00:00
Yeah, we're about 2 min out for your incident,
00:02
Highway 37 and Atherton.
00:05
You have any assignment?
00:09
Yeah, make your access.
00:11
If you're coming from the east on 37 into the 101 corridor, continue to the southbound 101 on-ramp.
00:23
We got active fire and we got a job for you down here.
00:28
Yeah, 4th copies.
00:35
Chief 60,
00:38
I see.
00:43
Go ahead.
00:46
You'll be Division Hotel.
00:48
You got 1563 and Engine 61 working for you.
00:54
Copy, Division Hotel.
01:00
X-ray 63.
01:04
Go for X-ray.
01:08
X-ray from 63.
01:09
Forward progress is stopped in that gore point from 1563.
01:14
The active fire is where the power line is.
01:17
I know it's going to let that burn, but that is exactly where the power line is.
01:20
So I'm going to consider it hot.
01:26
I copy. If you're in contact with them, let them know that this line over here is slipping and this line may come down.
01:31
It's pulling one of the cross braces off of the pole where it's attached.
01:38
Copy. Let the IC know too because there's a lot of crews working in the 101 gore point and that's where those lines are going across and if they drop, it's going to be right there where they're at.
01:51
Copy break.
01:52
I see X-ray on Tac 4.
01:55
Go ahead, X-ray.
01:58
We have a line attached to our pole.
02:00
One of the cross braces is starting to fail and that line is slipping down.
02:03
So just let crews in that area know that we have a line that may come down.
02:11
Boulevard is the line that spans over both off-ramps from 37 and 101 and then further goes over that gore point into the area where they're working on that eastbound 37 off.
02:22
Copy.
02:24
Break. Division Hotel, I see.
02:28
Go ahead.
02:32
So if you heard that traffic from X-ray, we are concerned that we have another line that might come down directly over the area where we have the active fire and the southbound 101 side.
02:43
Just advise your crews.
02:47
Copy, we see it.
02:53
ICX Ray on Tac 4.
02:54
If you've had contact with PG&E, can you advise them to send a rep to our location? See if they can assess this pole and maybe get that line down before it falls.
03:04
Copy.
03:09
We're in from the IC.
03:11
First detail for PG&E will be
03:15
for Novato Boulevard at the on-ramp to 101.
03:24
Side and west side spot, your only open sections off in the, I believe it's the X-ray side.
03:40
X-ray 63.
03:46
Three six three.
03:52
Okay.
03:55
All right, I got that power pole that's now involved in fire into the youth group.
04:02
Nothing that's sagging.
04:04
I was just getting everyone out of there.
04:09
Copy. Confirming that fire is surrounded by roads.
04:11
It's not going to go anywhere.
04:14
With this wind, I'm assuming we're going to get a spot fire back into the core point that's untouched with all the power lines in it, and where you guys just were, but the power pole is now affected and running up to the lines.
04:29
Okay, I've got eyes on that core point.
04:30
There is already a spot in there I can see.
04:33
It is surrounded by roads too, so I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue unless it gets in these very bushes.
04:42
Boulevard, I see Marin.
04:47
101 and I open.
04:48
We have 1 and 2, northbound 101.
04:53
Vision Charlie copies, 1 and 2 open, northbound side.
04:56
Break. I see you can cancel the request for the crew on the east side.
05:00
No need.
05:05
Copy. I'll take 1592.
05:07
Have them come in on South Novato Boulevard.
05:14
Copy. And additionally, to clarify that 1st PG&E detail,
05:18
did they still need to check in or they're checking in there currently?
05:26
I see extra priority traffic.
05:27
We just had that power line drop.
05:29
Just checking on the crews on hotel.
05:34
Yeah, affirmative, just on.
05:36
Hotel, did you see the power lines came down?
05:40
Yeah. Hey, affirmative.
05:41
Get PG&E on scene.
05:48
ICV advised the power line you guys saw drop was PG&E cutting off over here at the 37 on.
05:57
Copy.
06:02
Confirm you have direct contact with the PG&E representative?
06:09
Affirm, we just got a phone call with him and advised our needs.
06:14
Copy.
06:20
Water tender 1592 Marin.
06:25
I mean, the six three, they're cutting lines again towards you.
06:30
X-ray copies.
06:36
B ten four.
06:40
Ten four, good.
06:45
Six three from X-ray, I'm back out the four.
06:48
Go ahead.
06:52
From your vantage, the left side of the 37 eastbound off on the Gorp one on your left.
06:58
Is that a spot or is that just going to do that drainage?
07:02
Right now it's just in the drainage, but it's sitting at Grove right now and it's going to spot into this thing.
