This fire has traveled a good bit into the wood line this direction.

I'm going to try to make a walk around the perimeter, see what other structures we have in danger.

B21. Okay.
01:29
How far off a 3278 would you estimate the fire is burning?
01:32
At the furthest point, you're looking at about 300 yards.
01:35
Between the Dawwood Ridge driveway and Evangeline Drive, it appears to be two homes closer to the 3278 Highway, and then Evangeline Drive is our next exposure with homes outside of that, it's timber to the northeast.
01:54
104, we stopped the fire right before one of the residences on 3278.
01:58
I'm tracking it back in the woods now and towards the Evangeline Drive side.
02:03
It all goes back to Sibley Lake from there with no apparent exposure, so I would say let Engine 4 get to Evangeline and see what he can get a visual on.
02:12
And if you've got someone who can break away from there, maybe assist him.
02:16
10-4[1]. Okay, DT1 to all units.
02:18
We are going to have a fire break between the current spot of the fire in Evangeline Drive, some freshly cleared land here.
02:26
It's still got about 30 feet to burn until it gets to it, but that is going to be an asset to us.
02:30
Engine 1, breastwork 1, we got a problem.
02:33
The pump here on Brushwork 1 just all of a sudden just burst completely and it shot out a little flame, but it's off right now.
02:40
10-4[1], BC1 is going to be out of service.
02:43
Engine 4 is in there.
