How do they go to school the other day? They're still in touch.
00:05
School's done.
00:06
They have banned.
00:07
They have banned.
00:08
They have for school care.
00:10
And that two are typically getting out of the school now.
00:14
We're up in the top level.
00:15
We have one more kid with us.
00:16
We're getting him downstairs and then we should be good up here.
00:21
The whole upper level is going to be blown out.
00:23
It's 30 across the whole upper level.
00:27
I'm going to agree with this one of that just to get a tough more fan.
00:32
Copy.
00:33
Yeah, based on our readings up here, that probably wouldn't hurt.
00:38
Eventually, Chief, we're going to probably need a fan at both doors.
00:43
one of the east side of the school, one of the west side of school, and just blowing through.
00:48
I'd have to make it away a little bit.
00:52
All three, fellow.
00:55
Go ahead.
00:56
Uh,
00:58
Grimm's coming.
01:00
Uh, are you need to ventilate that entire building over there?
01:05
And that's going to be affirmative.
01:07
The upper levels, we're around 40, parts per million.
01:11
The second level isn't too bad,
01:14
and in the basement is pretty heavy.
01:16
We are just finishing up walking the top two levels.
01:19
We're going to get out of here.
01:21
We're going to head down to the basement and check the boiler room.
01:24
And then we'll meet back up with you guys at some point.
01:28
All right, I think we need one more engine.
01:31
I'd prefer if I had many fans and I like that whole thing.
01:36
All right. Also, NIPSCO is on scene.
01:38
I don't know if he's not up with them yet.
01:40
Sopark Pan Engine 5.
01:42
Yeah, there was Hifton.
01:43
We're good.
01:44
I'm trying to get the school personnel here to maybe see about relighting some of this stuff to see if we could pinpoint what the problem is.
01:53
Chris, Steve.
01:56
Mike, they're walking to you now.
02:00
Okay.
02:03
Just so you guys know, too, we have all the doors opened up on both the east and west side.
02:07
We are getting some good ventilation through here.
02:10
Everything's the behavior as fair still.
02:13
All right,
02:15
crew will be in here shortly.
02:17
There are a couple more fans, too.
02:19
Otherwise, it will be here all night.
02:21
Copy.
02:25
5,001, 32,03.
02:28
Okay, three.
02:30
Should have an engine head your way, bringing extra batteries for our battery fans and they're going to grab an extra fan off of one of our engines and bring it along also.
02:40
Appreciate you. Thank you.
