00:00
Hey, do you have that rotor working overhead yet, or have you heard back from Swift?
00:06
Yeah, I haven't heard it hanging back.
00:10
I got no rotor.
00:13
I don't know if you've been copying, listening to our traffic.
00:18
Wind switched directions on us a little bit.
00:23
We didn't quite get that.
00:24
It cut off.
00:25
It's kind of getting down in going through a draw, ditch, whatever you want.
00:31
And we can't get through.
00:32
It's probably going to be a good 2 mi .
00:35
Three miles for us to get around it if we can't get it stopped.
00:45
I got (name withheld) on the north side keeping an eye where it's going to run and clip out.
00:52
So I think that's going to be probably your best advantage.
00:56
Hopefully it clips out on the west end.
01:02
Yeah, I
01:04
kind of talked to (name withheld).
01:05
He was down there at the Steamboat Rock entrance, but
01:10
up here on top, the way it's running and the way there's a ditch, draw, canyon that we can't get down and around without going out,
01:25
you know, a couple miles and coming back a couple miles.
01:28
So, and we're kind of.
01:30
Running out of water.
01:32
I haven't seen any.
01:40
What's it doing on the east flank?
01:46
Well, the wind's kind of coming a little bit from the southeast, south southeast.
01:57
So the east flank is kind of good at the moment.
02:02
We do got one hot spot that whenever the next truck comes in, I think it's a district seven truck, I'm gonna have them try to go get it.
02:12
I'm kind of in the northwest.
02:15
Right now, right along the cliff, and it's just kind of kind of moseying right along the cliff line.
02:25
Yeah, and that's fine.
02:27
Use that cliff line as an advantage point.
02:30
I don't know how far west you're afraid of where it might jump and continue west.
02:39
I don't know if there's opportunity for dozer line or if there's an anchor point to put fire on the ground and box it in.
02:50
Yeah, there's really nothing at the moment to anchor it.
02:55
A lot of safe brush,
02:59
light flashy,
03:00
you know, summer grass type stuff.
03:05
Okay, well, you may have to get into cell phone reception and call SWIC back and get an update.
03:13
I did try to call your cell phone, but it goes straight to voicemail.
03:16
So
03:17
I wouldn't be surprised if they've tried to call you.
03:21
Yeah, received.
03:22
I got that text from you.
03:25
I think about resources basically in Franklin and up north on Kaiser Fair.
03:34
Yeah, a firm.
03:35
When you have some units up there,
03:37
might be a not a bad idea to get back into cell phone reception and get a hold of Swift and see what's going on.
03:44
I appreciate you.
03:48
Yeah, received.
03:49
Thank you.
03:53
Command from Rush 5146 on North County TAC 1.
03:59
Yeah, go ahead, (name withheld).
04:02
I just arrived at Road Five Zero and Road R NE.
04:11
The assignment also, there is two other six by sixes about 2 mi behind me.
04:17
Yeah, it sounds good.
04:18
Just go through that farm yard, kind of on the west side of the barn.
04:23
You'll find a tooth rack road, and just go through the gate and stay on that tooth rack road.
04:32
It'll take you right back here to the smoke.
04:37
Roger that.
04:38
Proceeding.
04:40
Hey (name withheld), there's a lot better access off of 49 and Q than coming in off of 50 and R.
04:49
Okay, well he was already there at the house, so just well have him come in that way.
04:56
Hey (name withheld), what's those other guys' numbers?
05:00
If they can come in 49 and Q, it might be a little simpler for them.
05:07
The other unit I brought with me is brush 516 .
05:13
He's probably almost here.
05:15
The other truck is red.
05:17
It came out of the west on highway two.
05:21
I don't know who that is.
05:24
All right.
05:27
You said.
05:30
I already can't remember 5146 .
05:34
That would be my truck, and my other six by six that's behind me will be 516 .
05:43
And he's probably not on your attack channel yet anyway.
05:48
Okay,
05:50
I'll just let him come same way you are.
05:53
We'll get him out the other direction probably.
05:57
Yeah, copy that.
05:58
I'm just going kind of cross country here, following the beaten path, so should be down there at the smoke shortly.
06:10
3-6.
06:12
(name withheld), for information, we're having district staff
06:16
3000 in (name withheld) and send them back in and send them to town for water.
06:21
They're going to be a lot faster.
06:25
He can swing by (name withheld)'s shop.
06:30
They've got about 3000 gallons right there at the shop if he wants.
06:41
I don't know.
06:42
If I'll ask him how fast he can pull down the hill, he might be able to run just as fast going down to the hydrant back up the hill.
06:51
Yeah, received.
06:54
Yeah, 600 and thirty-three's on its way.
06:56
It'll send them in as well.
