Command, VET 51.
00:03
Go ahead, 51.
00:08
The log apartments, 308, 306, 304, 302, 300, even unable to gain access.
00:15
Copy. 51 from command on working 12.
00:27
What's the status of our rental?
00:33
At that, currently walking, as I'm verifying with these guys to make sure in some departments as we're walking down, our hallway ventilation is at zero parts per million.
00:41
Pass kind of showed them what we've got up to this point.
00:44
I just want to get people back with that, I think we should have to see where it comes back from.
00:50
I copy. And then when you had found the 22nd parts per million in apartment 309, they did not have any sort of gas operating device, correct?
01:01
That's affirmative.
01:02
And on the floor that we're at, they all have those big sheet windows and unable to open.
01:06
So the only way we're going to be able to set the way is from the hallway.
01:10
Be advised we're at the end of this to remind us to run to go back and lock all the apartments for people that are here with the master keys to verify it's there to be secured.
01:18
Command from 61 driver.
01:21

WPS had it shut down the ventilation while we find the floor on the third floor.

01:34
Yeah, that was further requested WPS while we chased the force.

And then also verified with maintenance that then was going off on that floor.
02:16

Sixty one officer are you sure you that we don't want additional unit here for more manpower just for the walking part?

02:35
I have 51 going out to grab the CO meter off of their ring too so we can help verify.
02:41
Okay, so a negative on additional assistance and we're almost done clearing the third floor, correct?
