Yeah, Mr. Now,
02:51
where do you want, where are you set up a command post?
02:56
We are setting it up.
02:58
We moved it from Michael's Pizza to the road, access road off of Smith Street.
03:04
It's marked by engine one.
03:06
I have a drone come in.
03:07
We have about three to five acres burning back here in the middle of the RV preserve.
03:11
It's not very accessible with a breast track.
03:15
We're trying to get a game plan in place on how we're going to handle it.
03:19
It's fairly large.
03:24
I'll be there in about three minutes.
03:28
Engine 104.
03:35
Where are you located?
03:40
We're following seven back that trail off the power lines there.
03:47
Clear. Truck 7, you're going to have to fall behind the district.
03:53
We're going to probably start stretching our booster line or our forster lines.
04:00
We're going to move the district forward.
04:07
Engine 4, I'm going to need you to back in this trail as far as you physically can, and we're probably going to lay a line out to engine 1.
04:22
Central Reporter.
04:28
Be given a no subject a courtesy transport to an address on Garfield Street.

At this point, I don't believe, though.
04:46
We're going to try to get a water supply set up.
04:48
We're going to start having to move some hose.
04:54
Important.
04:59
Command Central Fire.
05:03
Go ahead.
05:05
We got two unseen.
05:07
What do you need?
05:10
I'm going to need manpower.
05:13
If they want to bring engine free,
05:15
we're really going to need manpower and not.
05:17
Whatever shovels and ranks brews we can get from the station would be great.
05:25
Clear will let up Indian 3 and be on our way soon.
05:31
Car 109 to command, if you come on back this trail to the substation and get it flawed, he's got the drone up.
05:43
Clear, car 109 is on C.
05:46
419.
05:51
Engine 101, can you back down the trail?
05:56
Almost,
05:57
you can probably drive back to the substation, but then you're going to have to back in down the paint trail as far as you can.
06:03
We're going to need some supplies off your truck.
06:08
Engine one's clear.
06:12
car 109 to command.
06:13
When you get eyes on it, I got two firefighters on the leading edge of the fire towards Michael's FIFA.
06:19
I think I know about how big it is.
06:21
I'm just trying to figure out where to get resources too.
06:24
If you can help facilitate that, that would be great.
06:29
Claire, I'm out with L-42 right now.
06:34
Dispatch, Tanger 201's on C.
06:37
Two on.
06:42
Tanker 201 to command.
06:48
Go ahead for command.
06:50
Do you have an area where you want this tanker staged at?
06:54
If you could follow the engine one back this trail to the substation and you could stage out the substation, that would be great.
07:03
I'll give you an assignment in a moment.
07:07
Clear.
07:10
This is one's forking my hand.
07:13
Go ahead.
07:16
Do you know a proximity of hydrants from this substation that we're operating from? Do you know about where they'd be located?
07:27
Okay,
07:30
bye.
07:32
County, brush 46, responding.
07:34
Rescue 106, brush 46.
07:38
Go ahead. For Trans.
07:42
You at the substation back off of Smith Street, is that where you're referring to?
07:49
That would be affirmative.
07:52
There's a pigerent.
07:53
Should be due west of that substation.
07:58
There's a pump house there at the end of that long lane office mystery.
08:05
Affirmative, I see it now.
08:06
Thank you.
08:12
Man, we got a hydrant right here by L-42.
08:20
One-on-one.
08:23
Go ahead.
08:25
We've got the leading edge to the north.
08:28
It runs along the ridgeline where we originally found it.
08:32
And then to the north, about another hundred yards, I think.
