We made our way back to the unit directly on the opposite side of the spin, so we don't see any image back here.
00:07
It doesn't appear to be any brush touching any of the drops or the high control water.
00:17
Yeah,
00:18
I can see your light, that's the area that they were reporting up in that Redwood tree.
00:27
She back here, but there are some tree copies.
00:44
We'll go check the adjacent on left and right side.
00:47
on left and right side.
00:52
Okay,
00:54
okay.
00:57
51 Rolls in IC.
01:00
Go ahead.
01:03
Can you reach out this data and make sure there's nobody showing any power that's off, any power outage?
01:11
Copy.
01:17
What?
01:18
Yeah, the pricing negative on the power outages.
01:25
Power outages different.
01:28
Okay.
01:30
Copy. And further ETA on utilities again, please?
01:38
Go ahead.
01:43
The backyard near 500, which is also in the area where they had stated it was dropping embers, is also clear, you know, apparent signs of fire at any point.
01:57
I'll copy that. Once you come back to my suburban and we'll do a face-to-face, I'm prepared to clear all units except for you, but we'll discuss it.
02:16
505 and 64 we made our way back to the Delta Charlie exposure on the opposite side of the street and it also on every side here.
02:40
Just confirming you're all clear on the trees back there, you're a little broken.
02:51
That's affirmative.
02:53
We've been away to the opposite side,
02:55
the Delta Charlie corner, and both are clear.
03:00
Engine 65 and 64.
03:04
Go to 65.
03:07
We still don't see any embers, but we do see a spot where there's, I think there's a drop going through, some pretty... think Francis back here to know where it came from.
03:21
If you want to make your way back out front, you can just give me a report face-to-face, that's fine.
03:28
Copy, let me go with that crime.
03:34
Engine 64, engine 65.
03:39
Sure, 664.
03:43
Does that Charlie Delta exposure have an actual power pole in that yard or is the yard next door?
03:55
negative. It's in between two power poles.
03:59
I'm highlighting one of them right now.
04:02
I can't see the numbers for that one, but the other one is 7-790, the transformer on that one.
04:17
And you're talking about the pole to the west of the incident?
04:24
A firm.
04:26
The two, to the pole, to the east,
04:30
and then the west, those are the two that straddle this property back there.
04:36
Six-five copies. If you can get eyes on the pole to the west,
04:41
that is the pole that was reported to have involvement. If you can just figure out what yard that's in and get eyes on that. That's my last ask for you. Thank you.
04:54
You and we're going to go ahead and release truck 66 and Meg 52 and myself.
04:59
We'll keep engine 64 and you until utilities arrive.
