Here, copy, Gulfite.
06:13
Crew, did you copy?
06:17
There's copies.
06:19
Somebody copies.
06:24
Thank you, crew.
06:36
Yeah, you can clear both the travel catchers.
06:42
It is within about 10 feet of the building.
06:45
We're trying to make access the building now, just make sure no gas is going inside the building.
06:51
From where we can see, it's pretty obvious that it's going straight up in the atmosphere, I think of this thing.
06:59
Copy, is it the Mollest building maybe, or do you have an address there?
07:06
I believe it is the wall of building.
07:07
I'm on the wrong side of it to get you an address.
07:10
So that was my next question.
07:11
If you've got a contact for the state,
07:15
they can send even somebody for maintenance over here with a key so we can access it to the monitor the inside.
07:24
Yeah, we'll figure it out and give someone on call.
07:30
Also, we're going to want them to shut down the HVAC system, if they are, we're pretty close to the intakes of that.
07:36
So if we can get a hold of them, that'll be some good help test.
