01:08
A rescue before you commit, I think your best spot is going to be on 21st, coming from the west heading east.
01:17
So if you haven't committed, go around and set up on the west side of truck 9.
01:22
We've got a lot of down power lines between myself and the box truck.
01:30
Truck 9, you got Lifeforce 10 on, please.

We have the down power lines all across this incident.
01:48
Let's be heads up.
01:49
We have down power lines, north, south, east, west.
01:51
All the guys are working amongst the power lines right now.
01:56

I got perimeter control east and west of the incident right now with engine 209 being in charge of perimeter control.
02:31
Right now it sounds like we have two patients, a 28-year-old male and 24-year-old female.
02:35
I just visualized a patient being loaded into the back of the engine 17.
02:40
I'm clear which one it is.

And the hook should be trying to come down west of me.
02:52
Okay, gosh, we have a spot for the hook up front.
02:55
All right.
02:57
The best spot for the hook change is going to be west on 21st Street.
03:03
There's too many down power lines get this thing in here.
03:05
So, approach you from the west, I think it's going to be best.
03:10
Okay, can I hear you send a resource over to that Charlie sign as well?
03:17
That's correct.
03:18
Engine 14, I told them to go work west of this.
03:21
We've got a small crowd gathering on 21st Street west of the incident.
03:28
Okay, we're going to tie the amendment perimeter control, is that correct? But they'll be on the west side, Charlie's on this incident.
03:38
That's correct.
03:39
Engine 209 is in charge of permanent control.
