All right, both lines are running right now.
00:07
Okay, I've got me, thank you.
00:14
One way, shut one of them down in its cavity.
00:18
Which one you want to be shut, not behind?
00:22
Just keep one inch and three-quarter going.
00:24
Don't run both.
00:28
108, you're good.
00:29
We can shut it down with a nozzle.
00:33
All right now with the trash line.
00:38
You don't have to shut anything down if you're running boats off the trash line.
00:42
We'll shut it over here and we won't flow off the one.
00:49
Morning, three, are you ready for water?
00:53
Yes, sir, good.
00:54
If you're ready to send the one, go ahead and send it.
00:58
The next tanker, we're going to try to break his line in the middle.
01:01
We'll back him down and hope directly to me.
01:05
Okay.
01:06
Sending it now.
01:16
All right, one can put that second one back in service.
01:24
Alpha Tide, I'm going to send you water.
01:31
Alpha Tides, direct.
01:38
Waterway, do you know water?
01:44
Tanger 21, water supply supply.
01:50
Okay, after you're filled up, three parts of a tanked house.
01:56
Okay, after you're filled up, go ahead and break that hydrant down.
02:01
We're going to move to a field site near Martin's Lane, so just bring all the stuff back with you.
02:10
That's hard after that.
02:14
That way the deputies won't have to be up there anymore.
02:22
The only line going right now is the trash line.
02:29
I copy.
02:31
One oh you got water, so blow them.
02:35
Okay, I'm gonna open up the other one.
02:36
Okay, I'm gonna open up the other one.
02:39
It's one at three, half a thing.
02:43
I got him.
02:48
807, the line you've got to run into the opposite side, redirect them.
02:52
We've got a good open hole to the basement now without an interior attack.
02:57
And we're spraying it from there to help out.
03:01
Okay, where do they need to go?
03:04
They're moving now.
03:08
Engine 23 quarter.
03:12
Okay.
03:14
Running in, y'all keep flowing everything.
03:17
How is that, I'm going to shut you down until we get some more water.
03:20
It's going to be a couple minutes, everybody.
03:22
I'm going to break down where I can hook your tankers directly to me.
03:27
Jamie, if you can hold on a second, keep alpha flow.
03:31
Shut down 21 if you need to for a second, let us get some of the fire.
03:34
It's on the back side of the structure down first.
03:37
All right, water's coming back.
03:38
I'm going to shut down.
03:40
Engine 21, so shut your intake, 108.
03:45
I'm showing my head, we're off my tax.
03:52
Command, water supply.
03:55
Okay, ma'am, water supply.
03:56
Okay,
04:00
ma'am. All right, stand by.
04:01
23.
04:02
We're done with water.
04:04
We're going to start breaking the slide down.
04:11
How's it?
04:14
Command, War Supply.
04:17
We've moved the field site to near Martin's Lane to get the trucks out of the road.
04:23
It's okay with you relay the hammer so they can let the deputies know they can clear up.
04:31
Okay, I copy Hammers for you direct.
04:35
No, sir.
04:39
So you let the deputies know, we're moving the field site to Martin Lane.
04:43
They should be able to clear up, I don't think we don't need them at that, so sorry.
04:49
Temporan, before we want to advise on patrol wanted, he was direct.
04:55
Copy, thank you.
04:57
Command all units operating on the fire ground.
04:59
Be careful some of the roadways start to get ice on it.
05:02
Anything red on the ground started to freeze in a couple of spots.
05:11
108. I'm going to send water back to you.
05:13
Just flow one inch of three-quarter.
05:18
I'm right. One channel is gonna keep that, you're doing out this day, quiet down, running.
05:26
It's just a track down on the room for right now.
05:30
Okay, drumming and Shannon are up there on top.
05:33
I've moved to the Broadway side for...
05:35
Get them moved over.
05:42
107 and we should have the corner yet?
05:44
I got my gate, sir.
05:49
Hey there, so you're seeing water on the alpha side.
05:57
I can't have it right now.
06:03
If you want to shut down that inch and three-quarter,
06:07
I can try to see if I can supply just a little bit of pressure, I probably can't give them flow pressure on that alpha side.
06:18
I was out, I'm going to send you some, like I said, it's probably going to be a little more, but I'll see what I can do.
06:25
Simple.
06:30
All you all start flowing, so I can see what I can do.
06:34
One forty seven, just be a five.
06:40
We're going to be right where you're spraying.
06:42
More up. Just be careful.
06:46
One point is down struck.
06:52
The house is hiding offload.
06:55
Ten four, we're good right now.
06:58
All right.
07:04
Another one, we got a grain in, but it'll take a couple minutes.
07:20
Well, Scott, I've locked, water.
07:27
Yeah, tenfold, just shut your intake.
07:30
I'll get you enough to get some back in your pump,
07:33
but we're going to try to keep this two and a half on the front going.
07:41
807, you need to shut down and help the side.
07:43
We're good, we get the fire back down.
07:49
Command, Chief One.
07:53
I think the best thing to do with this supply line is to roll it,
08:01
take it back to the station on a pickup and pack it later,
08:07
because if we don't suck the air out, it's not going to go back on the truck.
