Heard on:
Montgomery County MD Fire-Tac
03:23
00:00
Engine 715, right tactical command.
00:03
Good.
00:08
We've worked just about 100% of the perimeter with leaf blowers.
00:12
It's cut a pretty decent line.
00:14
It shouldn't grow when the brush arrives.
00:18
Have either two personnel take a pump and roll.
00:21
We're having work fully off the driver's side.
00:25
We have wind coming in here and swirling.
00:27
So it doesn't matter what direction they approach,
00:30
but I would start at the outer edge and work yourself to the center.
00:35
Correct.
00:38
Truck 715, tactical command.
00:41
We're on the brush truck right now.
00:43
We're making our way back through the woods.
00:44
The homeowner's leading us back.
00:47
This is correct.
00:50
Right, 701, what's up?
00:53
Copy that.
00:56
Tactical, come in.
00:57
Do you happen to have your son phone with you?
01:01
Negative.
01:04
I can give yourself a call if you want.
01:08
No, the son had linked for Caltope to track to figure out where you guys are operating.
01:13
No worries.
01:16
Tactical command to Titan 701, we're about 300 yards into the woods.
01:22
About a half acre off is contained right now with leaf blowers and brush rakes.
01:27
See a couple brush trucks back here and wet the area down.
01:33
Copy. You got Bravo 15 on the way in and Brush 724 is staging.
01:39
Unless you're going to need them back there.
01:42
You can send 24's brush truck back here as well.
01:48
All right, 15, I'll go ahead and assume the stationary command post out here in front of your entrance.
01:52
Command to brush 724.
01:55
Go ahead, command.
01:58
If you're staging, go ahead and report to the scene.
02:02
Rushing 24, correct.
02:05
Command, engine 715, with uh, where you have the tanker staging?
02:12
Uh, they're pretty far, ways out.
02:14
Do you need them any closer?
02:18
Yeah, they can come off uh, come off the Delco.
02:21
It's just, Delco gets really tight once you turn off of Crane.
02:27
Yeah, and that bridge we have a weight restriction.
02:30
That wooden bridge, is that correct?
02:33
That's correct.
02:34
As of now, the bulk of the fire is contained.
02:37
I think we can use our engine company to fill both of the brush trucks should they need water.
02:47
Okay.
02:49
Coming in to Howard Tanker 11.
02:53
Go for Howard Tanker 11.
02:56
All right, go ahead and we'll get you a stage closer to the scene.
03:00
Come down Spencerville or Crumb Road, and you can you should be able to make the turn on Bellcoat.
03:05
However, there's a wooden bridge in the area of (number withheld) Bellcoat.
03:10
Do not attempt to pass that bridge.
03:13
The aerial, the ladder truck at 15 is staged out at Bellecote and Crumb, so you can stage there.
03:20
Tower Tango 11 is direct going to Bellcoat, not crossing the wooden bridge.
