00:00
we got a fire from here.
00:01
We're gonna be there.
00:07
Next
00:27
one's coming up to the head of the fire.
00:29
I know. We're in the hand detector.
00:38
This is always West.
00:40
Guys, just for your information.
00:48
Hey, you somewhere around?
00:52
Tell you, you're on the 1st line.
00:56
No, come in down that the middle that we took, and then get back to the head of the fire.
01:02
You'll see it.
01:03
We're about even with it.
01:05
It's got its feet just by the building.
01:18
Continues west, just coming.
01:21
I can't get an area of you, but the further west I go, I keep finding fire.
01:34
This fire is where it jumped the fence.
01:36
I want to stay into the south Stillman area.
01:40
Are we in that area yet?
01:44
Just off of the fence line, but this thing has kind of walled into the (number withheld) area.
01:52
The fire line going directly west from the fire line west.
02:02
Guys, over here at the home of the fence, it's just south of West of the police.
02:11
And I'm on the east side of the fence, and I can see where it traveled west at
02:19
what.So in about 15 minutes, I'm going to have an air tanker.
02:21
We need to move out of the way so the air tanker can primarily protect around the residential area, which is going to be this area.
02:31
On the north west side,
02:35
we're almost to the head of the fire, but it's already kind of past that residence.
02:46
Yeah, so you're coming up.
02:49
Ten four, back there by the pond.
02:51
There's a pond in front of the house.
02:55
Everybody's drinking, drinking,
03:01
drinking, drinking. Uh, digging a line there.
03:02
Well, we're working a fire line up here on the west side.
03:04
If you can get units.
03:09
Working ahead right now, turning straight west for a little bit, coming out.
03:20
Yeah,
03:22
west side fence line and go north.
03:24
I don't know if it's got an area.
03:34
No.
03:41
This one,
03:42
but I know that the tanker's going to be in the area shortly.
03:45
And that was about 5 min ago, so he's about 50 min out.
03:50
So I'm assuming at this point that they're going to try to attack ahead of the fire, which is going to be to the northwest.
04:06
Radio.
04:11
Go ahead.
04:13
Somebody to get in there, see what tankers he's got.
04:16
The cardiac condition and tell them to come down and contact.
04:20
This was my need for water support.
04:24
Stand by, stand by.
04:27
One.
04:32
If you can only go to (number withheld) and go to the county road team, and I'm just sitting here.
04:39
So I'm thinking, Chief, that is going to be the easiest access for water for us.
04:43
We're over here at (number withheld), so go ahead and do that.
05:09
We made it to the head, but it just threw right over it.
05:11
It's got some pretty good fuel behind it.
05:13
So we're trying to make a stop at it, but it's going away.
05:18
Do you have a radio?
05:23
Radio, come in.
05:34
I don't know how far away this is.
05:36
If you go away and try to get ahead of it, you get a shot.
05:41
Go right in.
05:47
How are they going?
05:49
Heading north on (number withheld).
05:58
Do we have 1422 in the area of 1402?
06:03
I haven't seen him.
06:06
It would be perfect for this terrain back here.
06:10
All right, (name withheld), you're still in the smoke area?
06:16
Yeah,
06:17
when we cut the hole with detector services at, he's approaching that area.
06:22
They want him to go through the.
06:27
If you come here to the left, we'll
06:33
get back in the fire. We'll find the fire line back.
06:36
Brush
06:42
two, are you?
06:44
Brush one, are you behind brush two?
06:50
Over.
06:59
Be out of service.
07:00
Brush three out of service.
07:01
Uh, 14 twenty-two, get us close to you.
07:03
Ten to us to uh, to this neighboring ranch.
07:08
If you can meet up over here, that way we jump on with you.
07:10
Brush three out of service.
07:11
I'll go up.
07:15
I'm gonna go back out.
07:16
Brush one and I'm gonna go get 1422 and bring him in.
07:20
This fire is kind of a little west of the center of the town.
07:35
I'm gonna mark this spot and see if we can get back to it.
07:38
There's a center here, so hopefully we can find the center back to it.
07:42
We're not too far from the head here.
07:43
Brush two.
