(name withheld) on track line, please. Command, Car 12. Ocean Bay Club. Dry system activation. I shut down the fire pump. No findings in any of the parking decks. Copy. Is the jack pump still running? The drafty is not running. I'd only shut off the main fire pump. Okay, do you know what the air level is in the dry system? Is that shown any kind of air reading? Okay, copy, does that equalize with the water inlet pressure? Water pressure below the dry valve is about 110. Coffee, is there where you can isolate the dry system? If you can't isolate the dry system, and let's see if we can get the rest of the building back online, just leaving the parking decks offline. I'll stand by on back one. Appreciate. I'm still sitting in the office. If you need me down there, just let me know. All right, we check parking garage up 6. Negative water. Bruce, I'll see you back here where your equipment is. All right, well, McMahon. Good. I wasn't going to drain this system back. Is that all right? If we can isolate it so we can get the fire pump back online for the rest of the building is what I'm trying to go for. If we have to cut off the drive system, that's one thing. But if we leave it on with the fire pump still on there, if it drops pressure again, it's going to kick that fire pump back on. I have the OES and Y shut off just before the check valve for the drive system. So it should be completely isolated. I can open the drain valve, but... I don't have any way to isolate the decks per se. So that's fine. If you've isolated the drive system, go ahead and if the jockey pumps stabilize, see if we can turn back on the main fire pump if that will come on without kicking on. The jockey pumps in auto and was not running and is not running. I can try to set it to reset it to see if it changes anything. And then I'll work on turning the fire pump up. Kabedat, what's the jacket pump pressure shown right now? 200 below 250. All right, you might have to drain it down a little bit because that's going to be way high. You might need to drain it down a little bit until that jacket pump cycles on and then close the drain, allowing the system to reset its pressure transducers.
