01:05
No for 101.
01:13
I think you need to focus your operations on saving a nursing home.
01:18
Let the mansion burn and stop it before it gets to the nursing house.
01:25
I agree Tommy, but we're kind of stuck with no water over here.
01:29
I know you're on that side.
01:31
You got that handle by working away to you.
01:35
Yeah, they're getting water to Tower 20 and we're waiting to move the Tower 4.
01:44
It's good.
01:47
Go ahead.
01:50
If it could, at least steal one tanker, bring up the left side and fill me and you back up just so we have some water.
02:00
Alright, we'll work on it there, and I'm making my way that way now.
02:08

02:44
Hi, this is 47.
02:47
Have somebody ever tried one of them plugs.
02:50
I'm on the phone with the water department now and they believe they're getting us water.
02:56
All right, ten four.
02:59
We'll try the one right in front of power four.
03:06
Let me try that out.
03:11

03:16
Ready to keep 33-1-1-1-1-1.
03:20
101, go ahead.
03:24
101, if you're good with it, I got a crew with me, I want to go on the roof of this hallway that was between the two buildings and knock the fire down on this roof.
03:32
We got crews underneath the bus.
03:33
It looks good on the inside.
03:34
I just want to knock you down from spreading the other building.
03:40
Negative, it's not worth it.
03:48
Hey, 101 from 47.
03:51
47, go ahead.
03:55
We've controlled the gas.
03:57
We have the gas shut off at the main gas line.
04:00
It's in front of the nursing home entrance.
04:05
Ten Ford, you just put it out, so we was watching to go down as we were turning, I'm guessing.
04:11
Anybody check that hydrogen for us yet?
04:16
Yeah, they're opening it up now.
04:17
Stand by.
04:20
22 to 47, prior redress.
04:24
22, guys.
04:28
You still got guys inside their structure on the alpha side.
04:33
We're spraying water from a ladder truck.
04:35
These guys probably need to get out of it.
04:37
I think we already told once.
04:40
We've got for 47 to all units evacuate the structure.
04:44
47 all units evacuate the structures down the horn.
04:49
Everyone is out.
04:51
We got two guys on the edge of the roof.
05:01
47, all units, no entry into the building, no entry into the room.
05:05
No entry into the room.
05:17
We're cutting all units, evacuate the structure, evacuate the structure.
05:26
One-on.
05:33
We got water at the hymonds by Towers.
05:41
It's not a lawn of water, but we'll see what we can do here.
05:44
I'm starting to die down for any questions.
05:49
Larry, hold on, Larry, stop.
05:58
7-708 on Pack 2.
06:03
Press.
06:08
Just watching now, we got two hillsides up at 12th Street, or bed at 12th Street.
06:14
One from Hives, one from the river.
06:22
101 is a 47th.
06:26
One o one guy.
06:30
Hey, even though the water plant's got that up and running, the water is only a 4 inch line on that bird.
06:35
We're not going to get much out of it.
06:41
Power 4.
06:43
So we'll supply power 4 with that 20,
06:46
920 pound water.
06:50
Since then, I need to get water to end up to 7-103, so we got something to protect our truck.
06:56
We're kind of hot-go there.
07:00
You thought you're going to have to get it from the left side coming around,
07:05
the Alpha Brava side, your hose on the Charlie side where we're at.
07:14
Water wall of 300.
07:22
Three hundred.
07:24
Uh,
07:26
who's feeding you water?
07:31
Uh, tankering, what's feeding this water?
07:35
And I, (name withheld), who's back to you when you get it some water so we can protect you two trucks on the south of the site?
07:43
Repeat.
07:51
Oh, I need to get a tanker past you guys and get it over here to 103 and engine 7.
07:58
In front of my engineer's fire lines down.
08:05
That's more.
08:07
There we just keep around it, correct.
08:11
I don't see how you could.
08:13
I was an engine or tanker.
08:17
I'm probably sorry to get you a long back.
08:24
There's a lot of celebrity comes out.
08:26
The banker, 49, the next banker come in.
08:34
47 on Mayfire.
