check really well. Smoke's kind of cleared up, so I'm able to see a little bit more. It looks like most of the material is contained within the individual roll-off dumpsters, so it is going to be difficult, and heavy equipment can have their work get out for them to get all that material out. Yeah, Charlie, I copy. We've got a plan. We're going to implement an alpha. We're going to start cutting some companies loose and just leave one company pumping one line over there.

ladder pipe is it effective or should we shut it down and kind of see what we got? Yeah, truck 98 on Delta as well as ours on Charlie are both doing pretty good work right now. I think if we shut them down, we're just going to get an increase of smoke. Everything's deep-seated, so nothing's going to really show through to where we can get full extinguishment. Everything is so compacted into those 40-yard roll-off containers that I recommend keeping the water going on it.
