Okay, well as the drop, we can follow you through or go ahead and come around on our own, if you'd like, I can basically tie it in at the road and then hug them right or hug them tight on the west side of the ridge and run it down the line.

We're going to put it on the opposite side of that dozer line.
01:42
The opposite side of the dozer line, got you in sight, down to 55.
01:45
Yeah, come on down to 5500.
01:47
We'll put it on the west side of the dozer line.
01:50
That's all of 169 went to the opposite side.
01:53
Good. Yeah, there's some Red Bulldozers.
01:55
A day it. The single card was all the dozers, you got it on 169.

02:00
Tango training, air-took.
02:02
And one-four, we'll be looking for you.
02:03
Where we are dropping, and that's about where our start point is going to be.
02:08
We're going to start greenside and some retardant heading it back, probably back towards the north.
02:11
107, how are we looking? Okay, good, ready to go to work.
02:14
You've got the idea? We're going to go down the ocean, the west side of that dozer line.
02:20
You got them? We got it.
02:22
All right, my friend, coverage level 6, full load.
02:24
Start a little bit early.

We're in a different one area.
02:44
One, two, one. Call is available.
02:46
Over, uh, lightning.
02:47
Yeah,
02:48
we're at that, uh, parking section between a 74 and 75.
02:52
104.
02:53
Like, there might be a vehicle that just showed up on the very top, so don't start that early at least 1.7.
02:58
That's the vehicle.
02:59
We'll start just after him.
03:00
As you start down the hill, you'll see it comes into view pretty well.
03:03
Start well past that vehicle.
03:04
Okay. You basically want me to tie in the two retard lines, correct?
03:08
Okay. Affirm. Hey, sir. There is a cellarmard.
03:10
They're the ground command.
03:11
Palomar, you call an airtoucher to recommend.
03:12
That's affirmative, sir.
03:14
I'd like to get on cue for a Tech 1 shift to continue helping us to go direct on.
03:18
Go back.
03:19
I'm gonna get on you.
03:20
We've got priority missions up in Oster right now and working two helicopters.
03:24
We've got some fuel in return.
03:26
We've got a hillco coming up that way here soon.
03:29
I'll get him to tie in with you guys and see if we can get something for you.
03:33
Okay, I just wanted to put it in here.
03:35
Happy. Charlie 17, attacking.
03:36
107, that was a good start, good line.
03:38
See in a bit.
03:39
Well, thanks a y'all, appreciate it.
03:40
If you ease that turn out just a little bit, I'm coming back to that star goes 107 drop.
03:45
That's just like we're working about, I believe we're working to start this new project.
03:48
Rolls week level, I've got you to site.
03:51
First time I'm running this, we're on the run, so we'll kind of take this on the fly.
03:55
All right, first time on the fire for me, so yep.
03:57
...for the Campbell followers 477.
04:00
Ayrtecotech, Goelius, a better back to me.
04:02
So, and trainee, air attack.
04:03
We've got the dozers boxed in and I just want to confirm the lines clear over here and then we're tying into this retardant at the top of the hill where we've tied in with the box of the dozers and then we're going to head out here to the northwest.
04:14
So where you guys are dropping now and go straight up that dozer line, tie in just below where you guys brought the retardant line down from Cincinnati lookout.
04:23
Do you happen to have any insight? Uh,
04:24
here. Hang your trainee.
04:25
Yeah, I'm making the way up there right now.
04:27
Okay, perfect. They're in a blue truck and you'll tie right in, don't.
04:30
Okay. Yeah,
04:31
copy. Okay, I do see that so far.
04:32
We'll get a Type 1 helicopter ordered up for you.
04:34
Let me see if we could bring the retardant over to and kind of box that in for you.
04:38
Okay, yeah, I'm happy.
04:39
Thank you.
04:40
Coverage level six.
04:41
And I think we're going to do some start, stop.
04:44
Just this matter road and he'll run into you guys.
04:47
Oh, my.
04:48
But we can guide him to the right direction and so maybe we'll have to grab them.
04:51
Fire over there, seeing if we can possibly block that anti-it into the Dozer line.
