Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:21
Hey, can you repeat? I'm not sure what access gate you're looking for. 511, 526. It's going to be this yellow gate just on the side of Elkhorn to give access underneath the bridge to the Drag Creek bed. Has a metal, yellow big metal crossbar gate. It's apartment of water resources.
Highway patrol has arrived to assist with the grass fire incident.

Command, do you still want 325? Yeah, stand by. Engine 511. Go for 511. Yeah, I don't know how much work you have. Do you want to keep 317 and 325? I'll keep 325 at this time. You can release 317. Their type 3 is not going to make it here and do us much good.
Sac. Metro FD Command A2 · 0:12
Fire dispatch, Elkhorn command. Fire dispatch. Yeah, I'm releasing 317. There'll be AOR, hit or leave. How's the coverage issues for B5 up in the rear?

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:29
and then head eastbound on Elkhorn and offload right behind where Battalion 5 is. Pleasure 1. Command 526, if we need to get in that grass closer, we can make access through here and go down and assist them. Yeah, if you can go ahead and do that, open that gate and then take 526 up that creek bed. 26.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
3-26, command, can you check that gate behind you to see if that's going to be accessible for the dozer to offload and go under the bridge? It looks like it's, I was just down there, it looks like it will be good access. I'm just sure they're a high requirement for underneath the bridge to face with them. But there's plenty of room down here for them to offload. Copy. Dozer 1 on your arrival, you're going to probably need to make a U-turn.
Firefighters are assessing the best access point for a dozer to assist with containment efforts.
Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:23
317. Yeah, Duane, are you familiar with the best access to try to get a dozer in to this area? There's a gate behind me that goes down into this creek bed. That might be their only access, but I'm not sure if they can take the dozer under the overpass. Yeah, I'm not familiar with the access out here for the dozer on this side.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:23
325, command. 325. Yeah, I'm not sure we're going to get your type 3 down that bike trail and across. There's a bridge. So if you can just tool up and park it behind the water tender, and then go assist tools with a mop up with 511. 325.
Firefighters are coordinating equipment access through a drainage ditch to improve containment efforts.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
Command, Engine 511. Go ahead. If you look off towards that bike path, can you see my headlamp? Affirmative. Is there access to put a Type 3 or a Type 5 into this drainage ditch and drive it straight over here? I've been trying to figure that one out on the map. Also, for offloading the dozer, I'm still trying to figure it out. I believe right behind where your rigs park, they can make...

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
Command, Engine 511. Go ahead. Looks like we have forward progress stopped. We're going to transition into mopping up. There is multiple trees that are going to cause snag issues, so let's continue that dozer. If we don't need any more resources on the other side, we'll probably use a couple of P lines off of 511 to get this mop-up finished. Thank you.
Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:14
Command, Engine 30. Go ahead. We've got a good 20, 30-foot dry creek bed between us and then another 100 feet between the fire and the creek bed, so we don't need any more resources back here. I copy.

Engine 511, we have dozer 1 responding. Any need for them? Access-wise, it might be difficult for the dozer, but I believe we can use some dozer work in here.

3-26, command, can you check that gate behind you to see if that's going to be accessible for the dozer to offload and go under the bridge? It looks like it's, I was just down there, it looks like it will be good access. I'm just sure they're a high requirement for underneath the bridge to face with them. But there's plenty of room down here for them to offload. Copy. Dozer 1 on your arrival, you're going to probably need to make a U-turn.

Command, Engine 511. Go ahead. If you look off towards that bike path, can you see my headlamp? Affirmative. Is there access to put a Type 3 or a Type 5 into this drainage ditch and drive it straight over here? I've been trying to figure that one out on the map. Also, for offloading the dozer, I'm still trying to figure it out. I believe right behind where your rigs park, they can make...

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:14
Command, Engine 30. Go ahead. We've got a good 20, 30-foot dry creek bed between us and then another 100 feet between the fire and the creek bed, so we don't need any more resources back here. I copy.

That’s crazy be because the station is hella close
fernleyUser2442217005Oct 1 at 3:58 AM
it is hella close but I have seen it before where the fire trucks are locked out from being able to get on the bike trail. almost as if only one or two people have the key and the rest just scramble around until he gets there to unlock it. don't get me wrong our firemen do a great job, just sometimes it seems things could go smoother
