00:08
As of right now, we have a tight turn to get in.
00:14
I can get a row on it.
00:29
By one, command to go ahead. It's about 40 feet wide and 10 feet high. It is burning.
00:58
We are not coming out there to do something about it.
01:00
We are not going down there.
01:02
Unless it's endangering property or a house,
01:06
we're not taking our equipment or men down there.
01:10
Is there a name on that construction dozer or anything?
01:15
I'll get that for you, there is.
01:20
You can call them, tell them to get out there and cover it up.
01:24
We're not doing it.
01:33
I'm clear.
01:35
12 to dispatch.
01:38
Do you copy that direct from 1301?
01:41
That's correct.
01:42
Are we going to use the Lower Mill Road or the Boy Scout address?
01:47
I would use the Boy Scout address.
01:50
It's a lot flatter.
01:52
We just can't get an engine down that road.
01:54
I would use the Boy Scout address.
01:56
Get pollution control out here.
01:57
Let them see what they want to do with it.
01:59
If they want to put it out, get forestry out here.
02:03
Recease.
02:07
Communications 13-on-1.
02:16
One of your guys was going to contact APCV, or do you want me to?
02:22
I just checked the command there.
02:24
I think there's a name of that company on the side.
02:27
That's who they need to call and come out there right now.
02:32
Equipment up and covering up with dirt.
02:34
That's what they're supposed to be doing anyway.
02:38
Correct. I copy it.
02:44
I'm in advance.
02:50
If any company, I can try that, it's not,
02:53
Get the guys out of there.
02:56
We're not going to spend a lot of time down here.
02:59
We'll have pollution patrol come down.
03:05
You didn't find any company names or anything?
03:09
No, not on the dozer here.
03:11
There's another one I'm going to check on the way out other than that.
03:18
Squat too,
03:24
Go ahead.
03:26
It looks like at this point you can go ahead and return the service.
03:29
We're going to be getting in service here pretty quick.
03:31
We're going to turn this over to somebody else.
03:34
I'm clear. Squad two, show me back in service.
03:38
Back is...
03:44
Near Boy Scout Road. Yes,
03:47
sir, that's great.
03:51
Command Dispatch.
03:57
Go ahead and send Air Pollution Control to that address and see if you can get a forestry supervisor or somebody to come out.
04:04
We're not going to be able to get down to this thing,
04:07
but it's going to need to be put out.
04:08
We can't find any company names responsible or anything like that, but get somebody coming to put this thing out.
04:15
Appreciate.
04:18
The forestry, they will need a dozer for that road.
04:21
It's going to be muddy down there.
04:24
We see.
04:29
Command advance.
04:33
Go ahead.
04:35
You guys okay down there?
04:39
Yeah, we're good.
04:40
We're coming up.
04:43
Okay, come on out of there as soon as you can.
04:48
I see a house when you get down to the base of the fire, but I'm trying to pin it.
04:57
We've got that address.
04:58
Squad 2 found it.
04:59
We've already got that address, but we can't get from there to where you're at.
05:04
We're going to have forestry come out and air pollution control, and they can deal with it for 1301.
05:13
Yeah, I'm sure.
05:14
Drags this on.
05:20
Let's just come in.
05:23
Go ahead, sir.
05:27
So on my map, near Boy Scout Road, it looks like a very long driveway, but it looks paved.
05:32
So where were you trying, do you know where your people are trying to access from?
05:37
That's correct.
05:39
That driveway is paved, but at the end there's a fire break, basically a dozer road that goes back into the woods, which is where the fire is actually at.
05:49
Off Hampton Woods,
05:52
but we can't get apparatus down past the address that we gave you.
05:56
They can go to that address and then use that fire break to access the fire.
06:02
Resey, thank you.
06:03
I just want to make sure I understood what was going on.
06:07
Yeah, that's the address is good.
06:10
That's the straightest, flattest route for them to get in there, but we cannot access from right there.
06:14
It's too far into the woods.
06:22
Command to 13-1.
