So is this going to be on 40 or off of on 270?
02:02
That's going to be on 270 right at 40? You can't miss it.
02:13
433 to command will be on the scene or do you need this.
02:20
Okay, come on up and just stop right next to 2810 and 1535.
02:31
Hey, Charlie.
02:36
So what's your plan for this round with this tender?
02:42
We switched over through our smooth tip.
02:45
We're going to try and blow a hole in it and just basically take all the water they got. But we got a smaller tip on there, maybe we'll do a little better with the pressure.
02:57
Okay,
03:00
also looking about after this round, when I get 3350 back,
03:05
break.
03:07
What about sending some guys on top of that piercing nozzle with an inch of three quarter and trying to punch it down through the trash?
03:16
That way we're not going through so much water.
03:20
Yeah, that sounds good.
03:23
Way outside the box, if we stamping this thing down enough,
03:29
we're cooking the tractor to this thing and dragging it close to where there's a hide-in.
03:38
It's not a bad idea.
03:42
See if I can find one of the maps closer to the highway.
03:46
Another idea was maybe having McNamara's big tow truck.
03:52
Kind of pull a forward a little bit, break,
03:57
and then pushing it over.
04:04
Yeah, anything to you.
04:06
Hey, you got 3350 is 33, 33 out of service? That's 3,000 gallons sent out there on one.
04:15
It must be, or Central County would have mentioned it.
04:20
We got St. Clair coming, they got 5,000.
04:31
Operations are on TAC 22.
04:36
We'll be switching to TAC 22.
04:49
Water comments.
04:55
Central County 3502.
04:58
Yeah, go ahead.
05:04
33333 is now back in. That crew is back in quarters so we can dispatch them instead of St.
05:09
Clair.
05:14
Um,
05:15
now let's just keep saying Claire coming. They got a lot more water.
05:21
Central Guy, Clear.
