10-4[2]. We're going to go ahead.
05:07
We will be in defensive mode once we get all the scene.
05:10
I'm going to put water on from the exterior.

Engine 26 stations the second hydrant.
05:32
We're outside the railroad tracks.
05:36
Engine 20 is in trying to locate a hydrant as well for Agent 10.
05:44
If you can hang right there that hazard right on the other side of tracks, if we need to set those tracks down, we will.
05:51
I don't think there's going to be a hybrid back to our property.
05:59
As you're on the scene.
06:00
We got Fleetwood command.
06:02
Squad 20, I heard your size up.

I'll go ahead and take command.
06:06
My guys are currently going to work on the doors.
06:08
We did not spot a hydrant on the way in.
06:11
I'm going to be doing a 360.
06:15
Retire 3 is clear.
06:17
I'll be assuming command from engine 10.
06:20
Engine 20, we're going to go ahead and let's not cross, we're going to lay in.
06:26
Radio,
06:27
can we have advice VESX? I'm not sure which rail station is there, but we can shut down rail stations.
06:34
We'll have to lay across it.
06:39
Attack 320 is clear? Is engine 26 still out staging by the hydronomic exterior or we need to go back out?
06:47
Engine 20 are you by that high track that was right um right at the railroad tracks?
06:56
There was 26 advise that we're staging on the outside.
06:59
We can go we can lay back out to you when we need to it.
07:01

07:05
26 on the plug outside the railroad tracks.
