00:00
We've worked just about 100% of the perimeter with leaf blowers.
00:04
It's cut a pretty decent line.
00:05
It shouldn't grow when the brush truck arrives.
00:10
Kind of near two 1st houses, they can pump and roll.
00:13
Or have them work solely off the driver's side.
00:16
You have wind coming in here and swirling, so it doesn't matter what direction they approach.
00:21
But I was started at the outer edges.
00:23
Work yourself this side.
00:28
Truck 715, attachable command.
00:31
We're on the brush truck right now and making our way back to the house.
00:34
The homeowner's leading us back.
00:40
701,
00:46
703.
00:57
Tactical command, do you happen to have your son on phone with you?
01:05
Negative.
01:07
I can give yourself a call if you want.
01:11
No, the son had a link for Calverton to track to figure out where you guys are operating.
01:17
No worries.
01:27
Command to Type 701, we're about 300 yards into the woods.
01:33
I have about a half acre off that's contained right now with leaf blowers and brush rakes.
01:38
See a couple brush trucks back here and wet the area down.
01:45
Copy. You got Brush 715 on the way in and Brush 724 is staging.
01:51
Unless you're going to need them back there.
02:00
You can send 24's brush truck back here as well.
02:08
15, I'll go ahead and assume a stationary command post out here in front of your entrance.
02:12
Command to brush 724.
02:18
Go ahead, come in.
02:25
You're staging. Go ahead and report to the scene.
02:30
Rush 1124, come in.
02:36
At 715, with where you have the tanker staging.
02:43
They're pretty far, ways out.
02:45
Do you need them any closer?
02:52
Yeah, they can come up.
02:53
They can come up to Bellecote.
02:55
It's just Bellecote gets really tight once you turn off the chrome.
03:02
Yeah, and that bridge, we have a weight restriction on that wooden bridge.
03:06
Is that correct?
03:09
That's correct.
03:10
As of now, the bulk of the fire is contained.
03:13
I think we can use our engine company to fill both of the brush trucks should they need water.
03:26
Command to Howard Tanker 11.
03:30
Go for Howard Tanker 11.
03:34
All right, go ahead and we'll get you a stage closer to the scene.
03:37
Come down Spencerville Road and Crum Road.
03:40
And you can, you should be able to make the turn on Bellcoat.
03:43
However, there's a wooden bridge in the area of (number withheld) Bellcoat.
03:48
Do not attempt to pass that bridge.
03:50
The aerial, the ladder truck at 15 is staged out at Bellcote Drive and Crum Road.
03:55
You can stage there.
03:58
Tower Tango, all this direct going to Bell Cove, now crossing the Wooden Bridge.
