The guy in three is on the scene. A two-story brick building attached on the east side to a corner three-story frame. Nothing is showing. Some commands will be investigating. The advisory business is three buildings baking for a long time. He stated that there was a man inside but they believe he smells smoke. We got it. Rat of three, go around the back. Dispatch from Manhattan, can you start car 10 out to this location? Possible imminent collapse in the interior of the building. Stand by. Ten from ladder 3, we can get access from this side of the building. Does it look like it's stable over there or does it look like it’s going to collapse? On the first floor, there's a giant hole that goes into the basement. There's caution to see if you have it. Smoke or visible smoke? Chief, I'm getting a smell of incense in the building. Engine 11 is going to head to the location to take a look at the roofline. Hold all your units to stop for investigations. Ladder 3, engine 14, any luck? No heat or smoke in this building, chief. We’re still trying to find the source of that smell. It’s pretty rough in here though. There’s definitely some evidence of previous burning. We’re looking around with the thermal imaging camera to investigate further.
