Ladder 1.
02:46
Are you able to get water in the man home?
02:54
We're getting water in the Cod Hole now.
02:57
Okay, we're trying to watchport coming out the bottom. We don't see it, so I don't have to bridge it up or what, but keep flowing it in a manhole.
03:04
Okay.
03:10
We're going to 515, what's your status?
03:14
Over here, it's Quad 511.
03:21
Ladder 101, can you stretch on out, shut your water off, stretch on out, look in that hole and see what you can see or can you get that far?
03:33
I can probably get close enough to it. Okay, it appears that it may be bridged over about 10 feet down because the water's squirting out.
03:40
And I just broke loose, there's spring coming out the bottom again, so it might have gave loose and it's flowing out now, but we can't tell from here.
03:48
If you want a full cut on the opposite side on top, I can do that.
03:52
This kind of just case well again.
03:54
The whole thing supposedly is just open. There's no center core in it.
04:00
So if we get it all flown out the bottom, we'll have it.
04:04
That's why I was wondering if you could get there to where you can look down in the hole and see what's going on, but there may be too much smoke and steam.
