Firebird 503
16:47:41 26.6s
It's been about 15 minutes, 20 minutes since our first line, we've got some good developing incendiaries, where the fuel's available, probably got a 15 to 20 metre spread on the head fire from the ignition, 2 to 3 metre flame heights in the fuels, none of them have connected up as yet due to the spacing, but looking really here, and that's all in block 3 that I'm talking about.
5310679
16:48:09 7.3s
Yeah, and there's no signs of spread to the west in block 3, no signs of any spread to block 1, over.
Firebird 503
16:48:19 19.6s
Negative on that one. I can see some fairly good behaviour down the bottom end of block one from the hand ignition around that switchback where the becker blocks are, but all of our ignition above that is backing very slowly and at no risk.
5310679
16:48:39 6.2s
Yeah, and I'm assuming most of it's slope-driven, running up the slope towards the track where we've already led up, over.
Firebird 503
16:48:46 12.9s
Yeah, affirmative, the hand ignition was doing chevrons from the track you're on down slope, and we've just mimicked that with some of the fingers that are going from below up towards that ignition line.

Firebird 503
16:49:14 16.7s
That's affirmative, we'll go in and have a look, the smoke is building and it's not clearing as quickly as we'd like, but we'll go in around and have a look, we should be able to get in there, and probably about halfway through block 3 down slope.
5310679
16:49:31 9.3s
Roger, I think you've probably finished five, so if you can finish three, and then we might even sit down for a bit before we tackle four, over.
Firebird 503

Yeah, roger that. We did some circles in block 5, and a little above the first set of power lines, we left a buffer through to the eastern end of block 4 for you, but we'll come in and try and get in underneath our ignition on block 3 and bring it down, leaving a buffer to that creek again.
