Nine forty-one, okay, for us.
00:01
Nine
00:04
forty-one. I was able to hike up the hill, approximately six to 800 ft .
00:11
It's just burning in the understory, light fuels.
00:15
There are some areas of hot spot burning.
00:18
The fire is progressing further north.
00:22
And that's the
00:24
best for the fire.
00:25
The bulk of the fire on this highway would be the fire conditions of our area at 700 and forty-seven.
00:29
But traffic is a progressive flow.
00:34
Hi, copy. Do you think you would need anything of a freeway?
00:37
I was saying was showing anything.
00:40
I am not sure as far as the velocity was.
00:44
This might be some working off the drops.
00:50
We can see if we can free that up a little while.
00:52
I'm just going to continue working from down here.
00:54
Do you have any thoughts on that?
00:58
Now unless air is able to get better eyes to see the progression going past the burning area, I don't have a good advance at this point.
01:07
I copy. And I think there's other priorities for the air right now, the structures.
01:11
Okay, I'll send copies.
01:15
That's affirmative.
01:16
ENR 747 standing by.
01:21
Yeah, operation.
01:25
There's no.
01:27
Yeah, just checking in to see if you guys.
01:33
Right now we're good with the resources that we have.
01:36
And do you have anything working the upper river side of the fire?
01:42
Can you repeat?
01:44
Yeah, there's nothing working the upper river side of the fire.
01:48
You know, the hill.
01:53
Right in at on Upper River Bend Road, (number withheld).
01:58
We've anchored in there and they're working the west flank, almost to the Dan Trail.
02:06
Copy. I'm probably going to try to get another division established to work that area between you and Zulu on the downhill side of the right lane.
02:16
Division Alpha, copy.
02:18
Division Alpha, 940.
02:22
Division Alpha.
02:25
Yeah, just for clarity, did you send a hand crew this way or no?
02:29
We do not have one available at this time.
02:33
Thanks.
02:35
Do you need an anchor?
02:39
It's not critical, but I could.
02:40
Yes.
02:43
Division Alpha, copy.
02:44
Stand by.
02:46
From Division Alpha.
02:49
Division Alpha.
02:53
Yeah, can you break it down for me?
03:01
Stand by. 941 from Division Alpha.
03:05
Go ahead.
03:07
Are you able to break away?
03:09
Operations was asking for you, and if so, can Spokane Engine Eight take over your eyes near position for me?
03:17
Yeah, that's an eight for eleven.
03:18
You just do some communications, and I'll get back to you before I look out.
03:23
Operation Alpha, did you
03:28
copy that traffic from 900 and forty-one?
03:31
Copy that, operation.
03:36
That's affirmative.
03:37
He's doing a transfer.
03:40
His Spokane engine eight will be out here shortly.
