TFS 521, I'm.
00:03
Whatever channel y'all have operational, I have capabilities.
00:07
I should be able to operate on both.
00:11
Really, we've got everything pretty much cool.
00:14
What we do need some lines cut on the flank fires due to the amount of vegetation and the high fire danger.
00:26
Calling command from TFS 521.
00:28
Do you feel like we need aerial observation, or are we good enough with just ground resources?
00:38
I'd say aerial is not needed.
00:41
Everybody's able to navigate the perimeters, and the feedback has been good.
00:46
We've got a pretty good idea of what we have.
00:49
We just need some extra protection on the perimeters.
00:54
TFS 521 received.
00:55
We will not bring out air resources for observation at this time.
01:00
We are just now coming off FM 317 onto Highway 36 from the west side of Temple.
01:08
I already see you.
01:12
When you get to the scene, we have areas of open field to unload your equipment quickly.
01:19
Access to the scene should be fairly easy.
01:27
Command, I know it's seven.
01:29
Go ahead.
01:31
I know y'all will be busy here a little bit.
01:35
Is there any need for y'all to leave here soon, or can y'all stay a while? What's your status?
01:43
(name withheld), the creek is being worked really well right now.
01:46
I mean, it's like I said, you got a 30-foot drop.
01:50
Looks like it had some water in it.
01:52
I don't know how much.
01:54
The only other place that's smoking is almost right in front of your command vehicle, but it's in the black all the way around.
02:05
I see.
02:07
I'm thinking ahead—if this thing flares back up on the west end, it would push toward a more populated area of the city, so I'd feel more comfortable with extra protection there.
02:23
Oh, I would definitely cut at least two dozer blades across there.
02:28
Why?
02:30
Received.
02:32
As far as your guys,
02:34
Are y'all going to have to leave soon or can you stay longer?

Hang on, I'm going to come over and talk to you.
02:42
All right, received.

Commander 301.
02:48
Commander 303.
02:50
All right, booster one's heading back in.
02:53
Other area 301, come in.
02:55
Go ahead. Okay.
02:56
(name withheld), I'm going to start working this southeast corner of the trees.
03:01
We've got lots of smoke on the edges of them.
03:03
I've got foam in this tank now, so I'll go down with foam until I run out.
03:08
Very soon, (name withheld).
03:10
Part of booster one, part of booster three,
03:13
Do you guys need us over there? You want us to work this flank?
03:16
Roger, boost two coming out for water.
03:19
Command Rogers, this is.
