00:00
We get one engine over here, and we do have power pole involved.
00:06
All units, all units, be advised we have power lines down across the freeway,
00:12
both south and northbound side.
00:15
It's also involving the eastbound side of 37 off ramp.
00:24
Be advised, power lines down.
00:31
965, go to attack.
00:37
Marin Battalion 61, we'll be establishing 101 IC.
00:41
Also like to require a Delta 4 attack if possible.
00:52
Marin copies and Delta 4 for attack.
01:00
Six one, be advised, these are live wires.
01:04
Fire's not going anywhere, so just hold traffic.
01:08
And watch out for your safety.
01:14
We're copies, we just arrived on scene.
01:22
We're in 101 IC.
01:25
Let's just keep all traffic on Delta 4.
01:27
We're going to keep it all on Delta 4.
01:34
We cannot make access to that patient.
01:38
Best access would have to be a vehicle going against traffic northbound on southbound
01:44
101.
01:49
Copy that. We'll work out best access.
01:56
Six five on check out before.
02:00
Go ahead, Mario.
02:02
Got power lines down on the off-ramp from 101 to Novato Boulevard.
02:06
I need an engine to come up from the boulevard side.
02:08
We can make access to the fire that way.
02:10
We do have a power pole involved.
02:14
Okay, copy that.
02:16
And at this point we have no concerns with this ditch fire.
02:20
It's in the gore points on both sides.
02:23
So we just got to be mindful of.
02:24
Of that, I don't think we really need to commit to the fire attack at this point.
02:29
Just due to the power component, and we'll see where we can get that next rig.
02:35
Break. Engine 65, is that you coming up from the southbound side?
02:42
I see it. Truck 54, we're trying to find access.
02:44
Power lines across the 37 on-ramp,
02:49
101 north to Novato Boulevard.
02:53
Trying to work with law enforcement to get up here.
02:54
We do see power lines down across all lanes of traffic on the northbound side.
03:00
Trying to find access, see if we can either attack this fire or find a better access point.
03:08
Yeah, just the bigger concern at this point is overall safety for power lines down.
03:14
Not really concerned about the veg fire.
03:16
Just make sure community's safe and identify if we have any patients.
03:22
Hey, hold on.
03:27
We
03:28
do have a little bit of concern on the other veg fire on the off ramp.
03:31
It is burning a power pole pretty good.
03:33
There's no homes threatened, but it's going to burn up against a brick retaining wall.
03:35
If we can get an engine from the Revolta Boulevard side and we need CHP to control traffic on the off ramp.
03:43
Copy.
03:48
101, I see.
03:53
30, go ahead.
03:57
At this point, we have a complete shutdown of 101 north and southbound, along with 37, both east and westbound.
04:10
We need a major CHP response to contain traffic for the access points.
04:16
PG&E Electric, we have a major power line down across the freeway.
04:20
We do have a small ditch fire approximately
04:25
8th of an acre.
04:26
On both sides of the road,
04:28
burning should be contained within the gore point.
04:33
I would like to start two engines from county fire along with the county fire BC.
