K-92[1], Charles 2.

Go ahead.
00:08
We have good eyes on the front door if you guys want to back up farther and get out of the smoke as much as possible.
00:14
Copy, we're going to try to cover fire from here.
00:17

00:18
Five four with six.
00:19
Lincoln, too, I'm notified.
00:20
Thank you.
00:21
And all swall personnel not currently assigned to a position, we're going to rally up at River Ridge, Way, and Patent Court.
00:28
David, if you want to fire, swimmed down their lines through, back yard of near 1-044-4-4-4-4-4-4-4.
00:32
Hey 51, confirm you're with Metro Bearcat[2].
00:35
I was gonna ask if they didn't get here yet, but fire is obviously trying to make their way to the residence.
00:42
I'm by myself.
00:43
So I stay put for now, I'll wait for that Bearcat[2].
00:46
Team 5, looking through.
00:47
traffic for Lincoln finally.
00:49
Yeah, we're going to begin to start relieving your units.
00:52
Do you know what their identifiers are if we need to get replaced and the location?
00:58
Charles, too, is on scene as part of that perimeter.
01:00
You can call them out and you can start replacing them on his command.

01:06
I currently have K-92[1] and I have David 41 on the north side and that's me and Perez on the south side and that's all that's currently up here.
01:15
I got it.
01:16
So if I can have the radio for a minute.
01:18
We have a whole bunch of fire truck staged to the south.
01:21
If one of them can pull up behind the Bearcat[2], however to the left side of the street, they will not be in rifle range.
01:28
They can put water up over the neighbor's house and at least protect the neighborhood.
01:32
And then the same from the north, where that ladder truck is, if they could just start squirting from where they're at, not only have the reach, but we might be able to keep the neighbor's houses from going up.
01:41
I'm working with fire to get water from the north side right now.
01:44
Thank you. And then behind the Baircat, to the left or the west side, just as you can scoot that fire truck up a little bit.
01:51
I know they're afraid of a rifle, but this house is on a curve.
01:54
They'll be out of range if they're behind that control car behind you.
01:57
Apart from Adam 3.
01:58
Fire is going to have a drone operating out of below 200 feet.
02:00
Thank you. George 21 and 22 for a collision, Village Crossing apartment.

02:19
Our Bearcat[2] would be fire detachment is about 10 minutes out now.
02:23
Charles, too, I got to that.
02:24
We're going to need somebody else to move that vehicle and come up.
02:26
We need out where there's only one up the south side here if they come up the south side of the street.
02:29
They'll be clear if they come up towards the Oak Avenue side.
02:32
It's wide open.
02:33

02:55

02:59
As officers are right on scene, we'll need units to go to the rear of the house for force protection with fire.
03:06
Copy. Okay.
03:07
Go ahead. Just confirming that's going to be the graveyard units that are en route, or are we moving the David Watch units to protection with fire?

03:15

They're going to take the northern route in.
03:19
If you could have the fire department prep a hose.

03:41
We're currently meeting Perez on the south perimeter.
03:43
Hey guys, that's our Bearcat[2] coming up from the south on the street.
03:47
If you can wave him in please and then figure out what kind of hose attached you guys made on the back of that thing, I don't know.
03:53
Sam, Ate, I could have Alvarez go to the back side with that force protection for fire if you need.
03:58
But, I'm not firm.
04:00
