I'm going to get a recall a little bit north.
00:01
There's another trail that comes off in.
00:02
Maybe you could access point in Forestry.
00:05
That's right.
00:06
We're in a hole site on crossing the tracks, since we don't have confirmation of anything.
00:10
Any turn 21?
00:12
I'm sorry, I stopped on.
00:13
Do you have transmission?
00:14
That's affirmative.
00:15
It's an adult patient.

00:24
City of 14,
00:26
thank.
00:29
Go ahead. Are you warning law enforcement to completely stop traffic in the direction?
00:35
Negative. If they could shut down the inside or the outside lane on the shoulder, just have people take the inside lane towards the medium, that would give the operator, or the crews operating on 301, some safety.
00:44
Matt Dave, just shut down the southbound outside line on the shoulder.
00:47
Echo one.
00:49
Echo one.
00:50
Just re-verify this to 29 Delta slash 8, Charlie.
00:56
For a 62-3-O-in command?
00:59
First 62.
01:00
You got that ranger right next to you.
01:01
Have them relocated over here to my location and right off of 147419-29-223, I believe, was a numerical.
01:10
Next to see you.
01:15
Just take the 2-3-1 command.
01:17
Okay.
01:18
The location of all 1474 is going to be a way better access point.
01:22
You can actually get kind of deep in the woods and I can see the smoke from where the fire is at north.
01:27
I think we have one structure over here.
01:29
It might be better.
01:30
Let's send the Flake Brush 62 where they're at.
01:34
Let's send the other brush trucks towards the location.
01:37
Fort, you should be heading to the location.
01:39
This is what we talked about earlier.
01:41
That's affirmative command engine 40 staged upon 1474 just outside of the pig trail.
01:48
I'm going to hop on brush 40 and head down that way.
01:55
Go ahead, Rens, 62.
01:57
Go ahead, 662.
02:00
Recount showed a gate north of our location on that little trail.
02:04
If they can open that gate, it's a straight shot down, especially for the Dozer.
02:07
You may even be able to widen that up where we can get brush trucks down there if needed.
02:11
Looks like it's going to be a good access point.
02:13
It runs parallel to the track, so it should run straight through it.
02:16
Yeah, that's affirmative.
02:18
It is wide-depth for brush trucks to access now, so if we can get that day.
02:22
I'm at the structure trying to make contact with the residents.
02:26
Mr. Steve, I think we can probably relocate all the units that are on 301 as far as just stays on the side of 301 just to get them out of traffic.
