Gary Ott any dozers?

Gary Ott
Merrie Stewart I would be able to see that. Seems there has been a reduction in the smoke.

Gary Ott
Belay my last. I think they were water drop planes.

Gary Ott most were, but looks like they put some retardant down.

Merrie Stewart I heard gossip about dozers. The smoke plume is much reduced

Gary Ott
Ronda Bradeen it's on the lower flanks that lead up to Pole Pick Mt. Just got off the phone with him. The helicopters are making drops that I see on fire that must be just out of my sight.
