They're tracking it right behind engine 26.
02:16
Are they still unconscious? Are they conscious?

If we're students there at nursing, so if the medics want to go to the main entrance, that's probably where they're going to find them.

Okay.
02:48
Sorry, you repeat that.
02:50
How is that, so you want me to go assist the kids until the medics can get on seeing and figure out what's going on?

03:43
All right, just to clarify,
03:45
all the students are at the main office, I mean at the nurses suite, so I believe EMS was instructed to go around the back of the building like normal.
03:54

04:00
