Okay, so you do not need any fire suppression at all to the building? Next crew down to the sprinkler room?

I'm looking pretty good on evacuation.
02:31
I think our next best plan of action is to get the fan up there and try to get some of that smoke out of here.
02:37
Okay, were you able to evacuate those that needed to and then shelter in place those that need to shelter in place?
02:44
All right, we're working on evacuating.
02:46
Should be the east wing of the second floor.
02:50
All right, copy.
02:51
I'll send ladder six crew down to the sprinkler room and I'll keep those guys intact.
