Large slash pile, 1,000-hour fuel,
00:55
pretty deep-speeded fire in it in this backyard.
01:00
We've already put a whole tank of water on it and we still have active fire.
01:05
I would suggest some heavy equipment to move this around and also we need to tone out a tender for water supplier.
01:13
Close with hydrants about 350 feet or we can make a long supply line.
01:24
(number withheld)
01:28
We can't be hard to move around we could try to drown it and see how that works after a while but it's big rounds and uh
01:46
Like tipped over trees with big root balls and stuff like that.
01:50
I don't have to show you when you get here.
01:56
Got me.
02:02
Which one you can add me to do that's cool.
02:07
I'm gonna be there.
02:14
from 921.
02:16
Yes, nice.
02:21
Why don't we tone out a tender response?
02:25
We'll see if we can get a response out of them and then go from there.
02:31
Here, just pick up the time.
02:37
Yeah, just the closest point.
02:44
Fire call. Tender 93-2-102-15 North College Road, Channel North Primary, Possible Illegal Bird.

03:17
Burn 91.
03:19
Okay.
03:23
Just got page for the tender on that.
03:26
The Wiggle Burns up for the tower.
03:31
Everyone.
03:34
Go ahead.
03:37
Yeah, I would see if we could get a volunteer water tent response.
03:44
Copy that.
03:48
921 from 99.
03:52
Go ahead.
03:56
We are, we're down about quarter tank water.
03:59
This thing's pretty deep-speeded.
04:00
We're conserving now to keep it away from any power lines.
04:05
Instead of waiting for tender response, I suggest maybe adding in Engine 92, having them lay its supply line into us.
04:13
Worstall is 300,
04:16
350 feet away from the nearest hydrant.
04:17
This is going to be.
04:20
We're not going to be able to hand jack that.
04:22
I think we're just going to have to go with the supply line here.
04:28
Got, yeah, I'm almost on scene here, so,
04:32
yeah,
04:34
I was kind of thinking that we could take your suggestion and go with the water tender, but if you guys think you can lay in to it,
04:41
is your concern right now that there's an exposure so you can't go and fill up, is that what your concern is?
04:53
This show cautionary, says the history of gain member,
04:59
and the original charges of salt in the third degree, shall I confirm?
05:03
Do for a piece of takes?
05:05
Copy one, 18.
05:10
The exposures, there's some communication line.
05:15
Close the fence is probably about 15 feet away.
