Truck 63, if you can continue down 43rd, take a left at Lavina and block Lavina Street northbound.
00:06
That would be helpful.
00:08
Have our next incoming unit block 43rd Street.
00:15
Truck 63, copy.
00:16
We're going to block Lavina from the north.
00:22
Correction, Lavina south of 43rd.
00:31
Probably going to be a Lavina south of 43rd.
00:42
Man from truck 63, Lavina is blocked at 41st.
00:51
Copy, 663, come up, bring your air monitor, and let's start checking houses on Lavina on the west side of the street.
01:01
Just making sure that we don't have any readings interior in any of these houses.
01:06
663, copy, coming up to the scene checking the west side for air monitor and checking houses.
01:17
Engine 61 is blocking 43rd at Lincoln.Engine 61,
01:26
block there.
01:27
Bring your monitors up.
01:29
I'd like to have you start checking the houses on 43rd Street towards the excavators.
01:35
Just checking for any things in there.
01:41
Air monitor, check for houses on 43rd.
01:48
Units at this time, we're advising residents to stay in place and just checking for any readings inside.
02:04
Battalion One, go ahead.
02:15
Command, Battalion One.
02:19
Go ahead.
02:24
Yeah, I understand you got a gas leak.
02:28
Gas line struck from an excavator in the middle of the street for a sewer work getting done.
02:34
You've got truck 63 blocking and checking houses on the west side of the street.
02:43
Let's see, we've got engine 61 blocking and checking homes on 43rd street.
02:50
Natural gas on scene.
02:53
That's correct.
02:54
You can.
03:00
We've checked all the homes from the excavator down to the west end of the street.
03:07
We're not finding any readings interior this far.
03:11
At this point, we don't have anybody checking at Northwest Rose Street, which is just directly south of us.
03:16
Outside of that, we have no needs.
03:21
So you've checked west of the excavator and you need Rose Street checked.
03:30
Are you available to do that?
03:34
We're still completing our checks west of the excavator.
03:39
All right, copy.
03:41
And are you getting any readings as of yet?
03:47
Negative, we had some readings outside of the house, right in front of the excavator, but no one's at home, so that's not what we're getting.
03:56
Copy, and I presume the excavator's turned off.
04:00
Yeah, thanks.
04:01
I should have shut
04:02
everything down, and we have two representatives from Northwest Natural Gas here at the gas site.
04:08
Copy, might come up and face to face with the natural gas supervisor.
04:18
Officer 51, Battalion 1 will assume
04:21
43rd command.
04:24
I copy. Battalion 1 is assuming command at 953.
04:27
If you want to give me an address for the house that is not answering, I can look up a phone number and give them a call if you want.
04:36
Copy, Engine 1, can you advise
04:38
Officer 51 of the address?
04:42
8 from 10.
04:51
Five one from engine one.
04:53
The address reading readings outside of is (number withheld) west 43rd.
05:01
Copy (number withheld) west 43rd.
05:03
And battalion, did you want me to ask them to give you a ring or come outside of their home?
05:13
I want you to see if you can just make contact with them and then reach back out to me.
