Chiefs speaking with maintenance is indicated that the ash that is coming through the exhaust that is connected directly to that particular boiler and that boiler only seems to be slagged build up from use it's working improperly it's still exhausting the heat around the floor we have a temperature of 219 degrees tip of stack we have 509 degrees We're just going to monitor. Okay. Part 10, 4-4. Go ahead, 4. Chief, did you want all the floors of the spa tower checked for CO? I do. Card 104-1. Good one. After discussing with Captain (name withheld), I think what we're going to stay up here and they're going to monitor the heat situation coming out of that particular stack. Into 1 crew is going to go downstairs, get our CO meter, and see what's going on on this portion of the building. 104. Before, Kurt Penn. Before before, go ahead. While you're in there, see if you can make the contact has security there. So we get an idea of what's going on to that tower as far as everybody's out. Any other issues they might know of. In addition, I'd like to get the ventilation going if it's possible, if that building can exhaust the seal from inside there, in the lobby especially, if that's possible. Four Cartends, you copy that? Right too. The smoldering insulation are off the top of the unit, but now we have some smoldering insulation on the front of the unit. R10 engine three? Three. We placed the ladders vent fan at the rear exit here to vent the CO. In the boiler room itself, we are getting some higher readings, but the hallways are a little bit lower now. Okay, and what about the head of security staff? What's the status of occupancy and the powers urban from everybody that evacuated out of there? We have not any way to evacuate. Should we advise security to evacuate? That's the highest level of COU received in tower? The highest level we came across was 20. Engine 1, 4 of 1. All right, cap. You got our CO meter?
