40K3 has cleared the area; 1/4 acre ground fuels; Barton Creek; coordinates 34 08.596 116 52.492; no open flame; size is per the 40K unit; excellent area for rappel if H534 is capable of that today; their crew can size it up; rather not use tankers if we can get away with it; cancel tankers and use helitanker; that's a good call; going to be heavy mop up; they'll keep us from getting uphill on us; think the rotar wing will do us good
