Zero one, is it going to be that same property the last time that we had multiple fires at?
00:05
Nah, it doesn't look like it.
00:06
It's a different entrance altogether.
00:08
The fire is about three quarters of a mile west of Old Port Isabel Road.
00:16
Okay, are we taking the same turn by that gray barn that we did last time to get back?
00:22
No, you're going on Old Port Isabel Road, just going straight north.
00:27
Don't take any.
00:28
Turn until you get to the Brownsville engines, I think.
00:33
But we're just getting here, so give us a minute.
00:36
Clear.
00:46
Okay,
00:51
we made contact with the 1st engine.
00:54
The entrance is about three quarters of a mile north of the two fire trucks that are set up for water supply.
01:00
There's a white Toyota pickup marking the road in.
01:03
You can see the fire, can't miss it.
01:05
So once you turn left, you go straight to the fire.
01:10
Thanks, officer.
01:14
Brush three, are you by yourself?
01:21
Go for brush three.
01:23
How many people are on brush three?
01:26
Just two, myself, (name withheld), and (name withheld).
01:30
Okay, clear.
01:33
So just for confirmation, to be down Old Port Isabel Road, all 05:11 .
01:40
Yes, that's correct.
01:43
That one.
01:52
Which tankers are en route?
01:55
Tanker one, we're here on Port Isabel,
01:58
and tanker two was en route as well.
02:02
Okay, tanker two, we're probably going to need to get as close to the fire as we can, but the road is really bad.
02:09
You can drive it, but tanker two is going to need to take it real slow to not twist that truck around.
02:22
301, you got one in the station.
02:28
If you don't mind standing by there for a little while until we see what we got out here.
02:43
Okay, we made contact with their assistant chief.
02:46
He's out by the gate by their white Toyota.
02:49
It looks like they plowed a fire line through here at some point, so it's a rough but drivable.
02:59
Tanker one clear.
03:01
We're approaching the Brownsville engine.
03:05
I think tanker two probably ought to stay on the road.
03:08
Who's driving tanker two?
03:12
Tanker two here is Brownsville Victor.
03:16
And to stay on, probably stay on the road.
03:18
This Brownsville is pretty rough.
03:23
Tanker one, if there's only two beyond board, why don't you wait on tanker two and get one of them to hop on with you?
03:33
Tanker two, what's your location?
03:39
Go for tanker two.
03:49
Tanker one to tanker two, what's your location?
03:52
We're just going into (number withheld) road.
03:58
Clear.
03:59
Are you clear on that 301? We're gonna have to wait a little while for him.
04:02
If you want us to stand by.
04:05
Tanker two clear.
04:10
That fire line says they think they've got the head of the fire stopped, but there's still about a 300 yard fire line on the north and south sides.
04:29
Tanker one clear.
04:31
We'll be standing by at the gate waiting for tanker two.
04:42
This is two brush one.
04:51
This is two brush one.
05:00
And go to brush one's on scene.
05:02
We're sending up Brownsville command.
05:05
10-4, sir. I'm getting another call in reference to having visual of flames off of Old Port Isabel Road, advising they're at the Vincent shooting range.
05:15
Is this going to be the same fire or a different one?
05:18
Headquarters, it's probably the same fire.
05:20
The flames are visible from Highway 100.
05:24
10-4, sir. I'll advise.
05:25
Thank you.
05:29
Tanker 1, we made a brush truck head down.
05:34
We're gonna go to the head of the fire and they ran out of water.
05:36
They want to stop the fire before it travels into the next pasture.
05:43
301, can you repeat the traffic? You're not coming through.
05:48
We're going to the head of the fire to try and stop it from jumping into the next pasture.
05:55
Clear, do you still want us to wait for tanker two then?
05:58
Well, we're going to need another truck out here pretty quick to stop the head of the fire before everybody else runs out of water.
06:08
No, I mean just come out here, but we'll figure it out when he gets here.
06:14
Just head on out here.
06:16
Clear.
06:19
Tanker two, when you guys get over here,
06:22
go past the Brownsville engines.
06:24
There should be a white Toyota way over there, past those Brownsville engines.
06:29
And just stand by there at the main entrance.
06:32
Tanker two, clear.
06:41
Go for brush one.
