We just had a 1012M come in to the PD here,
00:03
reporting there's someone about a mile north of Bridgewater on 436 that's got a pile of junk in the ditch that sounds like a pretty good raging fire.
00:17
He said it's right underneath the power lines,
00:20
tires and all kinds of stuff, and he stopped, and the guy was jumping more stuff on it with his skid loader.
00:26
Do you want me to just fund the fire department up there? We didn't have any controlled burns. I guess his complaint or concern was the power line.
00:34
Yeah, I just circled around. It's definitely not by power lines. I'm not really sure where that came from.
00:44
I'm going to try and get a hold of the city and see if they have notice of anything.
00:49
Right now it's just on tires and stuff, but it is a good pile of junk. So I have an area trying to figure it out.
00:58
10-4 and if you talk to the 10-12[1] I'm doing that, would you let him know that it's helpful if they call that in so we don't send the fire department out there? It's really just a controlled burn.
