It's above the midslope road, chief.
00:02
So it's above the midslobe road and ran up towards the apartment houses here on Mitchell Place, which is where we're at.
00:09
Nothing is threatened right now.
00:10
We're trying to make access.
00:12
It's going to take a second just think we've got to cut some expense out of the way here.
00:14
But I want to see if those companies can get the lower portions that are above the midslope road and we're going to take the top half here.
00:20
Okay, I got the U.
00:21
Trek 2 from Engine 17.
00:24
We're down below right now.
00:25
It's a steep access, but we'll see what we can do.
00:28
We might have to approach it from the east side to make our way up that hill.
00:31
Yeah, there's a couple different spots.
00:34
One of them looked a little bit lower.
00:35
I wasn't sure if you'd be able to get it there from the freeway side.
00:38
Yeah, we'll make the access and we'll start protecting this south side so it doesn't run down.
00:43
Okay, copy that.
00:44
You're going to have Lightforce One down there with you for added protection of water and I've also ordered to be a seat for you down there.
00:50
Battalion 1 from Lightforce 2.
00:53
Let's go.
00:55
Yeah, Steve, it is getting into a little bit of thicker vegetation right here at the top near Mitchell Place.
01:01
No structures are threatened, but you will see the smoke pickup here a little bit.
01:05
We're feeling good safe.
01:06
Yeah, Roger, I'm just trying to get on scene now.
01:09
Trying to put the location here to spot this thing.
01:12
Can we use any air assets?
01:14
I think we're going to be good with ground routes, Chief.
01:17
Our members are getting through a fence right now.
01:19
We'll start getting water on this heavier portion that's picking up right now.
01:23
But I think between the companies on the freeway and then us on top here, we should be good.
01:28
Okay, I'm copying no additional resources, and I'll see you that bump up against the pumps here.
01:32
Correct, we've got your defensible space back here between any structures and then the fire.
01:37
Okay, I copy.
01:39
You're going to go.
01:41
Okay, uh, light force one gets on scene with you down there.
01:45
Are you going to have enough resources and water?
01:47
As long as it holds where it is, yes, we should be a little handle with two banks down there.
01:52
Okay, can you estimate its size.
01:53
Stand by. You need ten seconds.
01:55
Get around a bus.
01:56
Nice from engine 17.
01:57
It looks to be about 25 by 75.
01:59
Uh, light to medium brush and very little wind.
02:02
We're getting almost water on it right now.
02:03
Should have all the hot spots out in about two minutes.
02:06
You can copy that.
02:07
Hey, 17s from Tews.
02:09
We're right above you here.
02:10
We are on a supply, so we're going to be good with water up here.
02:13
So if you guys can just pick up what you need to there off the mid-slope road,
02:16
we'll be able to do a little bit more of an extended mothup up here.

03:20
It's really here.
03:21
Yes, as you were working your way towards where you're at now,

as you were coming in, there were a couple of spots that you would have passed coming in.
03:28
Okay, Roger, let's take a look.
03:30
Yeah, bye. We should turn the hot spot, not in the brush, isolated, Robert.
