West Metro is sending West Metro Engine 2.

They'll be responding to Staging of 82 and Orion, and Engine 51 was asking if they can respond up.
00:53
Okay, for them coming in, I'm urgent.
00:55
Both Engine 2 and Engine 51?
00:57
Copy. Okay.

58's back here, ready to reengage here in a little bit.
01:35
Do you have any means or you need to bump out at all?
01:37
Delta corner that maybe we can access as well.
01:39
Wildland 2 from command.
01:40
There's a bunch of debris along the fence line of the house that's on fire.
01:44
We're just working on that. Wildland 2.
01:45
Okay, I think you're the deepest engaged.
01:47
So keep me posted if you need me to have them come in and help you with anything.
01:50
Copy, we'll do. I got two type 1-1 engines in-r-r-R-57.
01:55
Company has to be back in-rout to you.
01:56
Can you put another two-and-a-half in service as big range to you?
02:00
Rest Group from Alpha.
02:01
I think the two inch and three quarters are probably plenty for the time being, but if we brought it up, we'll use it.
02:07
I copy tower 57 coming up as well.
02:09
If I could get drinking water when there's an opportunity.
02:13
Okay, copy, I'll have Tower 57, stretch two and a half, dry to you.
02:16
That way it's there when you need it.
02:18
And we do have relief coming in.
02:20
I'll get you some more.
02:21
And Tower 57 from Wildland 2, if you can come up the Delta side of the building outside of that fence area, that'll be better access to the 2.5.
02:28
Waldline 2, engine 8, recommending engine 8 and potentially engine 17, get a recycling.
02:36
Yeah, affirm two crews are coming.
02:39
Man, Agent 51.
02:41
Man, engine 51. Man, engine 51.
02:42
Wildland 2.
02:43
Wildland 2, go ahead.
02:45
I have thrown footage with IR capabilities here.
02:48
Is that going to help as far as where these hotspots are?
02:52
I'm sorry, you have what with IR capabilities?
02:53
A drone in the air above you.
02:56
You need to see that footage and won't help with finding where these hotspots are.
03:00
I'll come take a look but I have the feeling this building is just so compartmentalized that we're just not finding our way into the right room.
03:08
Okay, copy.
03:09
Dispatch west metro engine two.
03:10
Planage at 51.
03:11
Go ahead.
03:12
Yeah, Chief, do you want to send a staging or into the structure fire directly?
03:15
We're not to the Wildland Fire.
03:17
Do you have a staging location and a separate staging radio channel?
03:22
We're going to need your manpower.
03:24
I'm going to check in at staging in Eighty-second and Orion.
03:26
Try to find you a place to park and then we'll walk on up.
03:30
I copy, report to staging and then we'll be on foot into the structure.
03:34
So it's from before, about a fire attack three bank on channel 9.
03:37
You're going to be staging at 80 second in a lion.
03:40
That's 82nd in a lion.
03:41
VINZEN-2-20-0-9, thank you.
03:43
No problem, 525.
03:44
You're making a difference.
03:45
It's coming down. You're less than 100, less than 100.
03:47
300 degrees at the Bravo side.
03:49
We just vended it.
03:50
Wildland 2.
03:51
Flyland 2. Yeah,
03:54
the alpha side of that structure to the west.
03:55
I'm calling Alpha South.
03:57
We've vented the first floor from the Bravo side, and now we're getting greater smoke production on the Charlie Delta corner.
04:03
Working on repositioning that line.
04:04
When Power 57 comes up, we should be able to put that two and a half in service there.
04:08
Copy. Chau 57 is stretching a two and a half there coming to what you're calling the Alpha Side.
04:13
Engine 51 staging, park right there behind that sheriff's truck.
