We're able to put the pressure down this path, and where we need to stop, we probably can take that line, which is about 500 yards, we get to the top of the hill, which is the edge of the fire.
00:12
Okay, your call, if you want to go down to the edge of the fire, you have 250 gallons.
00:18
If you want me to try to establish a water supply coming up from Anakin Parkway, let me know.
00:25
Okay, and the message.
00:26
Time, nine, it's a man.
00:27
Go ahead, Connons.
00:28
We actually have enough engine companies on the energy side.
00:31
We're in the process of hooking up.
00:32
One of the offices is wiring, if we had a manifold that we could run up from this side, that might be the most effective way to get water.
00:40
A fold engine 30 has one, I don't know, that's available.
00:43
If you could help us out on that end.
00:44

We can use that extra 100 feet, stand here, and we can get hold for this dark down.
01:06
It's all just smoldering pretty much now.

Okay, two members from 53 have just gone down to bring back 100 feet of engine 3 quarter.
01:25
You're going to hook it up to 55's line.
01:27
If we can keep 55 flying supplied with water, We're at the top of the hill, we can get the fire at the bottom of the hill and the fire on the hill knocked down.
01:39
It's mostly just moldering at this point.
01:41
Johnny, I don't know exactly where you ended.
01:44
