Rush one, headquarters.
00:03
Rush one.
00:04
We will be on the scene, turn up 8247 command.
00:08
Stand by for status.
00:11
Turn for us.
00:13
Time for.
00:15
Thank you, uh,
00:19
Jimmy, Rout.
00:29
It's several acres on fire, large round airbills in the area.
00:34
We'll be, uh, it's about a quarter-mile north of 106 on 1847.
00:46
Thank you, 3, clear.
00:50
There is some heavy brush if we can stop, but before that it would be good.
01:01
We're going to go to the west end of the fire and try and cut it off.
01:15
About 10 acres by now.
01:20
Brush two, do you have a partner?
01:23
Negative.
01:24
Okay, we'll just wait at the front gate and get a partner before you come in here.
01:29
Or I'll find Tanker's 1.
01:30
I'm not sure how many people are on that one.
01:36
Rush 2, tie in with Tanker 1.
01:42
Take-O-1, the fire's moving west and north, and there's a fence line right at the north side, so we may need to put a second truck on the north side.
02:06
302, do you want Ron to jump on with me or do you want me to get on the brush truck with Ron?
02:10
Uh,
02:12
put Tinker 1 in there.
02:15
Clear.
02:17
Yeah, Taker 1 probably needs to go north than we're aware of that and get on the other side of that makes sense.
02:25
Press 2, you're 20.
02:38
Tanker, Juan, how far out are you?
02:45
Maybe about five minutes, I think.
02:48
I'm already north of 5'10.
02:49
I can see the smoke.
02:50
I'm here getting to where all these windmills are.
02:53
Okay, is there anybody ahead of you?
02:57
Tanker 3.
03:00
Clear.
03:08
Brush 2 is your location?
03:14
2 is about 3 or 5 minutes out?
03:28
Clear.
03:37
Okay, if Tanker 1 is going to take the north side when we can get a crew on Brush 2, they need to come in where we're at and mop up behind us.
03:45
I see a couple spots that are reigniting behind us.
03:50
And tanker three or tanker two, somebody's going to need to set up a water supply, we're at half a tank on brush one already.
04:06
Arlington truck.
04:12
You said Arlington?
04:14
I couldn't make it out there up ahead of me.
04:16
They just turn it on to San Fernando.
04:27
We're almost to the west end of the fire and then we'll turn back and head east.
04:31
The fire moving north is not moving very quick for some reason.
04:34
It's moving west pretty rapidly.
04:39
Okay,
04:42
go on. We just passed 106.
04:52
Brush 2 is headed north of 106 on 1847, so I'm about a minute behind you, Tanker.
05:02
Copy that. I'm going to stand by for you here at the entrance.
05:05
Jump on the front bucket as soon as you get here, the brush 2 there on the side.
05:10
Copy that.
05:19
Tanker 3 on seat.
05:20
Tanker 3, tanker 1.
05:22
You can jump in where I pulled in at.
05:27
Got me.
05:35
Tanker 1 will be on seat.
05:38
Temper.
05:46
There's your two, there's a one that's set up on the north side.
05:52
There's a little Colichiro that cuts in here.
05:55
We're on the west end now.
05:57
A little less than half a tag.
05:58
We'll see if we can stop this.
06:00
If I need to brush two out here first and then move them back to my thought.
06:03
If it's moving into that next field, they'll go north.
06:08
Okay, we're gonna have, I'm gonna have them leave brush two with me, a tanker three.
06:13
Okay, clear, thank you.
06:15
The Rhonda has a truck working over here on the, uh,
06:20
they're over here on the north side.
06:22
Nobody needs to come to the west end, probably first and work their way back to east because the fire is moving west pretty rapidly.
06:36
Tanker one cut in over here, get in front of you guys on this road.
06:44
Rush two, come up here with me.
06:51
I don't know where you are.
06:53
I'm on Tanker 3, drive straight ahead.
07:03
I'm in front of you or back here?
07:13
Hey Mike, is there a truck that can get here to the west end pretty quick? We're almost at the head of the fire, but we're almost out of water too.
