We're going to leave some people here at the station.

Copy that.

8.04, why don't you go up each Brook Road and come back across towards Mitchell Brook at the top of the hill there? I think you'll be fine in the forestry truck.
01:08
Go up Heath Brook Road and come back across.
01:18
Yeah, you'll go up Eidgbrook and at the top of that hill it's actually Farms Edge Road, but there's no sign.
01:26
Just come back towards Metro Brook. It's the first turn on the mountain.
01:34
Right at the corner instead of turning to go up on the mountain, it goes straight ahead, right?
01:42
No, turn to come up the mountain and then it's going to be your first left at the top of it. It's like a mile up at the top of the hill.
01:53
Copy that.
01:57
Franklin's from 193.

If you come up Mitchell Brook to the end of where the town road is, you can take the side-by-side off there.
03:02
The fire is pretty well contained, but we're going to need to wet it down. I think it'd be easier to get your side-by-side up in here than the forestry truck.

No,
03:14
we can do that.
03:16
We'll be there in just a few minutes.
