You got to go down the Dove Lane there where I was telling you to go.
00:03
I can see a bunch of spruce trees are on fire.
00:05
I got to get a little bit closer to see a little bit better, but it is on that west side.
00:12
Copy that, west side of Dove Lane, you said?
00:15
Correct.
00:16
Do you have a cone or something you can throw out, buddy, for us to see?
00:20
I'm trying to check and see if there's a way down there through County Road 145.
00:24
Five right now.
00:28
Ten four, buddy.
00:31
We're about 20 min out yet.
00:32
So once you get eyes on it, just hang back.
00:36
If it's too large or anything like that, get some apparatus there to help you out.
00:40
I'm gonna see if I can get over there.
00:42
It looks like somebody started a big brush pile on fire.
00:47
Copy that, brush pile.
00:48
Did you say it was running into the trees from the brush pile?
00:52
It looked like it from a distance, but it looks like it's pretty much right where the brush is, but they do have this thing kind of massive for what it is.
01:01
I cannot wait to write kind of massive for what it is on the paperwork tonight.
01:10
The fire itself is on the far side, far south side of Door Lake Two.
01:16
Are you at the fire now, buddy?
01:19
Yeah, I can see it.
01:20
I just can't find a trail to get to it.
01:22
The wind is starting to carry it a little bit too much.
01:26
Hey,
01:28
Jolky to Buddy, would you be able to describe this fire for us a little bit? Is this going to be near structures or? Is it just burning a little pocket of brush? Can you give us an idea of maybe what it looks like?
01:43
Yeah, it's just a brush pile, kind of in the middle of nowhere.
01:47
Like I said, I'm not seeing a trail there.
01:49
I'm trying to find something on the map, but there is a big pond.
01:52
Well, technically, Deer Lake is right between where I am and where it is right now.
01:56
I just can't find the road here to go to it.
01:59
Around it is a bunch of spruce trees and what looks like possibly dried out aspen and stuff.
02:05
Like I said, it is kind of big for what it should be.
02:09
Honestly, especially with the wind hitting it, it is starting to lick those spruce just a little bit.
02:15
It's a little too close for comfort, in my opinion.
02:18
For the most part, it looks pretty contained though, considering.
02:23
You see anybody out there, buddy, or is it unoccupied?
02:29
I have yet to see anybody.
02:31
I'm gonna go try and see if this road will take me down back there right now.
02:35
Copy that.
02:37
Anybody aware of what the burning conditions are? And
02:41
what are you thinking that we should maybe get DNR called in on this too?
02:47
We're gonna look it up right now, my MC.
02:50
Isaac to C1.
02:53
Go ahead.
02:54
Yeah, (name withheld)'s meeting me here.
02:56
We're gonna head out.
02:57
Sounds like probably a brush rig is the best thing, or you want water?
03:01
I'd roll a brush rig.
03:03
Got the beast on the way.
03:04
If we need the water, we can draft that.
03:08
Ten four, we'll be heading out here shortly.
03:10
I got buddies here.
03:12
Anything else you'd like us to grab out before departure?
03:15
Negative.
03:17
That's all we're going to need, hopefully.
03:19
Ten four.
03:23
Duluth to C one, according to the Minnesota DNR as of today's date, burning permits are still required according to the website.
03:32
So might want.
03:33
I give the DNR a shout if it is a pile burn.
03:37
Ten four, I will reach out to station.
