Yeah, looking at the fire behaviour and what you've got going on over there, I reckon you just need absolutely minimal patrol resources, yours is looking pretty safe and secure, over.

We just added 380 odd hills to block 4, stopping short of the arbitrary line that is on our map, and well short of your control line and pose. We'll just stand off and let that start to develop, look like the first two lines are starting to build nicely, but yeah, you're all good there.

Yeah, roger, you're happy from the bottom where the turnaround point is? Up? Over?
5310679
18:19:21
16.7s

Yeah, we don't want fire right down in the turnaround because we don't want it below this, the other side, so I reckon come down at least half, two thirds of the way, spot ignition every 20 metres, and then just let it finger up and flank out into block one and that should take care of it tonight, over.

Firebird 503

Sea loop sector, we just added 81 pills to that part of block 1 in three lines, just give that a bit of time to develop, but hopefully it carries enough to clear it out.

Firebird 503
18:15:53

Our plan will be to go east, west, west or east, and first putting in a line 10 approximately off your Rocky Hill trail, and working in a southerly direction down the slope to fill in the block.

We've just had a recce of block 4, plan is to work east to west or west to east, travelling in a southerly direction down the slope towards a creek line, and we'll put in some lines as per the instructions on the last block, smoke should be an issue at this stage.
5310679
18:09:53
10.7s

Yeah, roger, can you also just go down to block 1 and check in with Parky about how much thickening up, and you might have to do that last or first, depending on what the smoke's going to do.
Firebird 503
18:10:04
19.7s

Copy that, we'll track down to block 1 and have a look. We've also had a look at block 4 for correction, block 3, and there is what it looks like from reasonable unburned patches. We might be able to get in there once we're all done and use that as our last thing just to put some fire in there just to try and fill it in a bit.

Firebird 503
18:11:11

Yeah, copy that, Ron. We'll track east, it's pretty smoky down here, but we might be able to fill in some of the gaps just above your G wagon and just start filling that in and just bring it back up to the higher ignition line, so we'll treat that as our first job. Yeah, we'll come back around and convince shortly.

CFS 5310728 requested a flyover of block 1 and possible dropping in block 4; CFS 5310679 agreed and offered appliances on Rocky Hill track.

5310728

17:46:47
2.8s

Yeah, afirm, over.
5310679
17:46:51
17.9s

Yeah, all I'm thinking is we're going to put the aircraft up and light block 4 down to approximately the line, being a bit generous so that we don't smoke or burn Jacob out, but I wouldn't mind a couple of appliances on Rocky Hill track when we do that, over.
5310728
17:47:14
10.6s

Yeah, copy. Is there any chance that they can do a flyover of block 1 to see how that's looking and they might need to just drop a couple things in there if it's not fully developed over?
5310679
17:47:25

Yeah, absolutely. They can talk directly to you and check block 1 as the first job, and then they can do block 4.
5310728

Operations Firebird 503 reported incendiaries in block 3 with 15-20 metre spread, no spread to block 1, and requested to finish ignition on block 3.

1.7s

Yeah, send, Brett.
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
16:49:42
18.3s

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.
