Engine 9, truck 9, both units make 4,800 Aurora Avenue at Hoover High School and another private alarm. 4800-0 Aurora Avenue, engine 9 truck 9. Response 1, channel 6. Again, channel 6. 536. The 9 is route. Gabby. Dispatch. We're going to go ahead.

Cancel truck 9, we'll just handle this. Copy that. Dispatch DC1 will be available mobile. Cover DC1. Same drop. This time it sounds like the first floor resting room and the storage room near there, that HH heat detection. NCH9 copies.

Just patch for command. No answer. Could you call city yards and output barricades around the hydrant on cane? We're going to have that hydrant tied up for a while. Copy that. And command, do you need large barricades or a couple small ones? How many are you thinking?
01:21
I think a couple small ones is just the residential street is not very wide, so a couple of them on both sides begin. Copy that.
