We were able to jump across the fence line.

We're trying to hit the head of this fire,
00:33
but it's working its way under all these cedars, heading up your way.
00:39
Received. I'm gonna make my way back down to the road.
00:42
How far is it from the road in your position?
00:47
Probably within a hundred yards right now.

01:20
Received, South.
01:21
We've got a 77 unit working its way down in it, but I think the brush is going to be too thick.
01:27
We might just have to wait back at the road for it.
01:32
Yeah, down here there's no way a truck can get into it, and it's starting to get off in these cedars.

We might just pull back and concede that brush patch.
04:06

Brush 77, you have fire below you in that brush.
04:15

Flight time would be about 2 h , but he can send it.
04:50
Those are in his rush.
04:55
Brush 83, if you can.
04:58
We're not worrying about it too far up inside that brush.
05:00
We're letting that go.
05:02
If you can worry about that behind you before it gets into that brush, and I'm going to bring you around the corner up there.
05:07
Where is it?
05:10
Right in front of me, you have a pond.
05:12
If you stop there, and then there's just burning the brush right here.
05:15
But we're going to make a way back around.
05:20
Okay, yeah, I'll secure that line between you and Vaughn, and then meet with me back up in here to your right on the other side of the point.
05:30
South sector to command.
05:33
Command, go ahead.
05:36
You by chance got this aerial pulled up?
05:40
No, I have not yet.
05:44
Okay, from the cornfield to the east, just on the other side of the tree line, we do have a fence running north and south.
05:54
Along that fence, it looks like there is a creek and we do have a pond back here.
05:58
On my end, it has jumped the creek and it is now in the brush between the east line fence line and it's County Road 1022.
