I'll be command trucks to copy that exposure, Delta, they said it's a hoarder-type house full of newspapers, floor to ceiling.
03:02
Copy. Yeah, it's going to be plumping pretty good out of this exposure here.
03:06
We're going to get this master's room going here.
03:11
Copy. Next unit I get, we need to start it, what the Bravo exposure is.
03:21
Copy, I'm just trying to knock on the door real quick.
03:26
Yeah, you're ready for water.
03:31
A truck, the exposure, they didn't know anything about occupants, just that the house is tactical.
03:39
Walter, come in, truck.
03:41
Alright.
03:47
Yeah, truck, that was the occupant of that, Bravo.
03:49
We don't know about the delta exposure, as far as occupants.
03:58
County, yeah.
03:59
I'm just having him get his animals out.
04:11
Rikon, we haven't been American on the way yet.
04:25
Truck 31 from the district, or from command, do I need engine 32 to go around, actually, to the north to your engine, to pump up to you?
04:35
I don't know if these are on the same name, but no, we're hooked in and we're going to get this aerial going.
04:40
I'd like to get into the rear of these structures and take a look from the rear.
04:45
Engine 32, direct.
04:50
32, direct.
04:51
Do you want our engine in the rear or both of us?
04:55
Yeah, I don't think you're gonna need your engine, I would just put it up on, I think that's gonna be 15th Avenue,
05:03
and then walk down the alley just to get a look from the back.
05:08
Copy, we're gonna be repositioning from 18th.
05:15
Truck from command.
05:16
For now it's in the...
05:20
Mutual aid units just probably staged on 18 and just need manpower for the moment.
05:27
Correct, we're just going to need manpower.
05:29
I'm going to get over to this next exposure, which is going to be near West 7th Street.
05:34
We're going to have to get them out of here unless we're already out, but the original exposure delta, it's cutting pretty good.
05:43
Copy.
05:49
I'm on, rescue is on the Delta, rescue is on Delta.
05:56
We have the entire back of the exposure completely and am I free to put water on it from the back side?
06:08
District Brahma truck.
06:16
Go ahead, truck for command.
06:19
Rescue us wants to know if they can start hitting.
06:22
Delta from the back.
06:25
Yeah, I would get over the, yep, they just got it on the back there, but let's go ahead and set up an operation on the back side of this in the alley.
06:32
I'm just walking back to the alley.
06:34
I think we can go ahead and get Engine 32 down here, and they can operate safely in the alley.
06:38
It's a wide alley, so let's get a water source and Engine 32 staged to the back here.
06:43
And we'll get some utility companies to help them.
06:48
Copy. 132 direct you can pull down there.
06:52
Bowling mentioned that this pulled up, we're going to have you on the reposition, and I've just seen you visually.
06:59
Going to head towards 11th Street alley just past my rig, and I'm going to find you up.
07:09
Looks like your best water source will be on 12th, that we were not crossing 18th ahead, if we don't have to.
07:18
Command, Ninja 11, I understand you want us on 12.
07:26
Water supply to Engine 32, it just went down the alley.
07:31
Temper.
07:34
District from truck, we've got six people accounted for.
07:37
This is going to be the second exposure delta.
07:41
They're all accounted for, they're all out of the house.
07:47
Copy all accounts.
07:48
Accounted for, that should be in all three structures.
07:55
The district from truck, I didn't catch, is one of these vacant the original firehouse?
08:02
Yes,
08:06
it is unoccupied.
08:07
The single person that's normally there is supposed to be at work, according to the brother.
08:13
Copy, we're going to go ahead and put the master stream on the original fire, if you're okay with that.
08:18
I'm going to notify crews on the ground here.
08:21
Copy, I'm still getting board set up.
08:25
I'm going to send District 41 up there also to assist you here.
08:32
Copy, can you send District 41 to the rear instead of operations in the rear? I think that'd be more helpful.
08:37
If I can take the front here, he can take the rear.
08:41
Copy, I'll face face with him.
08:42
He'll be making his way back there.
08:47
Command 32.
08:49
We're moving down the alley right now.
08:51
Truck, just be advised when you start to put that mane up.
08:54
I just want to make sure we're not getting hit by it.
08:58
Copy. McDermott, are you direct on that? Don't overshoot the house and go to the alley.
09:02
Happy. All crews on the front of the structure, we're going to open the master's stream on the original firehouse, so just step back a little bit, and let's focus on the exposure house.
09:12
Go ahead, truck with the aerial.
09:15
Thank you.
