00:35
Roll-up sign machine number one.
00:46
Okay, that's nice to know for the report, I guess.
00:49
Is there something that they needed to tell us about that for us?
00:57
Read that.
01:02
Okay, so you said it's machine one.
01:05
They're at that machine now?
01:10
Yeah, Roger.
01:11
Their maintenance is still, director of maintenance is 10 minutes out.
01:18
Okay, I believe the fire's out and they got some machines shut down.
01:22
41, can you confirm that?
01:29
The seniors are shut down as we spoke.
01:32
There is some power still going to it.
01:34
Don't know what frame it is.
01:38
You come up with the sidewalk and do it face to face, please.
01:47
They will turn in.
01:52
Oh, we're handling it.
01:53
You'll find us.

Command is from three.
02:07
Command's up.
02:12
You have a 2nd aerial over there?
02:16
Yeah, I have two aerials on this side.
02:19
I can send them one over your way if you need it.
02:24
Yeah, ours is not in a good spot and it's buried.
02:27
So if you could send one aerial over,
02:29
we're going to try to get to the roof to try to open some of these hatches for ventilation.
02:34
Have them come down and stop by the palace storage and I'll meet them there.
02:46
Three from Rescue Eight.
02:50
Go ahead.
02:53
We have a mutual aid aerial just arrived down the road here.
02:56
Are you on the Bravo side?
03:02
We're on the D Charlie side,
03:05
but there's too much equipment already here.
03:08
I need them to come around from staging and I'm gonna have them stop by their L storage.
03:15
One said he's got two aerials staged over there.
03:20
Okay, I'll have these guys look where they are then.
03:25
Okay, have them move up to the parking lot by where car one is and just have that be the staging area.
03:32
We can bring them around this side if needed.
03:36
I've got rescue eight across the street.
03:38
Stay out of the way.
03:41
Okay.
03:46
Three from command.
03:49
Go ahead.
03:51
Yeah, I got Canton Ladder Two heading your way.
03:54
They're going to come around the back of the building.
03:56
We also have fire engines tower if you need it.
04:02
Okay, one aerial should be sufficient at this time.
04:05
But I'll let you know if we need another one.
04:06
I'm going to have them get in front of 14 and kind of hit this corner back here to get to the roof to get these patches up.
04:21
We can just they can just send their trucks if they're 1st out doing something else or they can send their personnel off.
04:26

06:03
There's a light smoke condition, it's getting better.
