RISER number 4 shut off drain is open.
01:00
It also indicates on the riser that it goes too seasonal.
01:05
Good, that sounds correct. And then hopefully that water leak during the Long Garden should start to slow down.
01:16
22-54-2-2-400 command.
01:19
Go ahead.
01:23
We don't have a leak from a head activation.
01:26
What we have is that the appliance itself, an overflow drain leak of some sort. I have the OS&Y is shut off,
01:34
but we're still having a significant leak in this area. I'm not quite sure what the cause is still trying to troubleshoot it.
01:45
That's clear.
01:50
Before, there's still part of the pressure that it's relieving right now.
01:56
Claire, I think it might be easing just a little bit up here, but it's going to be a significant amount of time for this range through that whole riser.
02:07
Command's interior. Are we going to need some squeegees or is it in a place where there's some drainage and it's outside?
02:15
If it's in the interior of the store,
02:19
we'll check and advise on floor drains.
02:22
Probably short term, we'll see if we need to remove some stock to avoid further loss.
02:32
That's clear.
02:34
Give me to send your driver in with a couple squeegees.
02:40
Lowest personnel now have squeegees that they're utilizing. We're trying to figure out a drain to push the water too. They're also doing some dicing as well.
02:50
2420 on seeing no evocation of progress.
02:56
24 through Abolady Command.
03:00
No evacuation.
03:01
You have the command.
03:09
We just have a partial shutdown of this system.
03:12
And I'm going to face and face with management, make sure that the other Sprinker company contact is hopefully in a route.
03:19
Understood.
03:20
I'll do it right now.
03:26
2415, 2420. You want to stage you to hybrid or you want to suffer with you?
03:34
15 just staged there until they figure out what they can.
03:39
Clear.
03:41
2420 to command.
03:50
This is no fire alarm, it's just something randomly peaking in her apartment.
03:55
We're trying to find it.
04:00
16, Bill.
04:03
I don't have you knew that time.
04:08
Clear 15, do you hear that? 15, do you hear that?
04:12
15 is clear, we'll be returning.
04:19
I think the leak is subsiding some as the riser drains, the volume is not as much. Still have intermittent activation of the jockey pump, which I think confirmed it's going to be a dry system issue.
04:33
As far as property loss, there's minimal damage. Other things are palletized.
04:38
And I think, you know, we've stopped the loss at this point as much as we can. It's a minimal impact.
