Okay, 142.
00:19
Can you show me en route to the fire in relevance as they rip?
00:28
Medica's a 262 can be released for me and then go help and hear a fire attack.
00:40
I copy that.
00:42
Antoine 142 I don't have you attached to the call. You want me to add you and put you en route?

on air supply.
00:56
I've got 262's radio assist you, but I'm thinking it might be best to have them stage out front. And then once you tap that with air, I'll have them rotate in.
01:07
I see from interior fire attack,
01:10
we're all getting new bottles now, we're ready to re-engage.
01:14
There's a life safety hazard at the top of the stairs.
01:17
The second floor is falling down into the first,
01:20
so you can't navigate past the stairs fully into the second floor.
01:26
Primary is clear on the first and the second.
01:32
I copy. Primary is clear first and second floor.
01:37
Do we have a roof collapse?
01:42
It's a floor collapse.
01:45
The floor of the second floor is collapsing down onto the first floor.
01:54
Okay, I copy. So no roof collapse and you're able to navigate just the weakening of that second floor.
02:07
I was able to search what I believe was a full second floor before it fully collapsed and I pull this out. If it take a second before we can get back in there.
02:20
I copy. Do we need to back everybody out?
02:25
We're already out.
02:26
Company 264 with five is out.
02:29
We have new bottles,
02:31
and once we get some ventilation,
02:34
we'll be able to re-engage safely and have a better hazard assessment.
02:41
Okay, I copy that, so we've got nobody interior.
02:44
You guys are going to work on re-engagement, okay.
02:47
That's good. I'm going to give you 262s.
02:51
But yeah, give me a risk assessment. I want to make sure we don't put anybody in there if it's looking like we're going to have a clot tissue.
03:00
Yeah, I copy. I'm still in-tier fire attack.
03:03

07:29
Do you need any additional resources?
07:32
Yeah, that's an affirmative. I'm going to install the windows to the two side of the building to the bedroom.

08:24
a little area there you can't continue or can't completely check for our primary search.
08:30
I don't have you guys go direct.
08:35
Hi, coffee, we're trying to make access right now. Into your working for Medicaid, your 264.
08:43
Yeah, that's a firm. And,
08:46
yeah, the rigs are starting to get kind of bottlenecked in here now, so.
08:53
I got a place for you to park if you can squeeze by everybody.
09:02
Repeat two left for access.
09:07
I'm not sure what it looks like at the entry out there if you're able to squeeze by, but if you can make it past 263s, I got a place for you to park. You can drive in.
09:19

It appears we have one big dump based on the fire load. She appears to be deceased.
09:51
She's in her back bedroom, Robert Charlie Corner.
09:55
The bathroom in that room is still on fire.
09:58
And due to the significant collapse, I can't make my way in there.
10:02
We're going to need an extra fire attack to get out that bathroom from the feet on the side.
10:07
I don't know if they had a breach of wall or what.
