Two six seven, we can actually go off this road and go out around and get on the back side of this power line that just found out.
00:08
Okay.
00:10
Command, is that what you want us to do?
00:17
For the time being, until I notify or confirm that the power is shut off,
00:23
we're going to go up this same entrance and run into 150 chief at the top.
00:28
152,
00:36
192.
00:40
Go ahead.
00:43
So we went through the blue gate.
00:44
Do we cross under this power line to get over to you?
00:49
Are you talking about the power line that runs to the right down to the substation?
00:55
That's affirmative.
00:57
Yeah, just keep coming straight.
00:59
You'll run right into me.
01:08
Go ahead. I have what I would consider three heads.
01:17
The left and the right full line, and I say split here in Clymer.
01:21
And then out the right side, there's a 2nd fire on the right, probably 100 or 200 yards from the current head on the right.
01:27
You can see where you're at.
01:30
Receive your side by side should be on the other side of that gas well up ahead.
01:35
I'm going to send 190 up there to assist them when we're able to.
01:41
Receive.
01:49
Indiana County Utility 573 on scene.
01:54
1345.
02:02
150 chief, Jefferson Street command.
02:09
Go ahead.
02:11
Just to update you on units, 570's brush truck is going to stage at the command vehicle if you need manpower and utility.
02:22
266 is on its way to you off the blue gate.
02:28
Received.
02:42
This is three command 100 chief.
02:46
One hundred chief, go ahead.
02:49
Do you need additional engines or are you fine with just brush trucks?
02:56
I'm okay with just brush trucks, sir.
03:00
Received.
03:07
Harris is on the way with three.
03:10
Thank you.
03:20
150 command, 570 captain.
03:25
570 captain, go.
03:27
We are staged next to your command unit.
03:31
Would you like us to head up over the hill or what would you like us to do?
03:35
Stand by. 150 chief, this is 2.
03:38
Do you have any need for manpower at this point?
03:45
Can you repeat that?
03:48
Do you need manpower on foot up to you at this point?
03:55
Negative, not till confirmed the power is out.
03:57
No sense in having them walk here.
03:59
I could use one more unit up in here though.
04:04
I have 570's brush truck at 151.
04:07
I can have them follow that up in if you'd like me to.
04:14
Negative. We'll just wait because once they get up in here, it's going to block the access.
04:18
We'll just wait.
04:21
That's received.
04:22
Just for your knowledge, kind of like left the substation.
04:25
I'm unsure of their location.
04:30
Received. The guy I talked to did say as soon as they get it figured out, they're going to let you know.
04:36
Copy.
04:44
If you're just able to update me on the fire progression, I can't see anything.
04:49
It just looks like the whole hillside's on fire and there's wind sounds everywhere.
04:53
But the wind's really picking up too.
04:57
Yeah, that's affirmative.
04:58
I'm headed back down towards Silver now.
05:09
170 Captain, 150 Command.
05:12
Go ahead.
05:14
You just stage there for the time being until we need you.
05:20
150 Command, brush 107.
05:24
107, go.
05:27
We're making a right on Jefferson Street now.
05:30
Where do you need us?
05:33
At the intersection of Harrison and Jefferson, I'm going to send your unit up towards 570 to stage.
