If all of these are manmade, I don't know why they're doing it.
00:04
You know, what's in their head?
00:07
But yeah, it's so terrible.
00:10
We had what, one on the other fire, we had one death and one person badly burned, and what, quite a bit of houses lost.
00:22
So it's terrible.
00:33
Yeah, it's very concerning.
00:35
A friend of mine called me on GMRS just now.
00:39
He's out scouting out a hunting site, and he told me that he could see the fire and it sounded like what.
00:46
So I started looking at it.
00:56
Yeah, that's why I've been monitoring today because of the wind.
01:01
And then (name withheld) mentioned the fire earlier when it was like 50 acres or something or 10 acres, and now it's up to 1200 acres.
01:11
So it's growing, but they are attacking it according to it.
01:15
I don't, it's on watch duty, but they have a bunch of red lines on it and I don't know what those red lines mean.
01:22
And there's a lot of little spots all over the place, little red dots.
01:26
That are kind of blurry, and I don't know if those are little spot fires or what they are.
01:31
But the aircraft is giving them their approximate acreage, so they're working it.
01:39
Oh, I can see the aircraft on the ADS-B exchange, and let's see what the west side do I have here, but it looks interesting.
01:48
I think you might also be able to see it on the Flightradar24.
01:58
Yeah, they have a number of aircraft on it.
02:01
W6US.
02:05
W6US, how are you?
02:11
Sitting there watching it, they've got a pretty good return line on that south side tied back into the Hawk Fire.
02:19
So not as worried.
02:21
It's not burning toward
02:23
Verdi. Verdi's not really being threatened.
02:27
And that it's burning off to the north, northeast by east along the west and east side of the northwest side of the.
02:40
Hawk fire from last couple weeks ago.
