I don't know what's going on, but I think we have a car right ahead of us.
00:32
Engine 263 is going to be standing by trying to make through traffic.
00:37
Clear engine 232-266.
00:40
Where is that going to be at?
00:43
This is going to be on 331 inside a corporation limit in Holloway.
00:48
Is it a red Chevy?
00:51
I'm not sure dispatch.
00:52
One of my men is running up over the road here.
00:55
It's down over the hill.
00:56
We are on a slide.
00:59
Engine 263, I got another call, and it's not going to be a working fire.
01:03
Where is it at, dispatch?
01:06
It's the fire you're going to.
01:07
It's going to be a working fire.
01:10
We're trying to get through dispatch.
01:12
Anybody else called on the air?
01:14
That's negative.
01:19
Dispatch engine 27.
01:27
Got it. You copy.
01:29
It sounds like it's going to be a working fire.
01:31
Got another call on the line advising it.
01:33
Sounds like it's going to be fully involved.
01:34
You're out here in a second.
01:37
That's clear.
01:39
Is it going to be easier to go in from the hallway side or the flushing side?
01:47
1747 to Central.
01:48
We'll be in service.
01:51
1747 out 608.
01:53
I'm not sure depending on how this weather is.
02:01
I'm not real familiar with that area.
02:04
Rescue 12 this match.
02:06
All right. Well, I can say you guys better be careful on your way ahead.
02:11
Match for things.
02:13
47, it looks like you're the only one.
02:15
Are you going to need anything else right now or you want to evaluate first?
02:20
263 Central, I've got two commercials blocking state route 331.
02:25
It is unpassable.
02:26
I do have a ODOT truck coming through town, but we're going to have to try it back out of here and find an alternate route out.
02:35
That's clear.
02:36
Rescue 12. Yeah, traffic.
02:39
2410s is engine 27.
02:42
Yeah.
02:44
Yeah, we're about ready to pull off scene.
02:46
Do we have anybody on scene? Is this a working structure?
02:50
There's nobody on scene at this time, and it sounds like it's going to be a working fire.
02:55
Hey, Jared, go in to this call out north-west street.
03:01
It's going to be right past the area that we had the cardiac arrest not that long ago.
03:08
It's going to be in that vicinity.
03:11
That's Claire.
03:12
Do you know if the state's been out plow on 147 because Barnesville is going on 800 to shut down? All right, coffee, thanks.
03:23
I'm not sure they're doing their best right now.
03:25
We've got crashes all over the area, so...
03:28
Okay, Barnsville Hill also, they're shut down, Rescue 12.
03:32
Engine 26, can you give me your exact location of this vehicle over the hill?
03:37
That's clear.
03:38
We're en route through Betheson.
03:41
It's still on the road.
03:43
It's two tractor trailers, two 18 wheelers coming off of the Hallsworth Wellpad.
03:49
It's going to be directly in town.
03:53
They're still on the road.
03:54
They're just not able to pull up over top of the hill.
03:57
So it's not a crash.
04:00
It's just they're stuck on the roadway.
04:02
Affirmative.
04:04
So there is no vehicle over the hill.
04:07
Negative.
04:09
Thank you. Tanger 3672.
04:14
Spass 235. I do not have any tanker or engine,
04:19
with the exception of the initial response of engine 263 in route this time.
04:23
Barnes will should be en route shortly.
04:26
What do you want me to do with this 35?
04:30
Dispast 237 is moving to Station 1.
04:33
2-37, Station 1, 610.
04:37
Let's just go the next on the run card, I guess.
04:43
Engine 27th en route dispatch, you did copy.
04:47
Engine 27 route 610.
04:50
That's for Chief 35.
04:52
And I apologize on that.
04:53
I made a mistake.
04:54
Engine 232 is en route for the Tanger Task Force, as well as Rescue 12 will be in right here shortly, and then I got two engines on the initial response responding.
05:03
No tankers.
05:04
All right, go ahead and give them another tone and go see if we can get next on the run card.
05:12
That's true.
05:13
No, man, obviously I cannot look on my map right now because of the road conditions.
05:18
You look and see what kind of filter sites we have there.
05:22
That's where...
05:24
Stand by.
05:26
Chief 41 dispatch.
05:29
Warfield Tanker 33 Central Dispatch.
05:33
And Moorefield.
05:34
Got it.
05:35
Yeah, be advised.
05:36
Warfield Tank will be in route? Hey, would it be better for us to go into flushing or cut up over by the old reservoir?
05:44
41 is going to be unable to respond with the pump trailer due to this weather.
05:50
It's going to be too dangerous for us with the trailer out on the road.
05:57
The 232-2-2-25.
06:00
Go ahead.
06:02
There's a hydrant right off by a flushing that we've used for tanker calls in that area before.
06:08
Copy.
06:11
217 Central.
06:13
Can I Q17?
06:15
Be advice, commercial vehicles are walking McFarwin Hill heading out of Belmont towards Bethesda.
06:24
That's clear.
06:27
1747 Central.
06:30
Good.
06:31
If you have any more calls on this crash?
06:37
313 this match.
06:40
Negative.
06:41
Good, 3133. 313.
06:45
33 will be in service and responding, just confirming this is (number withheld) Hallsworth Road, Washington.
06:54
That's affirmative.
06:57
Copy that. 3313 and service respondent.
07:02
That's for 613.
07:06
Dispatch 235.
07:09
Good.
07:14
If you copy 41's traffic, they're not going to be able to respond with the weather, with their trailer for PhilSight.
07:23
Mention 27 dispatch.
07:25
You could, like, flushing township and make sure we can get a plow out there.
07:31
I'm looking at like beads and snow on the line there.
07:35
Okay, sounds like we've got out there outside of flushing.
07:38
I'm looking like snow on right.
07:41
We'll go with that for now.
07:42
C-35, you were broken.
07:44
I'm sorry. Can you repeat your traffic?
07:46
I already tried to call Flushing Township.
07:48
They do not have any plows on their trucks right now.
