Actually, these are going to have two spot fires in there that I can see from here.
04:20
Yeah, Glenn, I just wanted to check, do you have sufficient resources on your side that we can get an additional tanker in here for the pumper tanker in our squad?
04:31
Affirmary, that would be my goal to have tanker 73 assist on this side, and then accessing off of Darlock Road.

05:05
We're right out of the location and then we were going to head north unless you have other ideas.

05:39
Any 16 fire police on the Clay Township incident.

16 from Chief 16. What is your location and where can I meet up with you?
06:17

06:21
Accessing off of Durlock Road would be a good access.
06:25
Command 16, Tanker 21. You want us on 322 or in Durlock.
06:35
I think you would need to assist your TAC, TAC 21. Can you confirm you need a tanker there?
06:43
Yeah, if you get the field lane that comes just west of that three-way stop there, we're back in here.
06:53
Yeah, P. 14 from the 1014.
07:00
Directive hotspot, about 200 yards straight in from us.

As far as a drone,
08:21
we have to benefit.
08:29
Command 16, Tiger 73, incoming.
08:33
We have a pretty good vision on this, but it probably wasn't fair.
08:40
That fire line is just cut in from the tree.
08:44
We have a unit to go in there and work that fire line.
08:51
Tanger 73, access all the Dollock Road, the 300 block of Doilock.

09:42
Or would you come into field lane off the Clay School or off a Durlock?
09:47
I need you in all of Clay School to assist your cruise on the west side of this incident. So there's a lane there somewhere in the area view there that you can access back through to your tack.

10:04
