 Hey guys, when you get down here, we're going to pull 619 in and extend about 200 feet down towards the berth.

 There is a stump and a pretty good little mop section that's going to be just to the east of 619.

 Go ahead and tackle that when you get here.

Engine 54 from Engine 619. Go for 554. Hey guys, when you get down here, we're going to pull 619 in and extend about 200 feet down towards the berth. There is a stump and a pretty good little mop section that's going to be just to the east of 619. Go ahead and tackle that when you get here. 554 copies.

Firefighters are extending hose lines to address a hot spot near a stump east of their current position.

 660. We're going to go ahead and replace them. We have a pocket

 they originally were. We're going to drive the patrol in here and try

 and take a little of the heat out of this thing. The wind's in our favor

350. Command from Engine 619. Go ahead. We're right behind Engine 660. We're going to go ahead and replace them. We have a pocket approximately 200, 250 feet just north of where they originally were. We're going to drive the patrol in here and try and take a little of the heat out of this thing. The wind's in our favor on that side. Okay, copy that.

According to firefighters, they are replacing a crew to address a hot spot north of the original location, aided by favorable wind conditions.

Alright, all companies, this is command. I just wanted to reorient this.

 Everything appears to be to the north of the access road, so we don't have any slop over to the south.

 That makes having three divisions sort of irrelevant.

 So, Engine 10 and Engine 350, you're essentially on the left flank with 660.

 So, we'll just break this down. It's Division Bravo and X-ray.

Thank you.

Firefighters have reoriented their strategy, confirming the fire is north of the access road. Divisions have been adjusted accordingly.

 And then the perspective on this just shifted.

 I thought the bulk of this was to the north of the access road,

 and the fire mapper is showing it's actually to the south of the lower access road.

Okay, I copy. And then the perspective on this just shifted. I thought the bulk of this was to the north of the access road, and the fire mapper is showing it's actually to the south of the lower access road. Copter 1, can you confirm that?

Firefighters are reassessing the fire's location, now believed to be south of the lower access road.

Command, Battalion 7 on 4. Go ahead. Yeah, just a 360 on this thing as well, kind of reiterating what you got from the copter. That thing is upriver of Howe Avenue. So your X-ray division is going to be access from Oscar from the heel. It's the only access for that.

Firefighters confirm the fire is upriver of Howe Avenue, with access for one division from the heel.

Looks like the limit of the fire does not go underpass at this time, and it looks like you have crews on all sides.

 And all of them will make a good progress at this time.
