It's a controlled burn . And 26 00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:00,724 then we'll get some guys to put on 27 00:01:00,724 --> 00:01:02,947 their gear and go and put it out . Once 28 00:01:02,947 --> 00:01:04,669 we do then we use our standard 29 00:01:04,669 --> 00:01:07,090 operating procedures and guidelines to 30 00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:09,260 go in and use our tactics techniques 31 00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:11,550 and procedures to safely and 32 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:14,410 effectively extinguish the fire .
