Engine 541, Engine 1, 317. 541. Hey Jeff, on your way out, see to the right of where the 317's parked, there's that concrete pad. There is a pile of debris there. Looks like a little bit of flame come from a campfire if you want to excuse me on your way out. Okay, yeah, I see it. I'll get that on the way out. Thank you.

Firefighters are keeping some units on standby due to recent fires in the area. No suspects identified yet.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
Battalion 13, 541. That's up to you. We don't really need them unless they really have a burning desire to come out here. Yeah, I think they're happy to help. If they're on the road, immobilize them, keep them just for a little bit. There's been a handful of other fires in the area, so just keep employees out there. You cancel them when you're done with them. Okay, I copy. Thank you. And then lastly, any need for arson, any suspects?

According to firefighters, the fire's forward progress has stopped at a quarter acre. Additional units are being released.

Copy, Proctor 2 reporting forward progress stops at a quarter acre. Those are one released.

Firefighters have sufficient resources on scene and are releasing additional units.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:31
Command 541. Go ahead. Just face-to-face with Captain off 317. We're both comfortable. 317 and 541 can handle this. If everyone else wants to, do you want to release them? Copy. Do you want to take 114's water and I'll release them when you guys get? We're good. We have 117's type 1 here as well as hydrant out here on Watt. Do you want the check? Negative. You can release it. Thank you. 10-4.

Water Tender 112, grass fire, District 112, 2 Street and Wood Avenue. Water Tender 112, Operations A6.

Firefighters are coordinating with arson investigators due to the fire's location and history of incidents in the area.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:26
Yeah, Battalion 13, Engine 42. We're at incident 7316, 34th. They said there's two known homeless people. They said they've called 28 times this year from multiple fires. So, I would assume it's right next to their camp. It's probably them again. Okay, I'll handle contact and arson just based on the history there. I thought it was the same area, so I'll make contact with arson.

Firefighters have stopped the fire's spread on the west side, with no structures currently threatened.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:21
Command 541. Go ahead. Just confirming what the copter said, no structures threatened. We've stopped the fire on the east or the west flank. Working A with 317. We should have this wrapped up here in about one minute. Copy that.

Firefighters report the grass fire has spread to about half an acre, moving east with the wind at a moderate rate.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:18
And units on TAC, under 2 with update. It's about a quarter to a half acre in grass with a moderate rate of spread. It's moving with the wind towards the east, towards Watt, away from home. Looks like 41 has it tapered up there next to the home. And we're going to get some water, make some drops.

Firefighters are working to contain the grass fire, which is moving toward a house but not currently threatening it.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:30
From a gate right off of Watt on the east side. Yeah, we're going to make access out to the field and mobile attack secondhand. Go ahead and take the other flank. Yeah, 541, copy, you're making access out. Do we have any structure ahead? Do we have a rate of spread?Battalion 5, 541. The fire is moving towards the house. We're going to go and take that flank. I wouldn't say it's threatened at this time.

Firefighters report a quarter-acre grass fire in the field and are working to access the area.

Sac. Metro FD Tac A6 · 0:31
All incoming units, Engine 541 is on scene. Appears to be about a quarter acre grass fire. Might be surrounded by this field. It's hard to tell. We're trying to make access into the field. At this time, we'll update with further. Battalion 30 copies, Engine 541 is on scene reporting a quarter acre. There's light flashing fuels. Do we have a rate spread with that? All incoming units, 541, we're...
