You see where I pulled in this whole driveway over here.
00:02
There's a haze in this garage over here.
00:04
They've got the security guard over here if you can come investigate this area.
00:09
It's 3 having.
00:12
Safety 1. Safety 1.
00:17
7 from the time 2.
00:21
Go ahead. Yeah,
00:26
The seat side of the structure over here, we've got a decent amount of smoke in the parking area, possibly a vehicle smoking or fire or something along those lines.
00:36
We do not smell gas, but we do definitely have a significant amount of haze in this parking structure.
00:45
Copy that. We'll access the parking structure from our side.
00:48
We're over here on the west.
00:55
That RP is on this end of the building, just ran into him with the security guard as well, so he's over in this side.
01:06
Truck 3 from 202.
01:09
Go over term 3.
01:14
I'm going to work my way around to the north side of the building over here as well and definitely have a decent amount of some sort of haze. Can't really get an odor at this point, but it might be a smoking vehicle or something in the parking structure.
01:31
Truck 3, pull a good stage there and meet up with Engine 7 in LA where you see their engine.
01:38
Break, Truck 81 from Type 2.
01:42
Go ahead for Truck 81.
01:46
Pull down on the east side of the building with the Anaheim Engine 3, tie in with them.
01:51
I'm definitely going to have a ventilation issue if there's nothing else on this.
01:56
Anyone copies the east side.
02:02
That's you for Virgin 7.
02:05
Go ahead.
02:08
Yeah, we've made our way into the parking garage from the west side, definitely smell of smoke here.
02:17
Apparently there's a second sub-level parking lot area that I saw the smoke coming to.
02:24
We're not able to access it directly from the west side.
02:30
We're going to make our way over to the east to find a way down to that second sub-level.
02:40
About 207, it appears the only access to that second sub-level is from the east side of the building.
02:49
We'll call Camden the Alpha side, so to be somewhere on that Alpha side.
02:59
Cover that break, and I mentioned through you, copy that.
03:06
Just three copies.
03:08
We've checked the south level down here.
03:10
We did find one vehicle that had been running for a long period of time with a person inside the vehicle.
03:19
The vehicle had overheated and now has stopped running.
03:25
Vehicle did not catch on fire,
03:27
but there is a large amount of smoke down here in the sub-level.
03:34
Confirm you're comfortable with that being the source of this significant amount of smoke on both levels.
03:43
That's affirmative.
03:49
I copy that.
03:50
We'll have you be sub-level two and Engine 7.
03:54
I'll have you be sub-level one.
03:55
If you guys could coordinate ventilation needs so we can try to get some of the smoke cleared out of here.
04:01
Let's formulate a plan together on that.
04:03
Battalion 2, I'll establish Katella Command.
04:11
There's your copies.

Beyond the Alpha side of the structure, which is going to be off of Katella.
04:41
Copy working with Engine 3, Sub-Level 2.
