Okay,
00:01
I'm going to have your brush truck go down to Skeels Road on the rail trail and then head back north.
00:06
You'll run into our other brush truck in there too.
00:10
Sounds like it's made it to the rail trail, so we're going to need a few extra manpower there.
00:14
The other truck can come right to the scene.
00:16
Copy that. We do have stations standby as well if you need it.
00:21
I think we'll be okay once we just get it contained.
00:26
261's clear going to the scene.
00:29
703-701.
00:34
703, 701.
00:38
Go ahead.
00:43
You could probably have Shelby come in off of Roosevelt and come down the rail trail too, because they're coming from the north.
00:50
Yeah,
00:55
I think they're already past that if you're coming, so they're both going to meet you there, and I'm also sending you a firefighter Rodriguez.
01:01
He's going to beat you back there, too.
01:04
Caring that. Thank you.
01:08
Sorry, firefighter Rodriguez is going to meet you.
01:10
I told him to make contact with you,
01:12
so he's coming back to you and then we'll have those two brush trucks meet you on the rail trail.
01:17
Turn that, two brush trucks and firefighter Rodriguez.
01:25
Between you and 709, if you guys can let me know when the fire is contained.
01:33
Okay, clear on that.
01:34
We've got it stopped here.
01:36
I don't, wherever 709 is at,
01:41
he can let you know.
01:42
But we've got it stopped here to the rail trail, but we're going to need water for logs.
01:48
Clear on that.
01:50
Break 709, 7.01.
01:53
Go ahead.
01:55
Do you need any more personnel at your location?
01:58
Central 273 is unseen.
02:03
Clear.
02:05
We should be set.
02:06
We got two extra with me.
02:09
We're mostly contained.
02:12
Central 261 is unseen.
02:14
Clear.
02:15
Okay. Get it side by side.
02:17
Get back to you.
02:20
It'd be a real tight spot, but probably not.
02:25
Okay.
02:26
I'm going to send you a couple more on foot.
02:29
7.6, 701.
02:32
What? A couple of Indian packs would be great.
02:36
Repeat that?
02:40
A couple of Indian packs out here would be great.
02:45
Okay.
