's a little piece right below where the lookout symbol is, where the handline takes off from the dojoin, that probably would need a little cleanup.
01:52
That was pre-existing, not today's work, break.
01:54
But other than that, everything from there all the way down to the river trail looks real solid.
02:00
Okay,
02:01
this is currently that there is to strike the road to know back in that way.
02:06
Negative, no, 100% clean as you go.
02:09
It's just some leaf litter that looked like it kind of blew over there.
02:13
I got some of it off, but it's just a wrong degree slope that's like 45 degrees for that one pit, so it's really nasty in there, so I figured I'll leave it so we actually need it.
02:23
after a few days to get you guys and get you guys in to do and see the next time for me.
02:35
So yeah, we'll get on the guy and we'll be on a flip side.
02:42
Copy that, sir, we'll be on a flip side.
02:45
We can get four alpha fox in-rout if you believe there's a name for that.
02:50
To help us clear up it and continue to make sure we get this right.
02:55
I copy we'll get four alpha foxes in route.
