All right, you've been replaced by 11s on the Vision 4.
00:03
Were you having good attack on that wire?
00:06
Did you guys control extension that? Make a sick person, fire only code, one response.
00:11
Yes, sir, there's a long time on the hose line on 4.
00:14
And I've got their first of their full ceiling on 4.
00:16
As much as they can open it, they can get fire.
00:18
No, 40.
00:20
Respond, untax,
00:21

00:22
02. So the fire is not controlled.
00:24
They know what you're telling me.

00:36
Respond on...
00:37
They had a knock down with a high...
00:38
...go to...
00:39
...with a high DEPMO...
00:43
All right. Battalion 8.
00:46
The crew is operating on Division 4.
00:49
Are there, is there any fire between 4 and 5 at this point around that stairwell or the landing above the stairwell?
00:56
On Division 4.
01:02
Seriously.
01:07
Command, go ahead.
01:09
Okay, Keith, I think I didn't communicate very well with you.
01:12
That catastrophic collapse on two was from weight, not fire.
01:16
No fire on one and two.
01:18
Third floor, we can't go in the Charlie Delta corner because there's no floor underneath the sub floor.
01:23
The fire was between fourth and fifth, so the fourth feeling needs to be checked for stability.
01:34
All right, see, it sounds to me like the remaining, and I'm just saying this openly so we can just confirm it.
01:41
If this ain't right, somebody speak up.
01:44
My understanding is the only active fire that we've got going is this part that's on for that we've got crews in DC5 working to control extension.
01:54
Is this correct?
01:59
All right, Battalion 8 to all units on the fire ground, let's stay off of Division 3.
02:05
Division 3 floor is unstable due to water weights.
02:10
And for the Battalion 8.
02:20
Station Reassignment.
02:21
Engine 12. Go ahead.
02:22
Move to Station 37.
02:24
Yes, man. I just have these many addict riders for us to talk to any of these.
02:28
Two four items on four.
02:30
It's four on five.
02:32
We're not finding any large amounts of fire at this point.
02:34
I just want to make sure we got it set off.
02:38
The tiny five copy.
02:39
I'll get some companies up there with some attic ladders.
02:42
Yes,
02:43
sir, two to four and two to five was just being held.
02:46
Station reassignment, engine 9, move to station 32.
02:50
Station reassignment, engine 9, move to station 32.
02:55
The time,
02:56
I've got NG27 coming up with attic ladders.
03:02

7, Delta 6, May of 18,
03:20
and engine 30.
03:21
All right, received.
03:25
BC8 is saying that 3 is unstable, so really I just need you guys to assess
03:32
Let's just continue to draw lines around this fire and stop the extension of it.
03:35
So I know you've got two companies.
03:38
working with you,
03:40
just start identifying where is it safe operating, where is it not, do you have any time to fire.
03:45
Basically, I'm going to give you, I guess, one through...
03:48
1 through 3,
03:51
um, Wilson Boulevard.
03:52
Just monitor those as much as you can for me.
03:55
Delta 1, Made of 10, and squad 6, first responder, make an abdominal pain, 1840 Texas Avenue.
04:04
Cross Street, Wilson Boulevard.
04:06
and Emery. Respond over 7th here.
04:09
Delta 1 Okay.
04:19
I think. We're all the way around this thing on 3rd, on the 4th and having a shift now.
04:24
Station risk now.
04:25
It was usually out of the hours with confirmed I could get an eye in the age of getting a space between the porch.
04:30
Did you ever at any point have reports of working fire on the search?
04:37
No, it might have been a miscommunication.
04:41
I had the record of a collapse and then I had a report of what I understood to be fired
04:49
that might have been in two and I thought it might have been coming from those collapsed terraces, maybe working its way in, a little like not as far progressed as four and five.
05:02
I'm trying to make good situational awareness of what we got under it.
05:05
We got a bunch of people on four and five right now, and they're in attic spaces.
05:09
So it'll take a little while to evacuate them as we need to.
05:15
Yeah,
05:17
exactly. And that's why I've got 3O actively monitoring.
05:20
I've given them a couple of fire companies.
05:22
So,
05:23
so far I haven't had any negative reports below you guys.
05:28
The last bad report I got was from you and it was about water weight on 3.
05:33
Stationery assignment.
05:35
That was a platform for instance.
05:38
We had a parking platform for you to watch.
05:41
Be advised, we've got about two inches of water on top of the concrete floors and just building and that's...
05:47
I'm sure the floors are what supported.
05:57
DC5 from command.
05:59
I've got BC1 who's actually going to go to the left to the floor.
06:03
You guys want to do a face-to-face and get caught up on who's doing what where.
06:07
Having trouble breathing at 135-18 Mud Shark.
06:10
Crosherty while.
06:11
You said you got DG1-EMS-5, a time of 23-24 hours.
06:16
Yeah, D-C-1-26-1003.
06:17
That way you guys can kind of get organized with who's working on what it is.
06:22
At 135-1-8, Muts-Sark.
06:23
DC-1-8. Okay.
06:25
Let us respond on EMS-5, return of 23-25 hours.

Cover, Michael, 26, a two-year's woman.
06:47

06:54
There's room one floor three with DC3.
06:57
One of those cones and lights in front of the apartment.
07:03
Kevin's all minutes.
07:08
I didn't copy anything you said.
07:15
I can drop of everyone taken.
07:19
We got 304s leaving Division 5 going down for a recycle.
07:26
Received. I know you guys have a bunch of companies up there.
07:29
Do you need another one as a replacement or can we just start sending guys down and you just continue to work with what you got?
07:37
Therefore, we're at a point where I can work with what I got.
07:40
If I get to a point where I'm getting low, I'll request the fresh crew.
07:43
I'd like to see as many crews recycle and get fresh models while we've got a low, while we've got a knock on it.
07:49
I'm going to maintain a couple of crews up here just to keep eyes in the attic on five, and I'll work my way down to four in a minute to make sure so we've got plenty of crews down there holding it and making sure nothing flares up.
08:02
Yeah,
08:03
receive. I got BC1 that's making his way physically up to 4.
08:11
Perfect. He'll handle divisions 4, I'll stay on 5.
08:14
Thank you.
