Rescue one.
00:01
Go ahead and start rolling a brush truck to our direction.
00:05
Off of Hansel off of 70.
00:06
Got light smoke off in some wooded area.
00:09
We're still trying to make access to the town.
00:11
Copy that. I think they came in off of Cross or Rowan last time.
00:18
Copy-neck, sorry, head to Hatwave.
00:20
We came in off a sette.
00:22
We're trying to make access to it now.
00:25
We'll, uh,
00:27
survive your trouble.
00:34
You want, Chief D.
00:35
Go ahead, Chief D.
00:42
You had on that call there off of a Hansel? Is it off of Hansel or off a cross?
00:52
Off of Hansel, we came in off of 70.
00:56
We can't just quite make access to it.
00:58
We're back here by this big radio tower now.
01:08
You'll have to go through all kinds of mazes to get that engine through there.
01:13
The best way to go back off of 70s come up to Hansel itself and go all the way to the end.
01:18
It looks like a gate but you can go around it.
01:21
And about 200 feet past that gate, another gate goes into turner rows there.
01:26
That's the only way to make access to that wooded area.
01:29
Ah, you were breaking up on that last transmission.
01:32
You say access off the row end.
01:35
Yeah, there's access off of Rowan.
01:37
It goes into Turner's Grove right there.
01:40
But you can also get it from Hansel off of 70.
01:44
Yeah, we're off of 70 now.
01:47
We're kind of hitting the bed in back here.
01:49
I got a brush truck heading there towards Rowan now.
01:52
Yeah, if you go away off of 70 to the end of it, it looks like there's a gate there, but you can actually go around that gate.
01:59
Copy that.
02:01
The easiest would be off, like you said, off the road and what a brush truck to get in there.
02:06
Artudiate, Battalion One.
