If you're out with the police, they're requesting the fire department to the Morton Industrial, I believe it's the 501 island address,
06:10
saying they need ladders getting access for the train car.
06:31
Cap, are you with the PD?
06:36
See,
06:39
I'm back on time.
06:40
That's fact you're saying this isn't going to be some more inspections.
06:43
That's the fact that it's going to be from that location that you have in Morgan Island.
06:48
And they'll probably don't need assistance for removal due to the location.
06:58
For resources, they request in portable ladder, is that correct?
07:09
Okay, they need to sort of evacuate the train course.
07:24
And just because it's dark and the evacuations, are we okay with the resources 74 and then 13?
07:40
That's correct, Chief. I'm open and I'm going to train cord now. We'll be able to save systems for the evacuation.
07:52
However,
07:54
just let me know what resources might be once you talk to the PD.
07:59
And I'm looking at this screen and some notes,
08:03
possibly for egress point for all the occupants on the train.
