Also had a hazmat response to this.
00:47
When Hazmat[1] 1 checks up, let them know that they were fumigating with sulfur fluoride.
00:53
There might be one more trap.
00:55
Let's ever bring, free spring from going inside until it'll get the action level from the hazmat unit.
01:02
PTE is appropriate for this, or we need level A.
01:08
Okay, Fairfax, correct.

Aetna 411 engine 419.
02:41
There's a 100 foot initial isolation distance.
02:45
It is toxic to inhalation.
02:50
So I would recommend probably level A entry to coordinate the rescue weight.
03:00
Okay, I have a line down for protection.
03:03
I will, uh, I'll get two texts on the engine company currently, so I'll leave one person with the handline and the two of them that are text will get it, we'll get into level A, and then when squad 8th, they can be the two and two out.
03:22
So engine 419 you're dressing out and level A, that's where I copy.

Also you're victim out front.
