How do you set up the triangle to solve?

Randy and Sandy are in two fire lookout towers located 3 miles apart on a line running east-west. A campfire is spotted at a bearing of 34◦ from the western tower and 333◦ from the other. Sandy is dispatched immediately from the tower nearest the fire to put it out. If she travels at a rate of 3 miles per hour, how many minutes will it take her to get to the fire?
