We'll have 4 tomorrow. Along with the water scooping aircraft, have been building line ahead of 6 dozers that are pushing line heading out to the, towards the Tanana River. We're looking for a good spot out here where the fuel changes to be able to tie that into and keep that also from coming to the west, circling back around, and again threatening the highway and the back end of Tok. Weather's been in our favor for that here the last couple of days with the wind coming out of the south and pushing the fire towards the the river. We did see this morning, um, a little bit of an east wind, uh, that did push a lot of smoke down the highway and into Tanacross.
