Chief Engine 15, we got pretty good protection in front of these boxes from the rocks.

I think 18s hit the head, but I'll go up and regroup.

We've got it controlled at the north. We're probably going to let it trickle up the bank a little bit and burn.

02:19

up that thing so we can burn it out before we fully put it out. We can reevaluate the second alarm if you want. Yeah, I got 614 coming and we'll probably definitely end up using 17's water, so I'm just going to keep them coming for now. Copy that. 615, you want more resources up here, you want 14s to start working that other edge.

02:47

Yeah, Chief, when you say the other edge, if you're talking about the edge of the levee where their train tracks are, we've got full stop on that. So I think everything's just right here, and we've got a wrap. Copy that. 614 Command. 614. Hey, guys, you stuck picking up the heel of the fire, which is going to be the south side of the fire.

03:16

04:34

From command, let's have you bump up, park up here with the other rigs and give them some water. Copy that. Command, Nige 615, I've got good visual along the tracks up here. The only fire we really have left is about 300 yards down and it's held in the valley. It doesn't look like it's going anywhere. So picking up the hill, I think, is a good call.

05:03
