I want to confirm, do we have lockout tag out on the electrical service to the car? Do you have traffic for a 13th? Yeah, Donnie, did we have the power secured to the car, or are we in a spot where we can when we need to? We're going to be maintenance right now and take care of that.
00:53
Man, we're on the 12th floor now, we're making access to the elevator.
00:57
All right, top of FQ.
01:00
Just let me know what you think the best course of action is, and that's what we'll go with.
01:04
And when the next arriving TR unit gets here, I'll feed them up to you on the 12th floor.
01:08
Then, pull on straight down.
01:09
I need to get the rescue truck and the ladder in here.
01:11
Man, is there somebody standing with you that has keys that can open a couple of doors for us?
01:17
They're in the elevator lobby area.
01:20
The 12 floor is a door that's actually got a key, not a key file, but a key.
01:26
Okay. Ladder 1 or 13, can we are direct the maintenance man to assist with that?

When we get to the point to shut it down, we'll coordinate that with Captain Mitchell in rescue operations, and then we'll secure that power.

When we do it, we need to leave a person on that power control so it's not turned back on inadvertently.

02:01
I ask you 16 is on thing.
02:03
Out of 14, so on second.
02:04
Command squad, sir.
02:05
Go ahead, John.
02:06
If I heard the rescue's on scene, tell rescue bring the elevator kit.
02:10
We believe that's going to move.
02:11
Anchoring is going to be a little bit of an issue.
02:13
If they're here, it may be quicker just to use that.
02:16
All right, 16 direct.
02:19
Rescue 16 out first. Rescue 16 out first.

Kevin, y'all is going to let you know the elevator kit is probably the way to go for us.
02:34
We also need the car for the opposite side.
02:40
It's letter H.
02:42
I'm not sure if you guys have it in a firefighting mode or what, but we're unable to get a car to the 12 soil on the back side.
02:50
It's number 8.
02:51
But yes, sir, the kit would be good and a pipe hole, 6 foot 10 foot, that's no matter.
02:55
I'll be over the kit and a 6-foot pipe hole.
