Go ahead. Yeah, I don't know.
00:45
You think you really need water in this weather or do you think we just need a hand crew to cut a line around it? I think the hand crew will be fine for now.
00:51
With this rain and how wet it is, I think we've cut a big line around this and it's all good.
00:55
You actually sent Compton in with the paintoff? Uh,
00:57
yeah, affirmative, I'll do that with Compton.
00:59
Station 1, can you see if you can put together a crew with some tools and maybe come in in a utility, like 91 or 97.
01:06
You're going to have to go all the way down towards 395 and come in on that sawmill road down there.
01:11
And then you need to make a right once you get up by the Whiteneret's little mini excavator.
01:17
And you'll come down a little bit and you'll see our vehicles park.
01:19
But we just need four or five bodies.
01:21
Probably, you know, utility is going to be easier to get in here.
01:23
We just need some hand tools for crew.
01:25
Stop, Jack, getting it put together.
01:27
The time control, sawmill is good.
01:29
Okay, crew two, you're going to the sawmill incident.
01:32
You guys will be the sawmill IC and I'll be your point of contact.
01:36
We can use North Tone 2 and we'll share TAC 7[3] with the other, we shouldn't be impacting that too much.
01:47
And additional resources available, I got a Type 3 engine[4], a Type 6 engine[5], and another crew available if you need them.
01:55

01:56
The size up that was given over by Bono with the plan by 20.
01:59
So we'll get back to you then.

02:13
Unit calling Battalion 12[2].

02:21

02:26
Got a good view over the valley and still not see any mugs up here.
02:30
Okay, why don't you mosey towards the sawmill incident and give crew to a hand?
02:35
Copy. Going to Sawmail in today. Battalion 12[2] crew to Permanel 1, best access is 203 into sawmill and work your way in. Tate 12 on North Town 2. Patrol 32. Go ahead, Patrol 32.
03:05
Yeah, Jason, I'm not sure if we're calling the sawmill, the same thing I'm looking at from up here. My smoke that I see, I'm putting it Smokey Bear Flats area, maybe just north of Smoky Bear Flats. Okay, I copy that. Can you head that way, and then I'll get Water Tender 21[6] as an extra set of eyes?
03:28
I'll start heading that way and I'm going to tie it with Patrol 31 here in a second I can bring him in tow with me okay I'll break water tender 21 did you copy possible smoke in the smoky bear area a firm there you copy direct we'll head that way we just came past there I didn't see anything visible visibility was also limited
03:58
Okay, why don't you just stage at Smokey Bear Flats and just keep an eye out where you have a good view? Okay, I copy.
04:26
You could try. I haven't tried yet. You can also try them on the Mammoth Fire attack or Vfire 21.
04:38
Can we see if the units on the sawmill incident could try to contact crew two on tack seven?
04:45
48 was that report was taken. That's a good copy. Thank you, Inyo. Inno, we're working a second vague smoke report in the Smoky Bear area. I've got Watertender 21 and Patrol 32 in the area searching.
05:10
Go ahead to recruit you. We'll see that and reach out and contact you. We're seeing at this fire at the call of the Sommel incident. A firm, we're coming up on it, looking for best access. So if you came in on 3.95, come in on the 201 3. It's that, as you're coming in town, it's the first right you can take. It's kind of a diagonal road that goes off there. This is Mark Sommel on the map.
05:35
The second one has a white and red little mini excavator. Cross over to the right on that one, and then take your first left, you'll wind right into it.
