You're losing a lot of water underneath.
05:35
Take a look underneath your wagon.

You need to shut your valve down.
05:38
You might have your tank fill open.
05:40
Let's shut that down.
05:41
You're losing too much water.
05:43

06:48
Go ahead Charlie.
06:49
Charlie.
06:51
Bravo exposure[2] roof just lit off.
06:53
If you give me another crew on the Charlie side with another line, we can try to hit it from the window.
06:57
44 is bringing their line around.
06:59
Have them stay out of Vision 3.
07:02
We're going to try to hit this and darken it down from the fire escape.
07:05
It's not safe and tenable for people, but we're going to hit it from here.
07:09
Okay, all units stay away from the third floor at this time.
07:12
They're going to knock the exterior.
07:14
They're going to knock the Charlie side, Bravo exposure[2] from the exterior.
07:21
Command to Charlie Vision, you don't have that many units on the scene.
07:24
If you can't get some water on it as quick as you can, use the resources you have back here.
07:30
We're getting water on the fire through the window.
07:34
So 540, we've got a hydrant at North and Oak Hills.
07:38
We can take the front or the rear.
07:44
We're flowing in from the exterior on that conveyor belt.
07:48
The big bay door that's open to the right, I believe a lot of the command staff standing directly in front of it, the fire is up overhead, so we need to make out of no entry zone.
07:58
I can stretch a line from side delta where we came in for the loading dock and hit this fire from a safe distance from the interior.
08:07
I had the lieutenant from SWAT-54, and he's a structure collapse check.
08:12
He's already evaluated and said we should be safe to do so.
08:16
Do you copy?
08:18
All right, I copy.
08:19
It started to start working on getting out of place.
08:22
And we'll also get ready to cut up our county power right at that location to drive water down.
08:33
This is a fire on the second floor, not.
08:38
Ends in 29 making their way to the third floor.
08:43
If you have to be 29 use caution, Charlie divisions putting water in the rear to the Bravo balcony.
08:52
They're hitting that just used caution.
08:59
29 scouts the backup line coming through the front.
09:02
Charlie, what do you got back there? Resources.
09:08
Okay, copy.
