On that number five that's running, do you have a road access at the end?
00:06
Negative. Negative.
00:07
It goes down into a field.
00:14
That's why I'm asking because we, on the drone, we're showing fire on that side.
00:18
I don't know if it's going to go have any danger anywhere else.
00:22
It feels fine, but there ain't a way to get to it.
00:27
I think I'm going to send a tanker down towards just probably Bayshore or like 28th and Broadway or something to try to get back there so we can get some booster trucks.
00:39
I've got fire starting on that other side of the creek.
00:45
Once you get past the Killing Towers over there,
00:48
if it gets over there, then you've got another fire that's contained over from there to 27th Street.
00:54
Is that correct?
00:56
That's correct.
01:00
Bush and Command,
01:02
201.
01:04
Go ahead.
01:07
Is there a way to get where that cell phone tower is? Because between the boat area around Humber 5 and that cell phone tower, that's all that's burning now.
01:25
You can press 50 to brush our command.
01:29
Chris.
01:31
Where at the sewer treatment plant? Sure enough, do you need us to divert and go someplace?
01:38
Yeah, Ken, I think the only way to get to this one is going to be off of Bayshore where that cell phone tower is.
01:46
Is the kind of the only landmark I can kind of tell you how to get to you?
01:53
We can come up with.
01:59
101.
02:07
Rush command says turning on 101.
02:14
107, 104. 107, 104.
02:20
7-104. 7-104.
02:27
On 107.
02:30
Go ahead.
02:33
Is there a road access from that water tower back in where these towers are?
02:42
I am unsure of what you're happening.
02:46
That communication tower, is there a road back there so we get back here?
02:53
I would assume so.
02:59
101. We evacuated that area.
03:02
The wind shifted on us,
03:04
putting a lot of smoke in our area.
03:07
We kind of had a withdraw from that site.
03:11
So I'm asking, with that communication tower, is there a road that comes back in here? So, because that fire is going to be in that field now from number five to Bayshore?
03:24
It's clear there is a little pathway, I wouldn't call it a roadway, but it's more of a pathway that dips down and crosses that creek.
03:37
James, looking on the map,
03:39
looks like 28th and Broadway gets you to that cell phone tower,
03:43
and then you can get into the field after that.
03:51
Brass command to Galvest and Brush 7.
03:57
Dallas to Brush 7.
04:02
Go over to make your way out and go over to 5201's location.
04:10
I guess where all the brush trucks are going to need to report.
04:18
What is 5201's location?
04:24
Keith, where do you want Gavis and Brush 7 to come over on your side?
04:32
It was near Bayshore with a big two-story house before the canal, but I spoke with the gentleman there,
04:41
and I have League City Booster 1 with me.
04:45
We're going to 27th to Broadway, and he said take Broadway all the way dead end, and it should give us a path to where that cell tower is at.
04:54
You're saying that's where the brush fire is at.
04:59
Yeah, that's a couple hundred yards from that cell phone tower.
05:02
Back towards number five.
05:04
All right, we're going to scout it, and if there's a way in, then I'll let you know.
05:14

On engine three to Tech City Brushfield.
06:03
Good.
06:11
We're going to be working away to Edgewater over there to Misty Lane where the fire jump to canal.
06:18
We're going to go check out that back area to see if you're able to come in through the Misty Lane from the Edgewater subdivision.
06:27
We're going to need your drone assistance as well.
06:37
Joe, we've got plenty of trucks over there now.
06:44
Okay, Tim 14.
06:46
Yeah, that's right where the fire jumps right across the canal and it's pretty much leveled up with the Misty Lane right there.
06:58
We got drone on it also.
07:02
The mark was 2-5201.
07:04
You got an access down there or do we need to go down to Broadway?
