Radio audio of firefighters handling a large house fire. Crews report heavy fire and a roof collapse on one side, and flames fed by a gas line and a home generator.

679 for command. We need a straight stream. That's as straight as I can get it, bud. 629 from command here, if you please. We have the fog nozzle on there. We might have to switch to a straight stream if we need more penetration. Yeah, for what I'm seeing from my view, it looks like you have a fog pattern. There's no stream whatsoever. That's looking better now your pattern starting to form within your model might have and stuff. Copy up. If you wanted me to try to complete a 360 for you with my crew and try to see if we could turn off the gas. It looks like you got gas on fire coming out of the roof line. I've got 2.81's officer right now that's advising they did shut down with the gas on the delta side. So unless it has a double supply, yes, if you can go ahead and try to go ahead and do a full 360 only for the size up to see if there is possibly two gas needs coming into the structure to the size. I copy. I got my cell and my crew going back there. It's going to be a par three. We'll try and do a full 360 for you. Copy. 651, par three. One in the Charlie's side, try to split size up for additional gas shutoffs. Anti-traffic on TACs, TACS, TACS, Nension 611, flew up to Station 8. ECCC, copies. 11 moving up to Station 8, 0032.

Copy T-701 on scene 0033. DC for commandant, and apologize, ma'am, go ahead with your last transaction. This was advising. Second (name withheld)'s been met. We're still online with Tico, waiting to talk to an operator and work and incident report's intent. Copy all for this time, ma'am, and to verify my additional engine, it gets a specialist. You have engine 641 and engine 641 in Route? Copy 641-661 or interrupt, thank you. Double 34. T-600 on same. Copy T-600 on scene W-34. Command from 6466464, coming down again, that's a phone. 641, command, I got a decent knockdown on the fire from what I can tell with the exterior view. Our biggest concern to this point is the size of the structure, making sure it doesn't go any further spreading to them to the delta side. We're working on a set of a courtyard laid, a set of two handlines so we can actually start working on this from the exterior as well. I copy command. We have no exposure concerns at this time. Copy no exposure concerns, number 35. 679 from 651. Just bring your screen down so you're heading over the back of the house and on the pool. How's that? It's good where you're out there, just sweep back and forth. 651 command, thank you for the guidance on that. Can you advise you able to work around to the Charlie side with your crew? Yes, sir, we're on the rear of the structure right now. We're working our way around the building shutting all the valves off. We did find the secondary gas shut off that we turned off, as well as the power panel that we shut off, all the panel on. My copy. Thank you for the additional. Can you advise, from what I'm... You can tell what I'm hearing so far, the Delta side of the structure is the unburned side. As it stands right now, the first floor on the Delta side is unburned, but it's working its way in there. The second story is fully involved on the Delta side, and the Charlie side is completely gone. I copy that. Can you advise on roof collapse on the second floor from your position? Yes, sir, we have full roof collapse here on the Charlie side. It's working on the Delta side as well. I've said the fire is starting to work its way out on the Delta corner here, the Delta Charlie corner. The Charlie side is fully gone. I copy. We're in process of the court here to lay for handlines. It sounds like it would be beneficial to get one over to that Charlie side in that corner where you're working on. Yes, sir, if you're going to save anything right now, it's going to be the Charlie Delta Corner if you want to run up the side of the Delta corner with a courtyard lay. You'd be able to get on the back porch with the handlines. Command copy is great. Thank you.
