before you get to near South 800, there's a driveway that comes in on the north side of this property where the scales are. I don't know if you're familiar with that.

There's a hydrant on this north end, it's probably an 8 mile away from that north drive. We can lay all our LDH, the next engine end is going to have to tie in and keep moving.
02:13

Following the engine 130 on that southernmost road.
03:30
We're going to take all the line off of both of those trucks and let's for now connect to that hydrant.
03:35
So one of you say there, address that hydrant, the rest of you fall in line and let's lay all that line clear to the west as far as we can go.
03:46
Copy that, just confirming we're letting all the line on the south end of the property, correct?
03:54
Affirmative.
03:59
20 copies.
04:05
There's a bunch of this hay that's already involved and there's two loaders working currently to move the hay that is not involved. So our priority is going to be cooling down the stack that is involved and keeping it off the plastic and the other stacks to the south of what is on fire.

Hey, have you started laying your supply line in yet?
05:30
Negative, we're just pulling up on the south end by Trenton.
05:34
Okay, stop them if they haven't laid any line out. I found two irrigation risers down here and I've talked to the company and we can hook to those.
05:42
I think we could stage an engine out here and put an irrigation riser off and tie in a lot quicker.
05:50
Copy.
05:55
Right, engine 20 from command.
06:03
Go ahead for engine 20.
06:07
Okay, let's put you out here at this water supply, which would be the irrigation risers right on near South 800. I'll have you set up between the first two and start hooking your irrigation riser up, and then we'll let 1.30 go over, and we'll have it be the attack pumper, and you be supply pumper.
06:28
Copy.
06:31
Listen, command cash.
06:34

Go ahead, Tender.
07:03

07:37
Okay, sorry to complicate things here, Trev.
07:40
What we're going to do is have you guys start at the irrigation risers where 20 is going to stage.
07:45
I want you to lay a supply line from those risers and follow me around and I'll show you where to stage.
