If you can get any other information, there would be a couple. In 104, the complainant is going to be the person that's burning. I did invite (name withheld) that we were under a burn ban and she said she can't put it out. She would not give me an address. She just gave me the location and said that fire units would not be able to get through because of the creek. There's nothing further. Canning show 726 in the area. Looks like it's going to be behind address 6628 highway 142. 10.7.7. If you come down 142, a little past board trigger loop, you can see it from 142. I don't know. The best access is, though. Is it the same burn that was back there on the control burn from the other day? Creasy, I think so. It's kind of hidden. It's important laid by train, but we'll be there just commit.
