Do you have a fire out by Laslos?
00:02
Yeah, actually I was just trying to decide who I'm going to send.
00:05
So originally we got a call for a dumpster fire at Let's Pickle.
00:08
But then now several people are calling for Habitat for Humanity Store next door, that the dumpster fire is now extended to the building, 5-9[1].
00:18
Are you in the area?
00:20
Yeah, I'm just north.
00:22
I'll head there.
00:23
Okay, thank you.
00:25
I'll start with that as well.
00:30
Okay, thank you.
00:32
Per the staff at Habitat for Humanity, the unit that might have caught on fire is empty, so hopefully there's nobody inside.
00:43
So that's my second.
00:47
1647.
00:48
Good. Just so you're aware, apparently the Habitat for Humanity at near South 59th Street, it's on right there at Parkway.
00:56
There was an officer fire that is now extended to the building.
00:59
Thank you. Perfect.
01:01
Great, command. Go ahead, Charpey.
01:02
Roof intact, we have no signs of smoke up here.
01:04
We have no way to vent the interior.
01:06
There's a couple fans on the Charlie side.
01:08
Big fans from the interior.
01:10
I don't know if there's an exhaust system where they turn on, but there's no escape rolls or hatches up there.
01:15
Received and I'm not sure if you saw that there's a third one at the same I think that two on top left so it might be the same vehicle okay I understand there's no way to went to smoke up there so you think it's positive pressure
01:28
That'll be the only way unless cut the hole in the roof.
01:30
Chuck called the command.
01:31
It sounds like they found a couple of fans that were on the Charlie side, exterior walls.
01:36
Maybe if they have a maintenance threat, they could operate those fans that would assist us before we cut hold.
01:41
Okay, yeah, I'm working on a key holder.
01:43
Command anybody on the location.
01:45
Do you have any maintenance personnel with you or anybody that's familiar with this building?
01:48
Engine 7, command.
01:49
Go ahead.
01:50
We need to touch face with the pickleball people, since they're open, and see if they have any maintenance contact.
01:54
Do we need any more to block off? I'm not sure how many interns are over there.
01:58
Okay. I spoke with the lady on the outside.
02:01
She said that one of the building managers is on our way over here.
02:03
Okay, great.
02:04
Did you get any information from her as well?
