 Now let's go back and see how the IC type 5 gave her briefing and deployed her resources All right, you're three minutes are up You have all been dropped off at this point the helicopter is gone this represents the incident commander and this represents your crew and Christina, I'd like you to deliver your plan of action to the crew Okay, guys, we've all seen the fire when you flew around it. This is a squid fire just to remind you The terrain is steep. There's a creek at the bottom. We all saw that there wasn't any water on it Usable for us right now the fuel type we all saw was light pondy and There are some grass down there. So heads up the wind is going to change later on today So just make sure you keep a heads up The temperature for the weather is going to be increasing to 98 degrees The RH will be dropping to 18% from 20% and the winds are going to change from the southwest That you're seeing right now three to five to ten to fifteen to the northwest out of the Northwest and That's probably gonna occur around three o'clock, but again heads up because that grass could be tricky But we're gonna do right now My intent is for the crew three of us will Come down walk down to the bottom and anchor in at the bottom and Flank it on the right side Deb I'm gonna break you off in the crew and You are gonna go scout out this subdivision and make sure there's no people make sure everything is Has good defensible space and just come up at the plan I mean, I'm gonna be calling for engines to kind of relieve you So just come up at the plan that way we can give the strike team leader when they come Okay, okay The Escape route and safety zone Stay in the black if the safety zone is a black this escape route You it's only a one-acre fire. So you're not gonna have to run anywhere We hope so just keep black with you at all times wherever you go Deb You will need to come down scout out a safety zone for you Make sure you have a safety zone wherever you are if you feel like you're in danger Just hit that safety zone and get a hold of me on the radio as far as radios go. We have the scene of action That's what we're gonna run this fire on make sure you're scanning air to ground and Also, we have tack one when the other resources come in as far as if medical reasons occur we are going to Assess the situation we are all first responders and we'll figure out how serious this is and We'll come up a plan. Just let me know right off the bat Are there any questions so far we get down here you want us to just start punching line or Right around the bottom of it right we're gonna anchor in at the Origin of the fire and we're gonna flank on the right hand side Just to protect the subdivision right now. We are not going to worry too much on the left flank Because there's only three of us. So we're going to call in more resources To help us out when they come in they're going to flank the left. I'm going to have them flank the left and We will probably transition into type 4 at that time Squid fire. I see pleasant belly dispatch pleasant belly dispatch squid fire.
