Down toward Travis. East or West. Turn to the east where they connected to the hydrant. I think that works. 132, do you want me to notify AES? Yes. Engine says either direction will be good either from the east or west. Engine 1 is out of water. If we could have a truck lay a line possibly from the east, directly to the ladder, that would help because our other plugs don't look the greatest. Come here, when I'm rolling. This tige is not going to do us any good, really. We need another one. 104, engine 7. Ladder 1, engine 1, engine 1, affinity water. Agent 1, driver. We're ready for a fire on discharge 3 for this fire fire. Ladder 1, I would retract some. You're directly over that for you. Ladder Tip is needing to be adjusted. Command Liner 7 is on seat at 18. It was from the west. 10th line 7, go ahead and come on in. We'll see here for some manpower. Engine 1 driver. We're ready for water on discharge 3. Command, this is engine 7 to flow at 17. It's happened to be a low-flow hydrant. I don't know if we have any other options to bring it in. We can go to the crew's neighborhood and try to find another plug. This whole area is the one they're about to redo the whole water system due to all of them being low flow. All right, that's a good copy. We will be bringing this hydrant in. Okay, sorry. 10-4[1]. Command, at this time, we've only got enough pressure for the stick, we don't have enough pressure to add any water to the lines on the ground. 10-4, let's, well maybe just watch the exposure to the east and just do what to do with it. Good copy. Dispatch, where you clear, the APD, Indian 76, North East, Northwest 17th, and Liskums. 10-4. Command, this engine, engine 8, we finished water supply. I've got a couple of my guys being it's time to go around and watch the east exposure with tics. We do have a lot of ember watch falling down. Gen 4 and jane, I'll sign you East Division. They smash, Dioch traffic for station one. Let's bring it in to Ladder 1. Engine 11 is on the same, only 18. Checking this, Hydra. 10-4-11. In-4-11. Engine 1, driver. Engine 8, driver, sir. Engine and driver, ladder. If y'all can move your truck out, worry about bringing out forward right through there. We have a low flow at 18th and Hong as well. 10-4, we just use the two we have. If you want to just come on in, just, I'm going to find either the North Division just to make sure no embers or anything go in that direction. Charlie, crew on Charlie's side. Be prepared to get water again. We're going to shut down the ladder, give you water while we're hooking the ladder up to the other plug. Agent 7 Hosen, go ahead and charge that hydrant. Charlie's cleared. Command, Ladder 7. Go ahead, Ladder 7. We're going to be posted up on the house on the west side. We got some embers coming over. I ought to sign your West Division. Hook that plug up to ladder one. Ladder One's ready for water. Engine 7, Hosen, go ahead and charge that line. Two first charge. The 18th and Travis. Sorry, 17th and Travis. Good. Good. Sixth in Washington. At this you can tell him, caller advised, he was told by officers earlier to contact dispatch when he was ready to go to intake. Um, clear? Four, five, four. Five, four. That's one quick. Command, do you want an additional PD unit at Northwest 17th? Let's come or have them move? May go ahead and get us one more just in case we need them somewhere else. I'll be here.
