What engine? Is it a type one engine or a type six?

00:06

Type one.

00:10

Yeah, we can release the type one engine.

00:14

And that's correct.

00:23

I do have a hydrant down here though.

00:27

All right, are we able to get a tender in closer now? Where we're not using helicopters, but we might need some extra water up here.

00:37

I'm not sure how much water we'll need,

00:39

but we're going to try to shuttle water in using four wheelers.

00:45

I could probably put him at the bottom of the Bates Canyon in that trailhead area.

00:50

Probably about the closest he can get to you.

00:55

Yeah, let's do that.

00:57

Now we just have a closer water source.

00:59

We're not going all the way back out to that hydrant.

01:02

We'll just have him stage there and we'll just hang on to him.

01:08

Sure.

01:14

Very tough attack.

01:19

Tulsa from base command, we can see our checks.

01:23

We've got accountability of all resources.
