All right, everyone put you on another brush fire.
00:04
The city's needing you near Academy Avenue Northwest.
00:15
Can you show me clear a Raybark Road and in-route to that?
00:19
If we're looking at me on time, quarter.
00:22
It's clear.
00:27
501, I'm going to be out to three.
00:32
Board Outs three, copy.
00:36
Now Mitchell, go ahead.
00:38
I'm clear, the Armour's call.
00:47
What are they needing?
00:50
A lot of the fire is moving that way, just the wind's blowing.
00:53
So it's gonna take a lot to get it cleaned up.
00:58
Probably rough trucks and just manpower.
01:03
If you can handle what you got on this side, I'll divert my truck one that way.
01:10
Oh, the brush tape.
01:17
All right, we went around the back side of the warehouse, came up the back corner,
01:21
and down the power line right away.
01:22
You'll see the back of our truck.
01:23
We'll need you to help let's just back up out of the creek a little bit, but we could use some additional land power just ranking the edges.
01:35
Command engine three.
01:39
Go ahead.
01:41
Can we divert truck one from White Street to Remindon? Yes, sir.
01:48
Have them start walking toward the power line right away with hand tools.
01:54
Just be mindful of the wind.
01:57
Truck one, you direct?
02:00
That's the permit.
02:05
2.8. Command fires mace to the creek.
02:12
Copy, what do you need?
02:18
You got some additional trucks or an engine company to get some more water.
02:21
Well, we're living right now, but just letting you know where's that got to.
02:28
One in a quarter tank, quarter tank.
02:33
All right, command.
02:34
Go ahead and give me some water to can.
02:37
Javi, we're going to get you water.
02:41
Copy.
02:44
501 to Concord, you can show me in-route.
02:49
Copy 501 in route, 1425.
02:53
Rescue 3 to commands.
02:57
Go ahead, rescue.
03:00
Chief, I know it's a big ass, but we're on the additional brush truck at the very end of Clintwood Drive as well.
03:05
I think of what happened to me.
03:08
Flintwood with an F.
03:12
Clint, C-L-I-N-T,
03:14
Wood.
03:16
I call this.
03:17
Copy.
03:23
Hand you to your command.
03:29
Go ahead.
03:31
It says engine two.
03:33
You can compare with engine three and one, but you may already be on it, but it might not be a bad candidate for the dozer.
03:41
Because with the wind, keep changing direction, it keeps firing back up on the perimeter.
03:47
Copy. Concord's called the forester.
03:51
501 to command.
03:53
This is Forest Street.
03:54
You need that dozer.
03:58
Then at the firmamenters, stand by for a location.
04:00
Engine 2, where do you want the dozer?
04:06
Standby. Engine 3, what do you got down there?
04:10
You think they can come down this power line road and get everything?
04:18
This is the best access point for a bulldozer.
04:27
You want to tell them to come in White Street and we'll walk him on that road?
04:32
Fireman.
04:34
And the Forcer can come access it from there.
04:40
White Street, I think, is the best option to me.
04:46
Copy. Commander 501, E-Direct.
04:52
Cofor 501. If you can bring the Dozer to near White Street Northwest, there's access that way.
