Engine 29, grass fire, District 22, 9617 Sandy Court. Engine 29, Operations A6. Arson 24, grass fire, District 22, 9617 Sandy Court. Arson 24.

Firefighters report decreased fire activity and plan to use better nozzles for extended reach.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:13
Yeah, it's pretty thick, but I don't see any fire activity right now. If we make our way up, we're going to get some better nozzles on here for a longer reach. But right now, the activity's died down quite...

Additional personnel are being directed to assist with manpower in the thick brush area.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:23
908. It's just pretty thick, though, to get through there. Copy that, I'll get 36 guys on that, and then I will redirect 332 down to you for manpower. Affirm. Send them down for manpower. There's an area that 332, if you drive down, right before 322, you can turn around, aim out, so you can get out of here easily, and then from there, you can just assist us, manpower. We won't use your engine.

Crews are focusing efforts on the right flank, which shows some light activity.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:24
You know, I really haven't orientated this yet. We can call it, we'll call the heat down where you're at. So, down river is left flank, and right flank will be up river. Copy that. So, from we're looking up at you, we're going to call the right flank the area that I'm seeing of concern, where it's kind of, it's not moving, but it's the only area that's really light here and there. So, if you can hit that.

Firefighters are requesting additional personnel to manage the mid-area of the fire.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:12
We would need them for manpower at this point. We see some of this mid-area lighting off. Can you see that section? If you're looking at it from your side, are we calling...

Firefighters are coordinating with park officials to establish a water supply for hard-to-reach areas.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:31
Command 535, he's talking with State Park, 2nd Relay. I just want to clarify, your objective says 322 or Engine 22 will be a point of contact for any operations off the bike trail, and he's got you working for him. And objectives are to establish some sort of water supply and hit the inaccessible areas from your location down there. And then just let me know any other needs that you might have. I do have Engine 32 staging. Copy that.

Firefighters are using two nozzles to manage the fire, covering approximately 400 feet.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:08
Approximately 400 feet. We have two nozzles running. Copy.

Additional water resources are requested to assist in controlling the fire from below.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:09
Probably get most of it here, but we definitely need some water down below. Command 534, your time is 322.

Firefighters report the fire covers about one acre with a slow spread. Progress has been stopped at the head.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:31
Command, Engine 36. Go ahead. Getting a little better view on this. It's about one acre, slow rate of spread. We've stopped progress at the head. We just need to get in down below for the lateral progress. Committee copies, I got 22 down there. I'm going to let them get in place and let me know their resource needs. Copy that. We've got two hose lines on. Now we're just going to lob it over.
Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:23
38 Captain, 36 Captain, I'm going to come around to the north side of that draw. Are you good on hose there, or do you just need the Y? We're good on hose, just the Y and maybe a nozzle. I'm almost to you without a nozzle. Let me turn back to the nozzle. You're good, 38. Firefighter has it.

Firefighters are using a bike trail to access the fire and set up a pumping platform.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:14
Engine 22 command, you copy that traffic and assignment? Yeah, to the Black Meyers Bar via my trail, tried to hit it from below. Our experience is from Snowberry with the water supply, you can get some good water up from up top.
Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:22
make access and work your way up the bike trail. We'll be using you as a pumping platform down there to hit this side of the bluff with, uh, sounds like we've done this before. Either a, uh, Ram XD or a deck gun is helpful. 38-36, ready for water.

Crews are planning a fire attack from both below and at the top of the ridge.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
to attack from below. It's just barely cresting the top of the ridge right here at the at the bluffs, but we will initiate a hose attack, or excuse me, fire attack at the at the top of the bluffs, but we did get some below too. Command copies. Let's redirect a couple type 3s down there. I'm trying to think if we can use type 3s down there, or would it be better to have a type 1 to use like a deck gun to hit the side?

Firefighters on scene are using multiple engines to manage the bush fire.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:15
All units, B15's on scene. I'll take Sandy command. Got Engine 36 and Engine 38 initiating a progressive hose layoff. They're type 1s. 36 from command. We've got a couple type 3s in back.

Firefighters are working to access the fire area.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:26
We have Sandy Court. I don't have the right now, but it's on the bluffs here in Sandy Court. Copy that. Sandy Court and Beach is going to be the updated. Copy that. Affirm. 36 and all units, be advised, this is near the bluffs, so just exercise caution and footing. It is a fence, so we're going to have to make access through a full cutter.

The address reported for this incident has changed to Beachwood Dr & Sandi Ct.

Firefighters are initiating a hose lay to control the bush fire.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:11
Looks like a fire in the bushes on the here. We are in a type 1 engine. We're going to initiate a hose lay right here. Next engine, report to Sandy Corps and support our hose lay.

Firefighters have received a report of a grass fire.

Command, Engine 36. Go ahead. Getting a little better view on this. It's about one acre, slow rate of spread. We've stopped progress at the head. We just need to get in down below for the lateral progress. Committee copies, I got 22 down there. I'm going to let them get in place and let me know their resource needs. Copy that. We've got two hose lines on. Now we're just going to lob it over.

38 Captain, 36 Captain, I'm going to come around to the north side of that draw. Are you good on hose there, or do you just need the Y? We're good on hose, just the Y and maybe a nozzle. I'm almost to you without a nozzle. Let me turn back to the nozzle. You're good, 38. Firefighter has it.

Engine 22 command, you copy that traffic and assignment? Yeah, to the Black Meyers Bar via my trail, tried to hit it from below. Our experience is from Snowberry with the water supply, you can get some good water up from up top.

make access and work your way up the bike trail. We'll be using you as a pumping platform down there to hit this side of the bluff with, uh, sounds like we've done this before. Either a, uh, Ram XD or a deck gun is helpful. 38-36, ready for water.

Crews are planning a fire attack from both below and at the top of the ridge.

to attack from below. It's just barely cresting the top of the ridge right here at the at the bluffs, but we will initiate a hose attack, or excuse me, fire attack at the at the top of the bluffs, but we did get some below too. Command copies. Let's redirect a couple type 3s down there. I'm trying to think if we can use type 3s down there, or would it be better to have a type 1 to use like a deck gun to hit the side?

We have Sandy Court. I don't have the right now, but it's on the bluffs here in Sandy Court. Copy that. Sandy Court and Beach is going to be the updated. Copy that. Affirm. 36 and all units, be advised, this is near the bluffs, so just exercise caution and footing. It is a fence, so we're going to have to make access through a full cutter.
