reporting on TAC 6, establishing the current command in the area attempting to low Tate. It makes contact with airport to determine the exact location of Teng 101.

I've known so far going to assume command, go and give me can't report when you meet with the PR.
00:26
Let's get all units this stage out here on Kitty Hawk.
00:28
This one.
00:33

00:40
Command, this is engine 13. I'm on scene with airside operations.
00:44
We're investigating engine 13.
00:50
Command copies.
00:55
Red Dog 40 is command. I've assumed command.
00:57
If you just want to give me a report once you get a understanding what's going on.
01:05
Red Dog 40, what was your access point?
01:12
This is going to be Zone 3-Tect 6 out at the airport for a hazmat.
01:21
Capway entered off of Kitty Hawk just across from the employee parking.
01:25
Intin 13 is currently meet with the PR if you just want to make your way over here.
01:32
An engine 13. I just met with the general manager.
01:36
He did state that the tank is overflowing.
01:39
It is being contained right now. It's all going to be held in the dike area.
01:44
He's trying to shut down what's causing the leak, the overflow.
01:49
So right now he says it's absolutely nothing we could do. It's all contained.
01:55
that is currently contained within the perimeter of that dike. But is the flow actually stopped coming into the tank to this point or is he still working on trying to stop the flow come into the tank?
02:07
That's affirmative.
02:10
He's trying to stop the flow coming into the tank right.
02:14
He did say that the dike area is large enough to contain all the old floor that's coming.
02:26
So if he can get an update on what impact he's not enough to probably pull the tank but if it can stop the phone that it's probably an overload point.
02:39
So just a quick update, since this is a fuel tank farm, it was upgraded, the HAFMA team has been added.
02:47
Perfect, just best, thank you. If you want to let the HAZMAT know they can give me a call on my personal cell phone in a minute when it's ready.
02:53
I copy.
02:59
Italian 213, he's saying that there's no way that the dike is going to be overflowed. He say that the overflow will hold 80,000 gallons,
03:10
so he's not concerned with the overflow, but he is still attempting to shut it down.
03:19
Copy that. Is there any other need that can use from us at this point until they can stop the flow to the tank?
03:29
to the tank right now there is no more flow going inside this is just the overflow he's also requesting the move up closer to the tank I don't see an issue with that
03:45
