We're going to go back in the woods and take the trails and try and circle it. We went to the left of where we were all through the woods and didn't have any luck over there. But it looks like the fire got out of control going left from your position. I don't know directions. I'll turn around back here. I'm clear on that. And there should be a creek that runs through the property. It's a little bit towards the northern end. A creek at some point. 670. 607. Is fire out with you guys? 316. Affirmative. I'm transferring them now to 2474, South Virginia. Correct. 316, 2474, South Virginia. This will be the law point or the incident occurred. If you could change that to the lock point? That's clear. 317. 317. Can you see a fire can assist us in checking the property? We're not seeing them and the fire is burnt out and all the stuff is all burnt up. The fire got out of control somewhere. We're going to temporarily have all northbound national shutdown for the tow truck. Yeah, we can do that as long as it's not going to mess up a track. A dog.

I'm going to work crisscross across the woods coming back. I'm clear. So you guys walked north where he found where he started burning? Yeah, there's one propane tank right there at the entrance by you. And then the other one's in the far corner all burnt up. So I don't know if he was in front of the fire and got caught in it or if it just be dropped it and ran. Thank you. Thank you.
