To the right of that further down, we have this one and I believe a heavy brush back here stopping the threat on the structure. Confirm you've got attack on 161 and heavy brush from Pucci. Back there, protecting the structure, that's correct. Engine 23. Yes, sir, that's correct. We have... Correct, but right now it's still moving along this fence line pretty fast. So it's just going to keep going along this fence line. De-structure down is going to start getting threatened to get it. We can't get trucks back here. That's clear. Is there a clear path to be able to put trucks down the back down lines of these properties? Not really because each fence, each property has a fence. boats and vehicles behind each property. We're just trying to walk the line and triage and be structures as much as we can, clearing stuff that we're able to. That's clear. I'm going to be deploying the Pro T 1015 to the next property over west from you guys, and we'll just start leap-progging that way.
