Zero one clear? Zero one clear, 2019. Correct. Then I'll go ahead and assume we'll just call this Hokespom Command and Utility 21 could you see use for one of the boats? to get any of this from the river. Okay. Command from Engine 18. We're bringing pressure at 18. Do you like us responding from the Rock Island Bridge down south or if you want to take the Nellwood up north? By standard. Copy I'm in route. Command from Utility 21, I think the first rush unit to John scene we kind of need on the east side of the track. So I believe with Engine 20, looking at the map, where they're positioned up in Milwaukee, we need to have our first apparatus come down that trail from the top side. 17. Come to Engine 20's location, the 5,400 block of Milwaukee, please. It's going to be 5210, South East Milwaukee. And this is, if this spot, it's going to be 512, southeast Milwaukee. He's wearing a black pilot's tennis shirt. Has the number 25 on it. In front of the pilot stand. Copy that. I have you on them now. Copy, thank you. 2021. State Clear, 2022. Good evening, I'll be back to me. Copy. 2022. Agent 25 is arrived at the command. Can you put myself and I won't find back to our last, we've got a set of location? POS 7 Adam, 1080, clear. 5.7 Adam, 1082 clear, 2020. Edward we have a train block in the entrance please just bus copies can we answer me after me utility 21 just thinking too even though we have the one of the brush units going to be the second unit arrive will be on Springwater Trail, but I think if we have engine 23 available, they can pull a post right there at the 4th and Crothers, I believe, Ivan, and they just drive down to at my own post to it as well. Okay, I have engine 25 here with me. Can I send them down there? Yeah, that's a affirmative. They might not have, we have special keys. There's a board there at the trail with a heavy-duty chain. They could probably cut it or, you know, because it gets pretty narrow. I know you can't make it through there. I believe Engine 25 can do, but they're going to need to break up that lock. Engine 20 has a set keys up here. We'll drop them with Engine 25. them to Fort and for others. And they'll just drive straight down to the houseposts too, and they'll see the smoke. Okay, copy that. And give me an update fire progression at this point. Are we keeping things in check at this point? It looks like the wind's kicking up. trying to keep it out of the canopy. The one deep that we're working on on the east side has collapsed. And so there's got some little bit of spot fires up in the tree a little bit, but it's definitely not into the canopy as of yet. And I'm trying to get eyes on the other one on the spring water trail. Command from Dispatch. You do have Engine 23 available and just a reminder that police activity is over by Southeast Milwaukee and Southeast Harold. Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, we're aware of that one. We'll try to keep crews around that. one. If we have engine 25 available, then I don't believe we're going to need you.
