00:00 - 00:03 | NWS reports a low-level trough has moved in |
00:04 - 00:05 | from Canada earlier than expected. |
00:05 - 00:07 | Winds have shifted and |
00:08 - 00:12 | are already very high. Eastern Montana has red flag warnings. |
00:12 - 00:15 | The County Commissioners are considering a burn ban. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Schauer will support us. He will |
00:19 - 00:21 | talk sense into the Commissioners. We will burn. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Schauer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | ... called Geaumont... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Schauer told Geaumont No-Go. |
00:34 - 00:36 | There is no way to burn as you planned. |
00:53 - 00:58 | All crew except line bosses leave the briefing. |
01:13 - 01:15 | We need wind to burn! Has he not seen |
01:15 - 01:17 | our fuels?? How will fire spread if not with wind? |
01:18 - 01:23 | Does he not want our fires to spread?? |
01:25 - 01:28 | The research is about fire! We must actually burn! |
01:29 - 01:31 | Not wiggle drip torches and call it science. |
01:31 - 01:34 | Without these fires there is nothing! |
01:34 - 01:37 | Does he think we drove from Fargo for a vacation?? |
01:37 - 01:40 | What does he know about fire anyway? |
01:40 - 01:42 | Schauer does not want the town to burn down. |
01:42 - 01:46 | Me neither! What kind of pyromaniac does he think I am? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Schauer is the Director of the Station. |
01:48 - 01:52 | A sheep nutritionist! He spends his days in barns and rumens! |
01:53 - 01:54 | I'm managing an ecosystem! |
01:56 - 01:57 | The CRP is rank. Low quality. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Without our fires palatability will stay low. |
02:00 - 02:03 | The livestock will lose condition without fire. |
02:04 - 02:08 | Who is the animal scientist now? |
02:08 - 02:13 | Who has the producer's interest in mind now?? |
02:14 - 02:16 | They just need to let me burn! |
02:17 - 02:21 | Then they will see what prescribed fire can do for them! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Just let me burn. I know that we |
02:30 - 02:34 | can control it. We have crew. We have water. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Our fire breaks are strong! |
02:41 - 02:42 | Just a test fire. |
02:43 - 02:47 | I'm not a dumbass! I don't want an escape! |
02:48 - 02:53 | If I decide it is bad I will not continue. |
02:54 - 02:56 | But that should be for me to decide, |
02:56 - 02:59 | not these panty-waisted sheep enthusiasts. |
03:00 - 03:02 | And besides I bought all these sandwiches! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Its ok, he'll still eat the sandwiches. |
03:14 - 03:16 | The treatments must be implemented. |
03:19 - 03:23 | Perhaps the NWS is wrong. The winds will stay moderate. |
03:25 - 03:26 | We will still burn. |
03:31 - 03:33 | We will wait here in town. |
03:40 - 03:46 | We will go to Susie's. We'll eat curry, drink beer, and wait. |
03:46 - 03:49 | I will not go back to Fargo without having burned. |
03:53 - 03:56 | The treatments must be implemented. |
