At this time we can see the power line that's down on some green trees.
00:03
There really is no active flame.
00:06
I think we'll keep brush truck 71 over here.
00:11
And I think at this time we can probably release engine 22.
00:18
Copy that.
00:21
Chief two to chief one, in this power line is still active.
00:28
Copy that. I think we got to figure it out where it's coming off of this pole in front of me.
00:32
That doesn't look like it's been cut.
00:33
It's still stretched tight.
00:37
Copy that.
00:41
Chief two to chief one.
00:44
Go ahead.
00:47
22 to Chief 2.
00:48
Go
00:52
ahead, Engine 22.
00:58
We're just pulling up to Fertimix now.
01:01
Do we have somebody on site that's where these downlines are?
01:06
(name withheld) just showed up out here and he said that right by Fertimix on the gravel road, he said he could see the downlines.
01:16
Copy.
01:19
Chief One to Chief Two.
01:22
Go ahead, Chief One.
01:25
(name withheld), can you see on that pole that's right in front of us between us here? Are there four lines coming off of that one?
01:30
Yes, there is four lines right in front of us, but there's one line on the far east side going south that has broke off.
01:43
Copy that because if you go to the next pole down, there's four lines there, but one of those lines is diving down where our smoke is coming from.
01:53
Correct.
01:55
Xcel's over here.
01:56
They're trying to figure out where they're going to shut this off at.
02:00
I think Jeff is going to go down.
02:01
Jeff from Excel is going to go down where Engine 22 is at down there by Fertimix.
02:08
Copy.
02:11
Excel just wants us to hold tight at this time until we figure out where all these lines are and they're de-energized.
02:20
Affirmative.
02:22
It's still smoking over here, so it's obviously alive yet.
02:28
Yep, it's resting on some green leaves and whatnot.
02:32
It's pretty well contained.
02:37
Chief two to base 40, fire ground five.
02:41
Go ahead, Chief two.
02:46
Do you want to put another grass rig in service and shut off the gravel road on Rice Street going north to Fertile because of power lines down on that?
03:01
Yeah, we'll take it out.
03:05
Engine 22 is blocking on North Broadway,
03:11
north of Fertile.
03:12
They got that gravel part blocked off.
03:14
If you guys can block off off of Rice Street.
03:20
Copy that.
