Okay, 1301, 1304, what's your EPA to 41? I'm here right now, I'm stuck behind 1930. I gotta have them move the brush truck to get around. Clear (name withheld). One from 1312. Central from 130. We got quite the civilian traffic jam on the west side. We're coming back to move the truck. Again, Central 1301. What? You sent me just to tender out a door. I'm not sure that we're going to be it, but I'd rather have more water coming or just thought out. 1301, 1303 or 5. 1303, 1303, go ahead. 1303, I can't tell from this side, can you see in the back of that truck, do you have a clear shot at those bottles to keep cooling them, or is it still enclosed? Allegan Central Doorfire, Doorfire, Wait and Zonstein of a vehicle fire involving five chemicals. 829-140th Avenue 829-140 Avenue. They're requesting one tender out of your department and that's your clear 1647. Central 301. 301. Clear the page. One of the doors had burned off. We could reprodiction the crew to get in there. Go to page 1647. Okay, the front of vehicle is still fully involved. Can we pull a second line, a second line, and assign them to just cooling those bottles, just cooling those bottles through that door. All right, I have the main line cooling bottles. I'll probably get another line here to the front. Clear that. When we get a good handle in the back end, then we'll worry about the front side. Leave that go for now. Yeah, they're hitting the back of the truck with close the water. And we have a clear shot inside from there? I can't see you throw the smoke on this side. Yeah, that's affirmative. They have a clear shot right to the back. Copy that. I do hear some have a state that can hear high pressure release in there. I just make sure if we can keep that crew out of the smoke if we can. All right, we're going to get a second whole lot post line here in a minute, but we are having some water issues at this point. Fair enough. 1911, where are you going to refill? 1311, 1312 is at station 2 if you need more resources. 13-1, 1911. We're going to go set up a hydrant over at Twins in Whalen. There, Matt. I can't see through this mold. Do we have 12 and 13 on that left side of this? That's a primitive way of fall 13 and the Fedron. 911's or 301 on firegrounds. 301, go ahead. Central 953, Nancy. William Base from 1901 on private. Will you let me know when you cross the vision so I have an ETA where you're at and where we're going to need you. 9.53 on scene 1515. Clear on it. We still have the vehicle itself fully involved, we're still working on the contents.
