00:36Wilson Observatory.

00:42We have some very large air tankers coming in to work with Air Attack, and the purpose
00:47of this mission right now is we want to get some retardant out on the ridges on the west
00:53flank of our fire, where we feel pretty positive that we're going to try and hold the line,
00:58but if winds pick up and things are not in our favor, then what we're trying to do is
01:04reinforce some contingency lines out in front of the fire with retardant, so that if things
01:10get out, we'll be a step ahead of it.
