Mark, I'm wondering if I just don't stop Moorfield right here and have them go straight up through.
00:03
You see that fire up to the middle?
00:08
That's whatever you think.
00:10
I mean, there's a lot of hot spots in there.
00:12
I'm afraid they might burn up some hose.
00:15
But whatever you think.
00:19
I never mind.
00:20
I think I'm just around them up the north flanker and have them to get around it, hopefully.
00:25
Yeah,
00:26
that'd probably be your best bet.
00:32
It might have to give them a little extra hose to hook into them, but I'm just afraid they'll burn up some hose trying to go through the middle like that.
00:42
Yeah, Cobb. It should have enough.
00:44
We're good to probably go on the north flank there and try to get around it.
00:52
Tim on North flank,
00:53
my brush truck will be coming in, we'll put them in the middle, and then Maysville can do the south.
00:58
And hopefully we'll run out of the word about the same time, I'll go out together.
01:04
Okay.
01:09
I don't let you see it or not.

It must make the wrong turn some place when we come all up to the house on top,
02:29
a full wheeler sitting there.
02:30
I think we've got to go back out and take the right where we took it left.
02:35
Okay, if you come up to where it's Radford Drive,
02:40
Yeah.
02:42
Yeah, yeah, you come back out and make the right and come up over here.
02:47

But you know, I'm going to put you on the north flank, run a line up around it.
02:54
I got fire starting up the mountain there a little bit.
02:56
I need to get a line up there and try to get it stopped.
03:00
I'll try to get it stopped.

03:12
We got it burning up to us.
