01:30
10-4[1]. Boyd, are you still with Chance over there?
01:34
Yes, I am.
01:36
I think they contract with Briggs over here at this place.
01:40
If that's the case,
01:44
see if he'll give us consent.
01:45
Otherwise, we're just going to go in based off the fire smell.
01:49
He said 9-10-12 when you said that.
01:52
Pretty sure Chance has a contract over at this place.
01:55
So if he'll give us consent, we'll operate off that.
01:57
If not, we're going to make entry, make sure this building isn't burning down.

47 and 45, do you need keys to get inside the building?
