Okay, if I understand you correctly, it sounds like the sprinkler room is in the basement.
00:08
Correct. Sprinkler room is this.
00:10
We're on the first floor right now.
00:12
We can go down there or we can still search the first floor for a kitchen.
00:17
Which one would you like?
00:22
Stand by for a second.
00:28
Engine 6, why don't you guys go ahead and make it to the basement? I'm sure these companies are getting close to be out of air.
00:34
So if you could go down there and try to find that sprinkler room, that'd be great.
00:57
A structure team, I'm sorry, you're asking if squad Lenn is with patients?
01:04
Yeah, no say the patient is with fire at this point.
01:11
Will you attach station 24 and have them bring their fans down to this same place?
01:17
I'll get them coming out that way.
01:20
Yeah, command from C2, they just picked up a CPR call, so that'll be delayed versus bonds.
01:28
You can clear.
01:35
Truck 7 copy, Midday 1319, you can clear.
01:42
More calls for folks saying they can't get out of the building, just tell them the shelter in place.
01:49
Dispatch copies, any other calls having to get anyone shelter in place?
01:55
Dispatch from command, I understand Truck 13 got tapped on a medical call.
01:58
Go ahead and have them come Code 3.
02:00
I got medical here already, but I could use them for help with ventilation.
02:06
The dispatch copies looks like Truck 13 was attached to that medical call as well.
02:09
I'll get them on the side.
02:12
Copy that, yeah, let them know to go Ops 3.
02:18

All right, if you need us.
02:37
Yeah, so why don't you make your way around to the Alpha side, bring your fans and help Truck 4 with ventilation.
02:46
I'm going to get a Truck 4, you guys will be a ventilation group.
02:48
You're going to have Truck 1 working with you right now.
02:54
Got me that.
02:59
Command from Truck 13 or Ops 3.
03:04
Quit Truck 13.
03:09
They're trying to clarify through dispatching you, we're going to an unrelated medical call on your fire building, and it sounds that there was SWAT1.
03:17
Want to confirm that if so we're going to drop.
03:20
Okay, want to you continue,
03:22

I just want to confirm with Dispatch if the room number assigned for the patient for Truck 13 was room 612.
04:23
Perfect.
04:25
Negative.
04:29
Okay, copy that.

Engine 24 is on the CPR, so I'm having truck 8 swing by to get their heavy squad to bring the fans down, FYI.
05:13
Look at. Truck 13 sounds like this.
05:16
Medical call is unrelated.
05:18
So you stay on the medical call, address that.
05:21
Interior Division from Command.
05:25
Did you copy that there are windows open on the first floor where the smoke is now lapping back into the building? Will you make sure that all those windows on the Quimby Street side, alpha size, are closed?
