I don't know if it's possible or not, but there is a neighbor that said if they can get up another brush truck up past where everybody's staging at that Y, they can hit the north side of this fire too.

Thirty-nine twenty-seven.
02:45
We have not confirmed if the power is off yet.
02:47
There's a meter box on the house.
02:48
We'll probably need energy in or out to shut it off the pole.
02:53
Attention Piney and 70 West and Joplin, we already have energy en route and we've called Summit.
02:58
They advised no gas in the area.
03:02
The problem is that we have propane tanks popping up here so no natural gas.
03:08
Last unit, if you can repeat your traffic, I just advised that the house.
03:11
House did not have Summit.
03:18

We're trying to sort it all out real fast.
03:34
Understood 14.
03:35
When they do come up, I want them to come up like they're coming through the engine that hang a left and go around the structure.
03:41
The fire going up to the north side looks like it's extinguished and now it's moving west.
03:46
There is no smoke. There's a new structure that's being built and an existing structure in that direction.
03:53
Copy that.
03:56
I need another tanker up here.
04:02
Working on it, but everybody keeps blocking the driveway.
04:04
We can't get all this stuff out of here.
