82, I just got a phone call from our spot-stander, off the trip and quick road, so that they're finding garage fires right close to that road.
00:13
That's clear.
00:20
80 was just down there when we were looking for this one and he said all those are still within the confines.
00:28
That's clear.
00:51
Base, be advised, we're going through the second gate now.
00:54
I do not see the two pawns, but I think we're seeing the fire that's on the other side.
01:00
That's clear.
01:44
Oh.
02:03
Dase, can you reach out to the caller and find out if the fire is supposed to be past the pond or not? At this time, I can't find a fire break that goes on the back side, but we do have fire that's on the other side of the pond now.
02:16
That's close, hello.
03:04
8.5.
03:16
85,
03:19
go ahead.
03:23
So the land management gentleman stated that the road the children went on was the fire break road.
03:29
There is not a power break back there is jump the lawn.
03:35
That's cool base.
03:36
It's going to be north of that pond that we're at.
03:39
And it's going to be slow moving at this time.
03:44
We do have approximately a 5 to 10 mile hour ground wind pushing due north,
03:49
which is going to drive the fire.
03:51
It is heavy fuel in the area.
03:53
At this time, I would go ahead and request the Forestry Service Park Making Location.
04:00
That's clear.
04:01
The land management gentleman has already called there on the list.
04:08
Received 82 to 55.
04:10
At this time we're probably going to need a tanker and the other brush truck.
04:15
We're going to have to come up with a plan though as far as hitting it.
04:24
Yeah, 80.
04:26
82, I'm back here.
04:28
Get y'all back up in here.
04:31
I'm behind the head over here.
04:38
Here's what you said we've got outside of the containment building.
04:59
59 and 55.
05:02
He's 82,
05:08
go ahead, 5-5.
05:09
Oh this is 5-9, I'm trying to reach 5-5.
05:14
He's 30 right here next to me, go ahead.
05:18
Oh, I was going to see what he, he was at the station, he's not, he's out there with you.
05:24
Yes, there, he was P-O-V, and then he rode in on Brush 1 with me in Oh, 80.
05:29
All right, copy, I'll roll the brush truck, or you want to take for which one?
05:36
At this time, I would say roll the brush truck.
05:38
Pagney, can you go ahead and get another tone for our station,
05:41
requesting tankers and manpower?
05:44
Okay.
05:53
Short-fled, see, hold it.
05:57
Good.
06:09
...you saw a lot of the fire.
06:11
You move on seeing off of Trouble Creek is 3152 and requesting additional units and gangers.
