05:12
We're just going to have you standby at the road for right now.

Get a ladder or start accessing it, we're going to have to get up on top of this fire.

If the farmers there ask them what the access points are, he'll know better.
06:38
Tank 174 from command.

08:38
149, go ahead.
08:41
Just so you're aware, 243 is able to drive and dump.
08:45
Why don't we just put them around the edge and just soak this real good?
08:50
Because I still see green down there and I'd like to keep the tankers away from the green.
08:54
And it's not going anywhere too quick, so you've got to cut it.
