Just be advised, there's a power line that's here right now.
00:02
We're going to moderate right in this side of it.
00:03
We have a line out for exposures, but we're going to let this do its thing and not put water on it.
00:09
Copy, thank you.
00:10
We are aware of the power line.
00:16
965, I see.
00:22
965.
00:27
965, I'm just going to make you Division X-ray.
00:30
You got Division X-ray, you got everything on the westbound side of Novato Boulevard or west of 101.
00:40
Copy Division X-ray, I've got Agent 62 and I don't think I need any other resources.
00:48
Copy that.
00:51
I see Engine 63 is approaching South Nevada and Redwood.
00:56
You were just.
00:57
.
01:01
. Just staged down here on the on-ramp to 101.
01:09
Copy stage.
01:13
I see X-ray.
01:14
If you don't need him for anything else, we'll take him here.
01:16
We'll get this mopped up.
01:22
Got it. Let's just hold them right there with you for right now, Mario.
01:32
Six four from the IC.
01:36
Go ahead.
01:39
I'm gonna make you Division Charlie.
01:41
You're Division Charlie.
01:42
You got the fire problem on that side, and any additional patients that you might come across.
01:49
Yeah, copy.
01:50
One patient right now, southbound side of 101 just before the overpass to 37.
01:56
I got a 64 firefighter working right now, right by the way.
01:58
45.
02:01
Copy that. I see engine six one.
02:10
Go ahead.
02:13
PG&E gas is on scene.
02:15
Electric's got a 10-minute ETA.
02:18
PG&E gas is telling us there's another pole about to go, and then CHP has shut down the entire cloverleaf.
02:27
Yeah, affirm, that's what I've requested.
02:29
We're shutting down all 37
02:31
Nevada Boulevard and 101.
02:35
Copy.
02:40
1514,
02:43
I see on Delta 4.
02:49
(number withheld), apartment number (number withheld).
02:57
1514, I see Delta 5.
03:02
Good.
03:06
When we get one of your Type 3s on scene, the only significant fire problem we have is the southbound exit to 37 eastbound.
03:17
We've just got a little bit of a grass fire in a mowed field in the gore point.
03:23
It'll probably need a progressive hose lay.
03:26
At this point, we do have power lines across all sections of the highway, including offbound ramps.
03:32
Just an advisement.
03:37
Copy. I believe that'll be Engine 1562 for the southbound.
03:46
Copy, 1562.
03:52
You'll have division Charlie.
03:55
Super copy, division Charlie.
03:56
An update, we have one patient needs a medical transport.
04:00
We have medic units head from the Marin Boulevard side, south of 101, go opposite traffic, getting shut down, able to access the patient.
04:10
Copy that. Break.
04:12
Medic 61, I see.
04:19
I need you to get off onto South Novato Boulevard.
04:27
X-ray.
04:30
63.
04:34
Go ahead, Rex. Hey
04:37
Chief, I'm going to assume that this whole K rail is de-energized.
04:41
I'll let PD know.
04:45
Firm lines are touching. I'm trying to see if those lines are going across the 37 to southbound 101.
04:50
There's a lot of traffic on there, but I can't tell if the lines are over there or not.
04:55
I mean, they're going to shut down southbound from the boulevard as well.
05:01
But I just want to know that these guardrails are probably energized.
05:06
If you hear the lines are touching them, I got a visual.
05:11
Copy.
05:15
101, I see an electric pole on fire.
05:19
Yeah, 61, I see.
05:20
Do you copy?
05:24
Uh, can you repeat? Didn't catch it.
05:28
You need to get off on the southbound side onto Nevada Boulevard,
05:33
then come back around off of to meet up with the patient.
05:36
The patient's in the southbound lane of 101, in between the gore point that's actively burning.
05:45
101, I see the on-ramp is blocked by power lines.
05:48
We're going around another way.
05:52
Copy.
05:58
101, I see.
05:59
Go ahead with your traffic, and I also need to request a PIO.
06:07
161, correction.
06:08
I see we're getting additional reports of a spot westbound 37 to southbound 101 connector on the left-hand shoulder of a small roadside spot.
06:16
The caller did advise there's no resources in the area.
06:23
Copy that. I'll advise further.
06:28
Copy.
06:33
Still have a lot of heavy traffic from 37 to 101 South.
06:36
Is that being shut down as well? I can't tell if the lines are going across that road or not.
06:43
Yeah, I copy. I'm working on that right now.
06:45
We just can't get CHP in here to handle it fast enough.
06:52
To get the information, I think we can back up in the driveway behind our engine.
06:57
We're all the way to the rear.
07:03
I see you, Division Charlie.
07:04
From your location, you can see the drop line of the tree.
07:07
It is not currently touching the guardrail, but we do have all traffic shut off.
07:15
Copy that. When you get a chance, we can start working on the fire problem.
07:20
But let's use caution and be aware we got the power lines down.
07:26
Yeah, remember the line right now is going to stop pretty much at this little pine that's just to the south side of the power line.
07:32
And once we get the power line secured to the tree, they'll be able to attack it from the north side.
07:36
Got it.
07:46
Engine 65, that team on Tac P4.
07:50
Where would you like us?
08:01
65, where'd you come in from?
08:05
We're on the south about a boulevard side.
08:11
Okay, at this point it's staged right there.
08:13
I might have another assignment for you shortly.
08:17
Six-five stage, on-ramp of 101 and 37.
