Are you in route?
01:03
Okay, 860s, we're out.
01:06
8 on the round.
01:12
Man, I have a door that's open.
01:18
Okay, that's Jeff.
01:21
Yeah,
01:22
I need to know and see which door that you're going in, which doors that were open.
01:26
That's fine probably and whether or not it looks like they have been reached.
01:33
All doors should be secured.
01:40
This is 419 back in course.

18.
01:59
I mean,
02:05
we'll talk aside.
02:08
Check, check says, my understanding that this building does not have any power either, is that correct?
02:15
That is correct.
02:17
Metal power.
02:19
We're supposed to get any access for this one target side.
02:23
And if it's opened over there, we'll go through that late.
02:27
Okay,
02:29
so we don't have an unciator panel either then to really check any specific alarm or floor.
02:38
Unless they've got power running through it now, I know it changed ownership this past week.
02:44
A-ship did a walkthrough unless they've installed some power to get that set up and run in, which they must have if we can run.
02:49
18 driver, are you able to locate the enunciator panel and see it is operational?
03:01
If not, we'll probably have to do a four-by-four search.
03:05
Check.
03:11
Companies that are responding, just make sure you got enough handlights and everything, because you're not going to have any lights in the building.
03:23
Sir Fumper base is going to be Highland and Northwood.
03:33
Command, Vision 18.
03:35
Pano is not working.
03:37
No power to do.
03:40
Jack, let's go in and formulate just investigative teams that we can do, and let's go each investigative team to two to three floors.
03:50
I think six, you said you're going to have truck seven, and was that engine 16, that's going to go over there with the east building.
04:00
This is battalion seven.
04:02
That was engine 21 and truck seven in the charge of division.
04:09
Check, let's go ahead and we'll have that deploy in the East Tower and go ahead and do a search 18s.
04:16
You have Truck 8 with you?
04:22
Not just, we have the library.
04:27
Appreciate that one with right now.
04:34
All right, we'll just use the staircases and I just do a walk through on each floor and try to clear it.
04:41
Maybe we can find out where the alarm is coming from.
04:45
And obviously let us know if you think if you come across anybody in the building, it's not supposed to be there.
04:57
The man, this case, I'm going to make it be within the 21 truck said.
05:04
Although, like I said, we'll take the east hour.
05:11
Hey, can you need another company or a investigative team to go up with you to the upper floors?
05:18
Negative. We'll handle.
05:25
Let's pair up with an engine, let's do one, you can work with 25s.
05:32
23s and 24s, let's go ahead and pair up and get a stairwell.
05:37
There's been a couple floors.
05:39
That way we can kind of distribute this enough to serve the load and get finished.
05:47
Here, great school.
05:51
Terry, 24.
05:57
Sir, 23rd.
05:59
Man, 25 is not a lot of you.
06:05
25, this is all what you got, everybody I've come to you.
06:09
Did you make interest in the west side as well?
06:15
Yeah, I did, then I came outside.
06:17
I could see people better.
06:20
That's fine.
06:21
You can just stay there. I know unless we just set up some portables,
06:25
just stay there.
06:26
Law enforcement should be with you too, or at least be in your cluster vicinity.
06:32
34s, if you're on the same, let's go ahead and deploy with Rescue 1.
06:38
Okay,
06:43
