We're on stage going up on Teddy Bear.
00:24
...to the east and then you'll go north up Fever Lake Trail and he's up...
00:31
Maybe half mile to the east.
00:35
Okay, Claire.
00:36
We're just in dense trees.
00:38
Can't see the smoke. Clear, I do have law enforcement coming from the opposite direction on Pointer Road as well, so I'm going to try to guide him back via his AVO.
00:45
And it's over the hill.
00:47
He said you can drive through anywhere in the cut-open area to get home.
00:51
I'm going to have to know what is this going to be up by closer to the game refuge?

01:01
I was all a truck per side.
01:02

01:06
I'm at the game refuge right now.

You got a vehicle fire a tractor that's supposed to be on fire just south on Peter Trail.
01:13
That'll be there.
01:15
Guys, it's north-east of us, but I'm not sure on the trail.
01:22
If you want to go ahead and try and go down that trail, take the first right that you have available and see if you can make it down there.
01:28
It's going to be in the approximate direction of the fire.
01:31
location. We took the trail that 723 is sitting at the end of, unknown of the name, and we went straight and were potentially close to the fire, but there was one trail before that cut off to the right, which I'd like 23 or another unit to try and see.
01:48
The drive or a trail some sort that'll take you back to where you're at, he can't see the trail that you're on from where he's standing you's pretty far back.
01:55
Clear. Yeah, I see some smoke over the east of me, so we're going to try to make it over there.
02:01
Clear.
02:02
33. I'm the only one on today.
02:03
33, you want to point down to 55 in town line, please?
02:06
Sure. Get there, Matt.
02:07
First right was too tight for us, 41, we're going to continue on.
02:12
I would say back out, this is a no-go also.
02:15
You're not going to fit. We're going to come back to that turn and see if we can see what's going on.
02:20
Copy.
02:21
Back on the main river headed back northportstown.
02:24
I want to see if I find another road.
02:26
Thoughts on going back and getting the other truck and the buggy so we can have more units on these tight trails.
02:32
Central law enforcement has gone in front of me.
02:35
Just advise if he finds it, I don't think I can make it down this.
02:38
A firm, we also have ORV law enforcement heading down there as well.
02:44
23. Go ahead.
02:45
I see you heading down that trail.
02:47
If you can get back there and see that's where the fire is, if you can advise the fire department that's behind you, he doesn't believe he can get back there.
02:55
Clear. Central Plan out of 344.
02:58
Last Trail.
