807, Battalion 10, Bivis, I'm on location.
00:03
I've done a face-to-face with Battalion 8.
00:06
If there's any additional resources you need, Battalion 10 for your division, let me know.
00:14
And we'll get a rundown of your companies and any resources you need come through command.
00:19
I'm listening.
00:24
This is 807.
00:25
At this time,
00:27
the strip shopping center we're at right now,
00:32
we've taken care of everything.
00:33
We're trying to find a way to turn off the sprinklers.
00:35
All I have are spot fires along the railroad tracks on the other side of metal fences that we can't get our hoses to stretch to.
00:42
That's why I was requesting booster units to try to drive along the railroad tracks and they can hit these for us.
00:50
We see, we got booster units coming.
00:53
Be advised,
00:54
engine 24 is to the east of your structure,
00:57
and they're watching any spot fires that are trying to jump beyond you.
01:01
So we have the fire flanked, we have resources to the east of you, so we should be fine.
01:07
As far as the sprinklers, we've got all the power systems out here on the 40 side.
01:11
I do see a...
01:14
what looks to be a standpipe connection here on 20 so you may have one of your engineers someone look back around here.
01:23
Well, let me see if I get hold someone on this side for you.
01:27
Truck 19 is a battalion, Ken.
01:29
We got the sprinkler shut off.
01:33
The battalion did receive? 807, did you copy that?
01:38
I did receive.
01:39
It just may take a moment to drain, but good job.
01:45
Yeah, the battalion 10-807.
01:47
I'm actually on the roof of this building and I'm looking to the east and I don't see any blue smoke coming up through these trees.
01:53
So I think everything to the east of this strip shopping center is taken care of.
01:59
Most of the spot fires I can see are to my west.
02:06
Receive, as you get a recon mission on your website,
02:11
let us know any additional resources you need.
02:13
You do have engine 24 down there on that end with you.
02:16
They may be able to help you as a resource, immediate resource.
02:19
Both the Bruce let's get here.
02:25
I come at 13-021 Quote Road at the AZC store.
02:33
All right, Charlie 45, the next call the 40, please.
02:42
Mr. 31, we can call you by cell phone and give you directions.
02:50
Appreciate you, thank you.
03:01
What I have are some small spot fires to the west of that strip shopping center along the railroad track.
03:08
Right now, rescue 3 is having somebody open up the gate that will allow the boosters to drive over the railroad track and get to the spot over here.
03:19
Received. Where is that access gate in relationship to the structure you're working? We needed to stay proud in to get the boosters to the west tracks.
03:32
to get to the south side of the tracks to work the west side spot fires.
03:41
Well, SQ3 is sitting on a street called Scottsdale to the immediate south of my Delta Charlie Corner.
03:53
If they can make their route down one of the connecting streets to Scottsdale, they'll see Rescue 3 sitting there at this gate.
04:00
Once they get through this gate, they'll be able to drive over the railroad track and get to our spot fires.
