Operations L1.

Go ahead.

You give me a report from Division 2? Division 2 numbers were roughly around 15 parts of a million.
01:22
We're back down on Division 1.
01:24
Our numbers are dropped by a couple of points.
01:29
We're going to make sure.
01:30
Okay, before you do that,
01:33
I would like us to start the air up if we get permission from Division 3.
01:41
Good coffee, we can stand by.
01:44
Okay, this is a big house, so we're going to have to puff it up in pretty good shape and open doors and windows as we go along.
01:51
No mother nature helping us tonight here.
01:57
Okay,
02:01
we're going to open a door and start puffing you up here if you want to crack a window someplace or open a good-sized window for us.
02:13
We're going to try to isolate when we're going to stop.
02:42
Thank you.
02:54
Go ahead, gate five.
02:57
Division three, all clear.
03:03
No readings at all, sir.
03:07
Possibly one or two on steel,
03:10
but very well, nothing to be concerned with.
03:14
Okay,
03:15
we may have to re-evaluate that after we get done on the first floor,
03:20
and then we're going to go to the second Division II.
03:24
I don't know this old house if it's leaky enough to push it to three.
03:30
Time for it, we're going to access that at the site.
03:33
Copy that, just hang on the Charlie's side if you would, please.
03:39
Good copy.
03:44
Command of Station 1 update.
03:49
Go ahead, Command.
03:51
Yeah, we started ventilation two minutes ago.
03:55
Only levels that we found, apparently, were on Division I,
03:58
possibly from a burner on the stove that was not lit but turned on.
04:02
I heard part springling at 2.020 on CO.
04:08
Division 2, 3, and Sub 1 were no levels or maybe a tiny little bit upstairs.
04:14
If we're going to ventilate, reassess.

When you were on Division 3, is there a gas range up there?
05:10
To be honest, I didn't look that closely.

We can head back up if you'd like.
05:16

We have two gas tank,
05:21
two regulators, two lines going into this building, so we have two gas appliances somewhere's inside.

We know the Division I gas range.
