Yeah, I copy that. Our fire is moving towards you also.
00:03
So, thanks, it's all good.
00:09
From everything I can see,
00:12
uh,
00:13
from the beginning of overflow parking, we're going to have a good wide break.
00:18
And the fires are going to merge towards each other, it looks like.
00:24
Copy that, we'll let you get a little further ahead and then we'll pick them right straight.
00:31
Want us to drop down on the trail a little bit to cut it off and then start over or just keep going?
00:42
I think we'll just keep going as long as we don't see any major wind change.
00:48
Copy that.
00:54
(name withheld), (name withheld), did you want us to loop back around to the beginning with the Capoda?
01:00
That'd be great.
01:03
Copy that.
01:08
(name withheld), Sean, is it wide to the Cabota or does that area need to be widened?
01:18
Widen just a little bit more.
01:23
Yeah.
01:28
They're just slowly widening behind us, correct?
01:33
That's correct, yeah, it's kind of puffing around.
01:38
That's good, we'll just let it do this thing.
01:43
Copy that.
01:45
Hannah to Sean.
01:56
I have walked our initial line and it is not creeping into the woods.
02:03
I'm back at the start of ignition.
02:06
Where do you want me to go?
02:10
If you're back at the point of ignition,
02:13
why don't you just walk it one more time to our fire line and then walk down the line and meet up with us? You can drop a bladder bag, though,
02:21
at the road, so we can find it later.
02:25
All right, coffee.
02:29
Reef and oven, when you get back, can you put some water on this carton sign, the wood-rotted sign on the road, please?
02:39
We will do that.
02:40
And the way it looks for me is both of our fires are kind of like flanking fires and just slowly widening with more as a flank.
02:52
Same here.
02:57
Before that sign, to see if you guys needed some water quick, then he's going to come back and join it.
03:07
You know, is that sign in a little water?
03:12
Yes,
03:17
it does. ... across the, uh,
03:21
walking, uh, the Cardin Trail right now,
03:25
and start lighten the ditch by the picnic area.
03:36
Okay. So why don't you wait a little bit?
03:40
Um...
03:41
Looks like our little planking fire is starting to go out.
03:44
I'm going to have to widen here.
03:49
Copy that. Our fire is still not running at you hardly over, so I think we're good on this side.
03:56
Copy, I'm going to jump in and widen here.
04:03
(name withheld), when the smoke and heat clear enough, you and (name withheld) can get caught up to us to make sure lines good.
04:11
Copy that.
