Dispatch, Engine 14 is on scene.
00:01
We have a single story ordinary construction residential hall.
00:06
We're going to be investigating the time.
00:07
It could be McEwen Drive.
00:09
Command, just be advised the gas company is on scene at the time.
00:14
Copy, single story ordinary construction, investigating McEwen command.
00:18
Battalion 3 from Engine 14.
00:20
Go ahead. So the gas guy is here right now and he is asking if we were able to burn the tank off.
00:25
There is a crack in the shell and it's actively.
00:27
Leaking.
00:28
That's affirmative.
00:29
Break squad eight, sign three.
00:32
Go squad eight.
00:34
Do you copy the request for burn off?
00:36
Step four.
00:38
Engine 14, you can advise him that we should be able to burn it off, but we need a better size up of the tank once we get there with squad.
00:46
Sign three, can you repeat? You can advise him that we can do a burn off, but we're going to need to do our own size up of the tank and ensure that it's safe.
00:54
It's a 250 gallon.
00:56
He said there's about 35% left in the tank right now.
00:59
I copy. Squad 8, copy direction.
01:02
Squad 8, copy.
01:03
Battalion 3, chocolate.
01:06
Go ahead. I'm sure you're already thinking it, but a product recovery from the responsible parties would be way faster than a flaring operation if it's available.
01:14
I'm assuming it's not available since it's a gas company, but once I get on scene I'll speak with them.
01:18
Copy that.
01:19
Engine 14 to 93.
01:21
Go ahead.
01:22
I wasn't able to pull up the layer on my map right now because I'm driving.
01:25
Did you locate a hydrant?
01:27
Not in direct sight right now.
01:30
One 2nd . Correction, there's one about 100 yards to our east of location.
01:34
Okay, we'll have a 2nd .
01:35
Do, can I get in contact with you guys?

Doing it at this time.
01:54
And just an update, the tank is underground and it's a very minor leak.
