The way it's blowing up from what it was north, it looks like it's
00:05
intensifying as it goes south here.
00:08
I would much rather be saving fire and start announcing.
00:15
Okay, and for your information, Sheriff, our two shelters are the west shelter house and then the new building.
00:22
That's where we're going to move everybody to.
00:24
Copy.
00:36
Jasper from Colfax Fire.
00:39
Colfax Fire, go ahead.
00:43
If you have time, would you log on this call that we have made announcements and advisory for people to move to shelter at the fairgrounds, please?
00:51
Copy.
00:56
Anyone for you? Have
01:03
a share back in service.
01:04
You can stay there.
01:10
Jasper, if you could have the deputies, I see one now.
01:13
If they could just go back to the campground and make some PA announcements that we have high winds coming for us as well, and that they can move to the shower house as their shelter.
01:26
Copy.
01:34
On station.
01:42
30, we're all going to switch over to fire zone one.
01:46
Okay, Sheriff, do you want us to go to attack channel or anything, or is this one okay for everybody?
01:53
I think we're fine if we get something else, let's switch over, but I think we can keep on this.
02:00
Sounds good.
02:02
Whoever's on the north road, we had a cubber out there with some horses on the dike.
02:08
They were ordered to get them into shelter.
02:10
Can you tell if they're doing that?
02:17
That would be 32.
02:18
I passed them a little bit ago and they were still coming down the dike.
02:25
Okay, if they're going west, they should be heading back to the horse barn.
02:28
But she needs to get those horses in cover quickly.
02:35
She's headed south, picking up the ground of it.
02:47
So we told him to hit the sirens and shut this thing down for people get trapped.
02:54
Now check with your with the police chief.
02:57
I got my hands full down here right now.
03:02
Hold on, I would say we do.
03:03
Let's get that.
03:11
So we're going to go. Let's go ahead and blow the sirens and get people off the street.
03:20
Ask for Colfax chief.
03:26
Right, Colfax chief.
03:31
Chief Colfax, set storm sirens.
03:33
Please, we need to get streets evacuated here.
03:38
Copy, we'll set them off for you.
03:44
99 to 30.
03:48
Go ahead.
03:53
We're picking up hard rain.
03:55
Just give you a FYI.
04:01
Say again, Mingo.
04:08
Mingo chief, I didn't copy.
04:15
Panel from command.
04:22
Go ahead and try to reset for me.
04:27
Secure. We're getting all the LP tanks shut off as well in the food court.
