Thank you.
03:25
Prefecture. Ben?

You have to turn with a fire helicopter up from the very ghost fire.
03:36
For information, military overhead, has going to have to leave to refuel.
03:40
They are planning to return 15-minute ATA.T.A.
03:48
Where's it?
03:54
We're a C-E-1.
03:56
Go ahead.
03:59
Can you contact, J-Bel and find out where the plane is within the fire.
04:05
You're really hard to copy.
04:10
Safe 86 can put the drone up to see where the plane is at within the fire.
04:18
Do you see to return or a county drone? No, when Charles 86 should have a drone.
04:26
Copy.
04:31
Audrey, we're just trying to locate the plane so we're walking the perimeter of the fire right now.
04:37
Helicopter.
04:39
Copy. And is it confirmed a helicopter?
04:42
No, it's not confirmed, we're not sure yet.
04:50
June 91, go ahead.
04:54
Do you want to confirm access.
04:56
I would, looking at the map, assume that the S-line from Summit Lake Road would be a better route.
05:02
Confirm you have deputies from Turkey Road that have made access.
05:10
Okay, from engine 91 and engine 95, best access is going to be from Summit Lake, Turkey Road, law enforcement is on scene, and they're advising there's also a large fire.
05:21
We are working on contacting DNR as well.
05:26
Okay, and the road is suitable for fire vehicles to get up?
05:33
Let me confirm what the deputy is on scene.
05:39
M-11 radio.
05:44
Fire's asking if we're able to confirm if the engines are going to make it down.
05:52
Yeah, the engine can pick it down on the road.
05:55
We might have them several blocks here, but they'll be able to make it down here.
05:59
Copy things.
06:04
Yeah, thank you.
06:05
Go ahead. Go ahead.
06:10
We might be too far from their engines with hose line.
06:13
It's pretty deep in here.
06:15
Try DNR, the helicopter.
06:20
I know that we called, I'm just waiting to hear the update.
06:25
We have not found a plane yet.
06:27
We're still turning aboard the perimeter of the fire.
