Operations, got fire intensity, north of the end of the Besser Blocks, that might be where you're seeing that activity, but it's about to bang into previously burnt ground, like all other areas in Block 1, so I don't see anything risking your control line.

Excellent, thank you very much for that. I'll start making my way back up the hill. Fire, we'll see you later.

Yeah, receiving send.
5310679
18:29:51 4.4s
Yeah, the ignition point they're putting in now, make that the last one, over.
5310728
18:29:59 3.4s
Yeah, awesome. Thanks a lot.
5310679
18:30:04 5.2s
Yeah, I don't need it any closer to the creek than that, so you're done, all done, over.
5310728

Currently got the incident on block 4 building, 2 to 3 metre flame heights at the head, flanking out nicely, slowly starting to junction together, it looks like it's cleaning out from that track on your northern boundary down slope really nicely, no risks you can track on Rocky Hill track, I think with the smoke in the gully it's probably all we're having to do for you at this stage.
5310679
18:30:51 6.0s
Yeah, roger, I thought you'd be done too, so thanks for your help and we'll catch you back at work.
Firebird 503
18:30:59 14.2s
No worries, thanks for that, and thanks for getting this one done, looks like you will get a result, I was worried about some unburnt bits, but it certainly does look like it's flanking out nicely in the core there, so yeah, should be a good result.
5310679
18:31:14 11.1s
Yeah, roger, if you're still around, can you just loop back around over Centertrack, we've just got a bit of a junction zone there, I just want to make sure that it's not doing anything it shouldn't, over.
Firebird 503
18:31:26 8.9s
Yeah, copy that. We do have to fly over black and low so we can spool out the machine. Are you saying you're getting a junction zone shortly?
5310679
18:31:36 5.8s
We've just had a bit of higher intensity stuff. I just want to check to make sure that nothing's spotted over.
5310679
18:31:58 8.2s
Yeah, you can see there's a reasonable chunk of fire there. I just want to make sure, I guess it's, no, I can't tell from here whether it's anywhere near centre track.

Roger that. We will go grab something to eat and then touch base if you need us after that.
