From where you are right now,
00:26
come to the left,
00:28
probably about 30 feet.
00:35
No, it's a limited.
00:37
If we were tracked more, I'd be able to hit the front of it, but then I'd want to be able to get behind it.
00:43
Yeah, give you a real quick shot and then we may, yeah, you're right there, that's it right there.
00:47
If you can go down from where you are?
00:51
Yeah, that's as far as it'll go.
00:53
Oh, hold on, I'm tracking.
00:56
Okay, good copy. Just soak what you can for that right there and then we'll come back to that one later with the handline.
01:05
The kind of engine two seven, you know, fox drop.
01:08
Go ahead.
01:10
We're assignment complete.
01:12
In point.

01:31
(Name withheld) is injured at this time.
01:32
You have a hydro on the property.
01:34
Rush five and you cancel.
01:41
Ten, four, six, I can't each have a rush five clear and metal.
01:45
Timber.

(Name withheld).
02:00
Yes.
02:03
FMO just said on the seat side of the house there's a fire pit trying not to hit that.
02:13
Okay.
02:15
Okay.
02:22
Command at 44-2.
02:26
Good.
02:28
When you're done doing what you're doing there,
02:31
see if you can go real low and just get into that window right by the front door.
02:36
There's so much degree in there.
02:37
I think with the power of the stream you have, you can really soak that.
02:45
Okay.
02:47
Right of the front door, the roof and the walls and everything seemed to be intact pretty good, but I'll do my best.
02:53
Good up.
02:59
You're talking about right in here?
03:03
No, I was actually talking about having you come down to the first floor and straight in that window and that front door.
03:09
To the left of the front door?
03:12
Can't even bring your stick all the way down and just go straight in there if you can't.
03:20
You're talking about the round window above the front door?
03:27
Negative.
03:28
So you're looking at the apex of the front door here,
03:33
that double window to the left of it on the first floor, there's a whole bunch of degree in that window.
03:39
Does that make more sense?
03:43
Okay, copy.
03:54
If I'm not saying it correctly, you want to lower the stick all the way to the ground and go in from the first floor window? Yeah,
04:02
that's what I'm thinking.
04:03
Given the amount of debris that's in there in the heat and the wind...
04:10
Okay, copy that.
04:11
You can have everybody in the front yard move out of the way.
