“So that also brings an interesting point. Emergency services. I think of our, for example, our partnership with the ESD, Pflugerville Fire Department, and sensitive wildfire, wildlife areas right there as well.

How does that work?”

It's already happening in DFW. It's gonna be happening here in Austin in the next several months. We're looking at technology. Yeah, I mean, what we can do, we gotta make sure it's safe.

How, you know, and we have worked with our entities, how does this, but how does this play out for when it's not Stacey and other folks. It's other folks who are conducting and doing the work.
