Copy break. 431 is responding to firefighters. Go ahead, Rescue 42, Dio. Rescue 42 Firefighter. We are in the basement and the highest ratings are down here. We got 3% down here.
00:25
Can you double check? Yeah, Patrick did. Do you add myself in Phantom Canyon to stand down? I don't know for a copy. I don't know your location, but yeah, it's just gonna be a cold trail and pop-up.
00:52
Okay, well that's up to you. I mean, if you want them to come there, I'm just crossing the North Fork of the Criter, down by the community center. They're a little bit behind me. I copy that, aren't you come in? I'll give you updates as you get closer. Okay. Um, and, is this on the handsome property? Did you go in there?
01:21
company there? I think you have radio issues, but it's not that property, it's a different private residence. It's like... Okay, yeah, and this is big, I don't have my MBS. Is it, and we access it L-37? Negative, looks like you can access it off where the call is set to. You just have to go to the south when you... Or correction. I'm not actually sure. I thought you can get to it from where the call is set to.
01:50
but he did say to go south. All right jim, the hf channel is up too loud, can you repeat that.
02:14
I know we got an address on 74E, but it was mentioned 37 and Maxwell Ranch, which is Red Mountain Road, and that's where Maxwell Ranch is. But it is down 74E towards Red Feather, correct? That's where we have the call set to. One more engine 634 did mention that you go in the driveway and go south. Where we have the call set to, that wouldn't make sense. So there must be another axis then off of 37.
02:41
Okay, yeah, it's real confusing because there's a 37 that connects ADC, Cherokee Park Road with 74E, and then 37 is Red Mountain Road, and Maxwell Ranch is up at Red Mountain Road. Okay, we're talking about the 37 off of 74E, about Maumachera 4 is where the call set to, where the call came from was still on the property of near West County Road 74E on the northeast.
03:06
side of the main residence property there, but it sounds like Ends 64 may have taken a different entrance off of 37 and 73. Copy, thank you. 960632. I just came off of 37.
03:25
Waymouth Road between 74E and ADC, and there's no access there. This should be past the Hanson Ranch is probably the Old Scottsdale Ranch. I'm right at 64. Can you clarify the location and the best access, please?
03:53
What I've taken is go to the 4E address. Go behind the barn. Engine 631 is stationed there to guide units in. And he will mark.
04:10

04:15
Can we get a greater alarm routine?
04:17
Okay, a greater alarm routine at 1415.
04:19
But the fire is south, and you will see it as you approach the address from the south.
04:26
In other words, you'll see the fire out in the second hay field, east.
04:31
It's in the second hay field east and go to the main address with the call set too.
04:36
