Inspector Crocker, command.
00:03
Good.
00:08
Are you want to need to continue in? Planning a 12-5401, South Street on a fireway.
00:13
Why are you returning service? We haven't found anything yet.
00:17
I'll call you back if we do.
00:22
1577 code 9.
00:23
Hey. Thank you.
00:29
Crocker back in service.
00:32
Clear, Inspector Crocker, 1252.
00:38
Yeah, command.
00:42
Good, 159420.
00:45
That's my son.
00:46
Fire alarm system has been silenced.
00:50
It appears it's reset.
00:52
The system is in trouble, but that's probably an old trouble if I had to guess.
00:59
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me at the construction.
01:06
You're inside, you got eyes on, so I'm going to let you make the call.
01:10
But in my opinion, at this point, we've seen nothing.
01:14
It's reset, it's holding.
01:16
We can leave it with maintenance.
01:17
Your call, though, I'm not inside.
01:24
Yeah, I mean, to me, it smells like...
01:26
like a belt probably from an H-FAC unit, but did we check all the units up there?
01:34
That's going to be hard to do.
01:36
We're going to have to ladder each individual building to do that.
01:43
Okay.
01:45
1642.
01:46
Engine 9, engine 6.
01:48
Is maintenance still with you?
01:50
Go ahead.
01:51
Yeah, maintenance is with me.
01:55
Make contact with Mark Keith in the lobby.
01:57
Okay, that'd be my advice for him to be a second
