Do you have anybody in the, I guess we'll call it the original section of the restaurant adjacent to the ductwork?
00:08
We
00:11
received.
00:14
Good.
00:18
Okay, would you remember that's looking up to the roof right now?
00:21
Your (name withheld) was burnt right above him, and we weren't able to see the roof line all the way up.
00:27
So if you guys can see that, hit that.
00:31
That's the only thought we could think.
00:36
Okay. You can find a truck on me.
00:37
Let's get that opened up.
00:40
I have ladder 17, ladder 14 in there.
00:43
We have a man from tower 33.
00:46
Yeah. A
00:49
small progress report from our end.
00:51
We have made that 3rd floor.
00:52
That 3rd floor has a fire stop that stopped before where the fire was.
00:58
And there was no sign of fire or extension due to that 3rd floor.
01:03
We're trying to find an attic at the 2nd floor.
01:06
From the 2nd floor to the attic.
01:09
Okay, received.
01:10
You got no smoke over there?
01:13
Light smoke on the 1st floor.
01:17
Moderate smoke on the 2nd floor.
01:20
I don't know if you're okay to run a fan.
01:21
That would be up everybody else.
01:24
Yeah, we'll start working on ventilation.
01:34
15 operator to interior.
01:37
Looks like down in the basement, like the baking area.
01:40
I assume that's where it started in the ductwork.
01:41
There's smoke down there.
01:43
No need for a line.
01:44
Want to keep an eye and might want to check for extension down there.
01:47
There's no
01:49
radio down there either.
01:52
There's nothing crew down there now.
01:58
This is 88.
02:01
Go ahead.
02:03
I got squad 88 coming in.
02:05
They're going to work on ventilation.
02:07
So if you want to link up with them, anything ventilated.
02:11
We're still opening up in here.
02:14
Received.
02:18
Copy eight to battalion eight eight.
02:22
Go ahead.
02:24
I have an exterior stairwell.
02:28
It goes directly up to that 2nd floor on the alpha delta corner.
02:33
I think you can come up there with your hands.
02:36
Okay.
02:42
(name withheld) and division two.
02:49
Command from Division Two.
02:52
Okay, guys.
02:54
All open up up here.
02:55
It's all clear through.
02:56
Need to send a fire marshal to go.
03:00
Okay. It sounds like this ductwork comes down, runs horizontal across, then drops down again into the basement.
03:09
So I don't know how much we're going to have to keep taking this and opening up.
03:14
Do you need me to go down to the 1st floor or somebody down there take care of that?
03:19
If you want to link up with Deputy 61, he's in our 1st floor division.
03:24
And just kind of see how much more we got to keep opening up.
03:28
Command to the units in the basement.
