Well, we've got a pretty good fire going in the ditch here. It looks like a transformer.
00:05
A couple of transformers might have exploded off the power line.
00:08
The transformers have fallen off the power line are laying in the ditch and fully involved.
00:17
All right. So the building itself is not on fire. It's the transformers that were on the pole behind the building. Is that correct?
00:26
That's correct. It's behind the building on the other side of the tracks.
00:30
It's not quite encroaching on the rail cars behind there.
00:34
All right, receive.
00:39
All right, too, from Engine 8.
00:43
Go ahead, Engine 8.
00:49
All right, where are the wires that we're laying down?
00:58
Other side of the tracks, not on mark, I don't know, whatever street's behind it, and they're laying down, uh, they're laying across the rail car.
01:06
All right now.
01:09
All right, we're going to put a couple of dry-cons, see if we can knock this fire down, without using any water.
01:18
Also, uh, the alarm inside the building is still going off, possibly from the smoke from this. We haven't not gone into investigate yet.
01:25
All right, received.
01:31
Italian to Quinn 8th approaching the scene. You guys want us to go to the back of the building from another street.
01:44
I got eyes on it from what would be the southeast corner of Kirk.
01:49
And then I got Engine 8 that's on the opposite side of the building. So I would say marry up with Engine 8 right now just to see what they're going to need.
02:00
Received.
02:03
We beg you with the adjutant.
02:08
Received. 0.7 from command.
02:15
Go ahead.
02:17
You just make sure there's nothing going on inside of Kirk, please.
02:23
The 1301 Marks for the address?
02:26
I'm sorry, yes, please.
02:29
Okay, we'll hide in there.
02:36
Engineated from commitment, how's it going there?
02:38
All right, we've got to make Cesar deploy, we're going to do more now.
02:53
If there's no need, if it's not opposing anything,
02:57
and we're not worried about it starting anything else in fire,
03:01
we can also keep distance and just keep an eye up to need,
03:05
especially down ultra-cold stuff.
03:07
I mean,
03:10
if it comes to a point where we just got to let this thing burn itself out, I'm all right with that, as long as it's not getting on any buildings or anything.
03:18
Okay, received, yeah, what's that connect for the gaugions. 2.8 for measurement.
03:32
Traffic for the quit.
03:38
Ambulance aid sent it back to your location to grab some more drive-thender extinguishers.
03:47
They're hard to read. I'm walking back.
03:54
And everyone's sevens on the same stage. We need for assignment.
04:02
Tired, Amy, seven. Uh,

Ninja 10 also on the scenes.
04:08
Stage that likely, Mark.
04:11
Appreciate.
04:17
Good.
04:23
Looks like the breaker, one of the breakers on the pole,
04:27
just west of the firehead trip.
04:29
Looks like the rest of them on the other side are still live. It's up to you whether you want to contact comment and have them shut down power over here or not. Yeah, I put in a request for a comment to make their way out here.

I'm just waiting on an update.
04:43
