It's got a long ways to go to go to get to the site.
00:03
It's up that canyon there above (number withheld), and it's far enough away from the houses it doesn't really seem to be causing any problems.
00:15
And that I don't see any growth in that direction.
00:24
Yeah, we're stuck.
00:25
To have to evacuate.
00:31
Yeah, Truckee Meadows Fire 10 is to evacuate Carson City when we got a fire instead.
00:39
Well, I just hope it doesn't work out bad for the people there.
00:43
You know, I mean, I'm out Beckwourth right now talking into the PVI machine, and you know, with the big Beckwourth fire and all that stuff, that thing burned to within a half a mile, man.
00:55
I was on standby to leave the whole time.
01:03
Oh yeah, I've and I know that game.
01:08
Twenty years being on incident management teams,
01:11
I've kind of learned to look at the stuff a little more carefully.
01:15
Anyway,
01:16
but yeah, it doesn't really.
01:19
See, I'm not seeing any rural growth and I'm seeing more units show in.
01:25
It just blobs a light headed in, but you know the actual growth.
01:32
The actual footprint of the fire is showing hard white.
01:37
It doesn't seem to be growing.
01:44
Let's hope it doesn't go anywhere, and let's hope they squash it early.
01:48
You know, the entire Beckwourth complex started on the sugar loaves just north of where the airport is in Beckwourth.
01:57
And most of us who were out here at the time and saw it realized that they made a huge mistake not to squash the thing when they could have.
02:07
And it was just a tiny little area on the sugar loaves.
02:11
And they let it go to the next day.
02:12
And sure enough, the wind came out of the west and blew that thing into a record fire.
02:24
Oh yeah, I've seen that happen and that.
02:29
But yeah, I'm seeing more resources showing up, so hopefully they got this one.
02:38
That'd be a six US.
02:43
Is it (name withheld)? The name here is (name withheld).
02:48
Okay, (name withheld), yeah, it is (name withheld).
02:54
I've heard you in there a bunch.
02:55
You're on frequently, and you have a lot of helpful comments that are always helping people.
03:00
So I kind of noticed that.
03:02
I picked them up on your name from previous times that I've heard you in there.
03:10
Oh, thank you.
03:11
I try to help out wherever it's available.
03:15
So anyway, I'll sit here and watch for a while.
03:20
And that, and.
03:22
Hopefully we're not going to see much from the spread.
03:25
That'd be a six US.
03:28
Hey, 73, and have a nice evening.
03:32
I think I got to jump off because I got to be out at like 5:30 in the morning tomorrow, so take care.
03:38
73 from (number withheld), and
03:41
I'll be out.
03:42
03:53
(number withheld) and
03:56
yeah, I've got eyes on it.
03:58
Now it doesn't look too terrible.
04:00
It's more of a glow,
04:02
but I do see it. Looks like they have a few vehicles kind of starting to spread out around it.
04:09
I see something blinking like there's a helicopter or something flying around there too, but it's more of a glow.
04:15
I don't really see flames and it seems like the wind's gone down a lot, so that's good.
Wildfire
