What we found out was that the area itself was all fire danger.

And so we sat there at night trying to think, okay, what's going to be the safest, best option at this point? And it's getting dark.

There's going to be a couple photos that we share of that plume.

14:48
And we started talking through, like, should we pack up right now and try to head out at this moment just to, like, get out and realize that as it got darker with all the blowdowns that Amy mentioned, it would be really hard to navigate at night, especially with fire danger.
