02:21
They said they're going to page more units out. Yes. I am eastbound 90 milepost 140. No visible trailer plate. How are you? That's a city, 1219.
02:49
and Douglas 8 does not have a run card for that specific geographical location. All they need to do is pull the nearest zone to Douglas County Fire District 8 and grab their second alarm wildland response[1], which should indicate a heavy wildland type 3s and type 6s along with water tenders[3] to that area.

trailer. I have one on a rim in the back of the service truck. Danny knows about it, but we need to scrounge up one more and then put a couple jacks in the back of that service truck. Danny's a route from East Freedom. 504. Division Alpha on North Tech One. Copy. A couple of bottle jacks. Another spare tire for that trailer.
04:18
Danny's aware, even route from you Freda.
04:21
Hey, Fram, we just don't have another spare tire on hand, so get with Danny and figure out who we can have open up to grab another tire.

Command Division Alpha.

Go ahead.

On the line with the Rivercom, they're just confirming that they did page the nearest district, which was Waterville.
04:49
They've only had one volunteer call and route.
04:53
Requesting if you want them to tone for additional districts.
04:57
Yeah, my recommendation is that we focus more on the heel closer to the canyon so we can anchor in.
05:05
So far the head's just going to peter out at the field as soon as it gets to the pile portion.
05:12
I think we should hold everybody back and let it do this thing.
05:14
Right, A-firm.
05:15
They should be able to pull Waterville's second alarm wildland response[1], and it should accumulate multiple other agencies up there.
05:25
Rocket that ain't turned to heel.
05:26
Yeah, I lost it up the hill.
05:28
It's going to run up and over.
05:29
Max, 630 B out at the scene, switching to North County, TAC 1.
05:33
Also, if they want specifics, tell them we just need type 3s, type 6s[2], and water tenders[3].
05:40
Command Division Alpha, we're currently double back and around to the north to get some better eyes on what potential we have on this side.
05:48
So far I think that's going to be our biggest potential and we're going to need to pitch it off as the north.
05:52
Back, brush 1321 and brush 1326 on scene switching attack.

Do you have any sort of information on the site or I can relate to thatless County as far as size and what's going on?
06:36
Command Division Alpha, would you like me to give the size up for them?
06:39
That's a firm.
06:40
I'm trying to do a little unify command.
06:42
It's not working too. Mack, Chief, 6301.

06:51
blew up our containment lines from earlier.
06:54
It is making a run for the west.
06:59
We do have two living structures that are our main concern.
07:03
We do have some summer follow that may give us a helping hand.
07:09
At this moment with the terrain, it is kind of a standback.
07:15
and let it come to us.
07:16
We can't get out there in the terrain and it is proxomillion an additional 60 to 70 acres.

Division Alpha.
07:38
Go ahead.
07:39
I'm going to call this 250 acres moderate to rapid rate of spread.
07:47
primary concern is going to be the northwest flank potential for 2,000 acres.
07:55
And if we can start getting all available brush trucks to start coming in where the silos are and follow the tracks down, I'll put them to work on this northwest flank for when it starts in us.

And values at risk, we do have, I'm going to call it two structures with, and that will be affected in the next 45 minutes.
08:35
Copy that, what kind of structures?
08:37
I'm only able to see from a distance looks like maybe a farmhouse.
