What do you need help with?
01:41
Kevin, from 185, you might want to ladder that second building to the north and check that.
01:49
We see smoke production on that side.
01:51
We are to the north of view.
01:52
We already got two ladders over here.
01:54
We're on our way to the roof.

02:23
This thing's starting to run the attic on the second floor, moving towards the north.
02:28
So I know you're a little short on resources up there.
02:30
We've got a second alarm coming.
02:31
I'll get you more as soon as we get some unseen.
02:33

02:37
Hobbs from Division 2.
02:38
We're opening up a ceiling in the upstairs unit right now, chasing it, trying to get ahead of it.
02:43
If we could have a unit possibly go to our north, that would help, but we're knocking along a lot of the flight right now.
02:49
Okay, I copy.
02:50
You got engine 101 working for you, and you also have the Montclair engine working for you.
02:55
So if they checked in, that's all I got for you right now.
02:58
The Montclair's opening up the breezeway for us just to make sure it's not behind us.
03:02
We've got a second hose line we're trying to get on it.
03:04
Any division two, you got one or three up here just to the south on unit 21, check for extension, going towards the south.
03:10
We're not finding anything in that unit 21, which is just to the south.
03:14
Looks like we stopped it in the breezeway.
03:15
Copy that, stop to the south.
03:17
We're still working on making a stop to the north.
