Engine 1 to 19, when you come off Church Street on the Cherokee, there's a big flooded area right there, and that hole is very deep.
00:07
It'll rock your truck hard.
00:22
One to 19, I didn't realize that engine two hadn't rolled. Roll it instead.
00:32
Yes, sir.
00:42
FD 13 is about to pull up in east, I'll grab engine 2.
00:47
Okay,
00:49
just remember you can't come under that underpass.
00:54
Copy.
01:03
Truck one, engine two en route.
01:08
Command,
01:14
the Interior update.
01:24
Hasn't found anything further,
01:27
we're going to kick the heating air unit on.
01:32
Copy then.
01:40
Command engine to come to the corner of Jackson Street.
01:45
Truck one,
01:47
stage up at the south entrance to the Circle Drive.
01:58
Both units, you've got a trash truck coming.
02:25
Truck one on me.
02:28
Yeah,
02:38
right there, but that X is fine.
02:43
Command for material.
02:55
The only thing we found right now is the stump in the basement. It's not working. We bypassed the float because the float was all the way up and the pump's not working still. Still not pumping water. So don't know if that's what's burned up and that's what we're smelling.
03:07
Still investigating further with the tigs.
03:10
Tommy.
03:14
Engine one and two.
03:23
Go ahead.
03:25
Have they showed y'all how to get up into, like,
03:28
up to the little third level floor? There's a door you go up and it's kind of like a loft up in the very pitch of that route.
03:36
We cleared the second floor, went to the server room. Once you get to the first landing up the stairs,
03:42
this mail does not extend upstairs to the second floor.
03:45
So we're still investigating the first floor.
03:48
Ten floor, I just said they told you about that third level.
03:51
Thank you.
