03:02
Move in, state of South Fork Road.
03:04
And Alder, you'll see our level two staging.
03:09
Break, 803.
03:13
803, good.
03:20
Road, I think we're going to have to sign another access.
03:32
That road up Wash Creek.
03:36
I still haven't been able to get a hold of 822 to get 841, so they're not even in route yet.
03:43
I was able to confirm there is a cabin up this road that you guys are heading up.
03:51
I just got to the cabin.
03:53
There is no fire.
04:01
I've located the fire.
04:03
It is up that road.
04:04
The only access is going to be 841.
04:07
I believe 842 might even be too wide.
04:16
Like,
04:18
Should we try getting in there or is it for sure not wide enough?
04:25
The negative, 803 is not going to fit. It's really wide before a drop-off. Correction, it's really narrow before a drop-off.
04:35
I wouldn't think 803 is a good idea.
04:42
The only thing I can do, I guess, would be to stand us down and go back and get an accident.
04:48
I can't get a hold of anyone else.
04:54
I was told from 8.2 that 841 is en route.
05:00
A four-wheel or side-by-side might be a good idea to get some personnel up here.
05:09
If you can put one of the deputies in Unit 4 to come back and get personnel, we can write up with them with some tools and start to, let's start working.

05:44
The cabin is fully burned to the ground.
05:48
There's some small flames.
05:49
I don't believe a big fire truck is going to get through here.
05:52
Or even a tender.
06:06
47 on Holly 1.
06:08
Myself in 851 is going to be relocating down to the bottom of the hill to pick up and transport some fireperson help of the scene so we can at least get more bodies on the scene.
