22 630. So we have a controlled burn that wasn't started by the property owners.
01:31
We've got two piles burning.
01:32
I got one extra large pile which I said they wanted to burn for the night.
01:36
We're going to try to much the second pile.
01:43
We may need a tanker, so I may go and request a tanker to come this way from another station.
01:49
The part of that broke out is the illegal material they've burned.
01:55
One pile is mainly land clearing, but it's jumped over and it's caught another pile with some trash in it and an old RV they've been salvaging off of.
02:07
Okay.
02:08
All right, I'll go and get another tanker coming.

Ranger 2 from 6.30, I don't know if you copy that with Rurion.
03:12
We've got a large land clearing call actively burning.
03:18
It's jumped into a wooded area.
03:20
There's now an old abandoned RV and then trash that's burning.
03:27
We're going to extinguish the trash in the RV and then we'll...
03:34
work on containing the initial point of origin.
03:41
Copy that, you said it did escape, Paul.
03:45
I'm sorry, I had another radio to say there again.
03:49
It did escape the original land clearing pile.
03:53
Yeah, and like I said, we had several explosions from the new pile.
03:59
We're in a wood line, we're getting water on it now to keep it from getting into the wood.
04:03
So it's relatively contained as long as the wind stays down, but I just want to make you aware of it.
04:12
37, 6.30 on 12.
04:16
Okay.
04:18
You want a truck to the scene or do you want me to go back and get a tanker?

Yeah, if you can get a tanker, that'd be great.
04:25
We're at 62, but I confirm back and go get a tanker if I need to.
04:31
