What about 83 in our POV?
00:07
What about 30 to 4 coming down the dirt road where you need me?
00:16
On this house,
00:17
1st house on the left, when you come up here, let's set that truck up there.
00:21
I'm still not sure what all we've got going on.
00:27
Watauga Fire,
00:28
1st on scene, give us a heads up.
00:30
Can we get more trucks down in there where Pumper Two came?
00:41
But it's on the very top of the hill, may not do us any good.
00:45
Flames were kind of heading north, or sorry, west and south.
00:53
It's on 150 foot hill.
01:02
No, yeah.
01:04
Ten four.
01:20
This is an answer.
01:29
I'm not hearing him.
01:31
That one.
01:39
900 unit responding to an answer.
01:53
Yeah, that's it.
01:54
We'll try to get over to 900 unit that they had dispatched to an answer.
02:01
I was going to let
02:06
him know that I was in the house.
02:08
They ended up with a call and they need to leave.
02:10
I've got the medical truck with me.
02:24
Tacoma, come right through the grass.
02:26
That's where we're at.
02:34
Okay, 10-4, 10-4.
02:41
Can you let us know? We've got about 13 cows out south of town on 45.
02:46
They are on the roadway.
02:52
13 cows out south of town.
02:53
Do you have a road for me at all?
02:56
Yeah, just give me Highway 45 right at the end of town.
02:59
They are on the left side.
03:00
They're brown colored cows.
03:03
Brown colored.
03:04
Okay.
03:11
UTV.
03:16
The back road, there's a paved road.
03:20
If you come down the dirt road and the paved road, there's a man there.
03:23
We can set up there and drop the UTV.
03:27
Copy that. You are not on Wofford Lake, is that correct? You're on the road that's north of Wofford.
03:35
This is WB4.
03:37
Come in the dirt road beside Bonanza's Wellness Clinic.
03:45
Copy that, WB4.
03:46
I'm probably three, three and a half minutes ETA.
03:51
10-4.
03:56
This
03:57
is fire. Is this
04:04
fire maybe a hill at all? We do have structures up there.
04:25
All fire units, all fire units, look at the fire down.
04:29
Fire down two.
04:34
We're at 45 and Sassafras.
04:42
Dispatch 3640, okay, I'm out.
04:49
I'm almost in the area, fortunately.
04:51
I'm heading that way.
04:54
Ten four, a few past cows.
04:55
Can you let me know where they're at because fire did not give me a cross street.
04:58
They said at the end of town and I don't know what that means.
05:32
Deputy Benanza,
05:34
back on the west side of where this fire is at, there's a house.
05:38
Those kids there are the ones that started the fire, but they're at that house and the fire is moving towards the house.
05:44
We need to get them evacuated out and they need to be contained.
05:51
Stand for.
05:55
Yeah, go ahead.
05:57
My boss one is advising that on the west side of where the fire is located now is where it was started, and he wants those people evacuated and detained.
06:11
Well, that's going to be a county jurisdiction on that west side.
06:32
Go ahead.
06:34
Yes, ma'am.
06:35
If you could, that our pager is off for that call in Bonanza, please.
06:43
We have already, but I'll go ahead and page them again.
06:46
Enforcement to all units on scene.
06:47
Be advised, Lepco has been advised and they should be en route soon.
07:17
I'll have to figure out another way to get around into this.
07:29
I don't see where, sir.
07:34
Yes.
07:38
We're on scene confirming they do believe there are structures involved and unknown whether there's people in them.
07:46
They're trying to get to them to tell them to get out if there are.
