I'm responding to 113, do you have anybody else coming to this station?
01:24
Gamble Fuehler, TAC3.
01:34
Yeah, Dan was gonna see you know, I could have one put me up there, I got Gregory as well.
01:42
So I was gonna have one jump in with a chance that you can go with you,
01:47
and I can have Gregory maybe bring out the rush up or something.
01:55
Go ahead, Chris.
01:58
Yeah, I just got off the tone with SWEC.
02:01
POMS with air pilots and ships are less than an hour, so they decline the order,
02:10
so no air support.
02:17
Devin County said they got a hold of a rotor or something too they were trying to get and no pilots available so I think our air supports out of the questions for now.
02:28
I've got Devon coming in with 54 from the Seek Lakes side and I'm trying to get hold of somebody at Station 1 at a moment to see if we can set up a draft on our side.
02:39
I think Randy Penrose is the station if I didn't remember right.
02:44
462.
02:46
Go ahead, 462.
02:49
Coming down Seaplegs Road, we're heading towards Ocello. We just left the gravel and got on the pavement.
02:56
Where do we go from here?
03:00
You're headed towards Elfellow, you said, and I don't know where you're at where you're at. Where's the gravel on pavement?
03:17
440. 440. 440, go ahead.
03:24
Did you say earlier you already had somebody drafted on your side for filling trucks?
03:30
First (number withheld) route.
03:32
Forward.
03:34
Negative, the Brian Pompong, 465 won't engage.
03:40
Crush 566, 1740.
03:45
Does Adams County have some selling trucks?
03:48
If you do, I'm going to turn 462 around and bring it back over our outside because we don't have anything over here yet.
03:55
40 will be riding with this unit.
03:58
I have now made a face-to-face with Ares.
04:01
4651, you were covered.
04:03
64 he will be riding with his unit. 651, 343.
04:07
Great, and you've got to call on the strong phone again.
04:12
457 to Campbell.
04:13
He's stack three.
04:16
457. 457.
04:19
I talk to Adam's five.
04:23
They want to know when we're empty on our six-bite seats, can we still cross the bridge?
04:33
If you're empty,
04:35
I think we're okay.
04:37
But have they got things under control over there?
04:44
Okay, because they asked me to call you and ask you if we have permission across the bridge if we're empty.
04:58
Correct.
04:59
Yes, if you're empty, I don't have a problem with that. But if anybody,
05:03
or if you guys have the handle on it over there before you'll abandon them.
05:06
Because outside is not moving too quick.
05:13
440 DeLuizure, turn around, go back. I think that's five might have a draft set up.
05:20
Okay.
05:26
404, 405, on attack.
05:31
Just a second, John.
05:38
Hey, Chris, just for my situational awareness, has the fire jumped the road that we're coming in on, or is it on the west side of it?
05:53
Max, this is Tinder 113, and we'll be responding with 2. Do you have an operating frequency?
06:00
113 received, and standby on the operating frequency.
06:07
405 to 504.
06:10
Medic 1 is in service returning.
06:14
5.4, go ahead.
06:16
Medic 1-724.
06:23
I'm coming in in brush 450 and Devon's behind me in 54.
06:29
Do you want me to go back and get 464 and bring it out as a draft truck on this end, on the north end?
06:38
Hey John, you're going to have to repeat your traffic.
06:43
Mac 10-0113.
06:45
Go ahead, Mac.
06:47
Didn't copy that at all.
06:49
That's how you're not to the...
06:51
Black Sea Blake's Fire.
06:53
All right, Ports the Forward and Talk to you.
06:59
That's correct.
07:02
Rishi, working frequency Eastak 3.
07:06
Copy, Dr. Thank you.
07:09
Hey, Chris, this is John, and I'm in 450. You want me to go get 464 bringing in as a draft on this end, on the north end?
07:17
Not a problem, essentially, please.
07:19
That'd be great, John, if you're...
07:23
Mac, Tender, 1129.
07:26
1129, go ahead.
07:33
1-2-9 and grasp 1014 will be en route to the mutual aid with grant 4.
07:41
Closer, 62's already just about to Othello from what I could get out of him.
07:47
Out of the county, our other truck 65, supposedly Scott says, is not engaging the pump.
07:53
So they're going to get a gas motor set up over there for drafting on their end, which they say will probably keep up for what they got for now.
08:01
But yeah, we need something on our side.
08:03
I've got a grant five, six bikes showing up right at the moment.
08:08
Richard 17, please.
08:11
Okay, 462 is on the south side.
08:15
Yeah, I've had a hard time getting the hold of him, but it sounds like he went toward Bill Sello.
08:21
He's not quite there yet, but anyway,
08:26
yours would be faster.
08:29
Okay, I'm just past Warden Lake. I'll head back to Station 4 and get 464.
08:36
Receive, thank you.
