Good. My UTV with two, center six UTV is on their way back there.

Copy that. When they get here, I'm probably going to pull those two guys out of here.
00:22
They're all back. Copy that, 57 will be getting here next.
00:25
Do you want walking manpower back there or is there places to put brush trucks?

Good. We had a little shift in wind, we're starting to catch up on it.

The next one that comes down with a leaf blower will be able to make a good headway on it if you want to send them to the right flank from the track.

17, it's Chief 19, I copy that.

Sorry about that. How far down over are you?

I think I can see the river through the trees, but it's still a long way's way.
01:07
They should be good from the top down to us.
01:11
I think we had a pretty good fire break.
01:13
We had one or two watch and I'm working our way down with us, so we just thought from about halfway down for the river to go.
