134 to command, can you update me on the situation? Yeah, we have relay pumping going on. This fire started to spread to the backside, not putting any equipment or people, directly in the smoke. So, I need a truck to get to the aerial part of this so we can start putting out the backside of this fire. So, when the truck arrives and I get a place for them, we're going to set off and start putting water on it from the truck. We're tearing apart the pile as we speak with the crane. It's just getting to the backside of it. So, we're going to need the truck.

All crews on 8. Plan will be when the truck gets here, shut it down, move the truck in so we can get to the other side of the pile of garbage on fire. Reestablish water supply, and whatever we got left, we'll give to Engine 18 and start tearing this apart, and hopefully we put it out there.
