We'll call this Crooked Creek Gas Break Command.

It's a fairly isolated area.
00:09
It's probably a couple hundred yards off of 10 at Road 50 and probably a quarter mile from Young Life buildings.
00:17
Pretty good crater.
00:19
And we've been talking to the XL folks are responding, so we'll get her figured out.
00:27
Copy 16 to join.
00:31
Full for your 10-07.
00:37
10-0-7. 10-0-7. I'll be on duty. Good afternoon.
00:49
Good afternoon. Good afternoon, 16 and 52.
00:56
44. What's your location?
00:59
We're staged with 61 and medic 2 on county road 50 at the entrance of Young Life.
01:11
Okay, that sounds good. 465, you're still at 517 and 5.
01:23
That is correct.
01:25
465.
01:29
Okay.
01:31
Who else I got out there?
01:44
... command 461. You also have Medic 2 stage 50 at the entrance to young life.
01:54
Okay, and Josh, the Excel pack went on up and he rode 50.
02:00
That is correct.
02:07
Okay, I cannot see him at the moment, so I guess he hasn't either gone up that far or he's hanging back.
02:20
Yeah, I did talk to him. He said he's gone up to investigate and he will let us know.
02:28
Yeah, the break is in that meadow between 10-050 and the, oh,
02:38
the private dwelling that's uphill a little bit off to the west from the main camp, which I don't think we have any exposure issues at this point.
02:50
It should be no ignition sources down there. So what the only we might do is get down the valley.
02:57
44, what do you have for your gas detection? Do you have your sniffers on board?
03:09
Yes, you think you have a four gas. He's dip pulling it out now.
03:13
And we did smell gas in the valley.
03:17
There are 50 coming up.
03:21
Okay,
03:22
if they want,
03:24
they can just check at the creek crossing down there, that'd be the low point. If it did anything, that's where it would go.
03:32
We're just keeping an eye on the wind and all.
03:35
It should be far enough away from anything. Most of the gas should go on up and dissipate and not follow it down.
03:49
44 copies, we'll head down to the creek crossing and check. We do have four gas negative on the sniffer.
03:58
Okay, I mean it might try to drift down that way, but it's mostly blown straight up, so I think it'll mostly go up and dissipate.
