00:19That's burning backwards, it's going to hit this brake.

00:23This fire break keeps stopping as it was intended to.

00:27But yeah, all the mugs are going out there and it's coming back to it there.

00:33There's a lot of fire crews here and extra measures now.

00:37We've got a 360 digger out there and a bulldozer behind that.
