I don't believe there's any residents to the south of this fire. I think the addresses that we're given are going to be good. We can reevaluate after several drops. We'll try to keep this in this canyon. Copy. We're still working on getting that sent out, but we'll advise once it's done. Friday, copy, thanks. (name withheld). Go ahead. The more I think about this, when you and I hook up, I'm probably going to give you the Starlink. Have you continue, get them in operations. I don't think there's anything else from the mutt. And this other fire south of town is blowing up. They're probably going to stand up the EOC. And they probably need to be a piece of that. Copy, why don't we see if we can meet sooner, like at Helen's store? I'm north on 501, so it would be like the gravel pit. When you turn at Helen's store and come across, it would be the next intersection there. Oh, yeah, that's the lemon turn off. Then continue. I'll just continue until I hit 501. Correct. I'll meet you at the intersection of 501 and whatever that little cutoff is between Helens and 501. Copy. Busting, corkish. Got it. Okay, don't know if I said... you already, but we've been asked to stand up the call center. Biler is all over that, getting volunteers in place. He will call dispatch directly when the call center is operative. Bruckner is also monitoring, Saw 1 in case, you know, anything happens from a search and rescue or, hey, can you help me need? And as you heard, I'm dropping the Starlink off with... Atkins, and then I'll return to probably the EOC.
