Amy to Jake,
00:01
just you know the ditch is burnt to that rushy area where the cutoff is going towards the electrical pole.
00:13
I think it's just going to go out where it's lower,
00:17
where it's going uphill, it's going to creep up a back fire.
00:22
And I'm just going to let this keep naturally going until you give me a go-ahead because I could go down this trail that they mowed and cut it off here going towards you too.
00:38
Hey, Amy, we're not stripping this area.
00:44
Copy that, I'll hold here unless you need it elsewhere.
00:51
Perfect.
00:57
I've got a couple of bird boxes here right off of the Hiking Club Trail. Could you come and let those down for me?
01:04
We will head that way.
01:14
Go ahead.
01:19
Sean.
01:22
You're good, Amy. Tate, Sean.
01:25
Why don't you guys get back toward us? We're going to need some help watching this line.
01:30
Copy that. We'll move up there.
01:37
Steamy and Sean, we're kind of heading towards a double post, like a little slow going here.
01:42
The fire is kind of right out of our race, so we got to take short strip.
01:50
Copy, I'm just going to continue to let what we got going here backfire, and it's,
01:56
you know, it's only like two feet into the ditch.
02:02
Yep, perfect.
02:04
As long as we stop it, that's cut off of the power line closed for now.
02:08
We're in business, let me know if that changes.
02:14
Exactly where we are.
02:19
We can hold it here, no problem.
02:23
Okay.
02:31
Dispatch to Zumbroda Ambulance, please respond to near County 10 Boulevard for an adult male who is having right-side back pain. He is currently conscious alert and breathing normally.
02:43
Again, Zumbroda Ambulance, please respond to near County 10 Boulevard, 10 of page 1124.
02:53
3.5 on top.
02:55
Copy.
02:57
Copy. Kate, Sean, it's this stretch that we're on right now.
03:01
You can see Duncan and Brunia up.
03:03
We just need to watch this pretty close as we can help.
03:08
Copy that.
03:14
Just to let you know where there's good grass on this side of the Cart-in Trail,
03:20
it is burning upslope,
03:22
but as soon as it hits the top of slope, it has to go down slope and it's going to, and it's still a backburn, so it's going to slow right up. We'll just have black along the road when you guys get to where you need to be.
03:44
Copy it 11.20 seconds.
03:51
Last tree's right along the fire line.
03:54
As you come down toward what Duncan was, we don't want those to catch fire in drill embers.
04:03
Copy that. We got another one by the junction that we're watching too.
04:09
Okay.
04:15
Do you think Evan and Reese might need to put any water on that tree right in front of you?
04:27
I think they could just put it out once the fire passes through it. It's not going to be a ton of heat.
04:34
If it starts to smold or anything, we'll just have them cool it down right away.
04:38
It is, uh,
04:40
it would be on the fire line and shoot Ambers.
04:46
Copy that.
04:52
Jake, Amy P, I could also go up and put the ring fire around and just to cool it off a bit.
05:02
Honestly, I'd wait. I think it's gonna get up on top of that ridge and it's gonna die down a little bit. You gotta kind of a backfire going to it if you shoot a head fire at it, it can get hotter.
05:13
Copy that. Copy that.
05:19
How are you doing back there? How are you doing back there?
05:26
Going okay?
05:30
Yeah, the trees are all soaked down and the fires work past them.
05:35
Copy, why don't you get caught up to us or near us and, hey, if you can move forward behind Duncan, let's kind of monitor the line.
05:45
Copy that.
