For the incoming units, our best access is going to be 422 eastbound, about a half a mile east of the Stowe interchange.
00:14
You also get the fire police out here to run a lane for us.
00:21
Captain, 50 on two, okay.
00:26
59 Chester, 64 units.
00:31
Best access is going to be 422 eastbound, about a half mile east of the Stowe interchange, per cab 69-2.
00:39
69-2, we've got two PWs back here with us now.
00:42
Probably going to need a few more.
00:44
The way this is still pushing.
00:47
Okay, I got one more out here.
00:49
I'll let you know when I get the other four units.
00:55
There may still be one left on the ladder as well.
00:59
Okay.
01:02
ATV to Captain Six Nine One.
01:08
Captain Six Nine One.
01:11
Hey (name withheld), can I come up this way on Grosstown Road, off of Grosstown?
01:17
Hey,
01:18
you're gonna have to follow me down from Grossdown.
01:21
I'll start working up the back and down by a structure here different from the ladder.
01:28
Captain two from the squad, what do you want from us?
01:36
For now, stay sure behind the engine.
01:39
We'll let you hear from the ladder if anything else is going to need.
01:46
We are just about at whatever is burning now.
01:51
Sorry, repeat that.
01:53
We are just about back to whatever he's burning right now.
01:58
Okay, okay.
02:01
Captain Two, we're at some sort of dirt access road.
02:05
I just have no idea where it goes.
02:09
Okay, there's an access road gate right at the end of First Town Road and the interchange there.
02:16
If I need to redirect a unit over there, I can get in that gate.
02:20
But it didn't look like it got far enough back to where the smoke's coming from.
02:25
Yeah, I don't know.
02:26
We're on some dirt access road, but.
02:29
From where I'm at, it's right off the officer's side of the ladder, about straight back.
02:40
All right, let me know if I need to send a UTV up to that interchange.
02:45
Send one of them there for now, see if they can get back to where we are.
02:51
Copy that.
02:53
County from Captain 602.
02:56
Yeah, this is not good.
02:59
Can you have UTV 64 report to the access gate at the interchange of Pottstown Pike and US 422?
03:10
See if they can make access from that side of the fire.
03:14
We're having a difficult time getting equipment back there right now.
03:19
Yeah, I'm just getting to it.
03:22
Okay. Squad 68, 404.
03:26
Squad 68, resident reporting the alarm sounded in the avenue.
03:30
They'll be waiting outside.
03:33
Okay.
03:37
Captain Two, it looks like whatever's burning is an encampment down in the old riverbank.
03:45
We're down the old riverbank in the river.
03:49
We have no idea how to even access it.
03:52
It still looks like it's spreading to spread any further.
03:57
I'm concerned at this point.
03:59
Oh, it's running the old riverbank.
04:03
The old riverbank, but we have no idea how to get down to it or anything.
04:08
Okay, I have FM 17 and PD are going to head up to that gate at First Town Road, get that open up for 64.
04:15
Chief and I are on it, and if you can recon a better plan for the recon,
04:20
I'll add it.
