Which line from the hydrant? Or is there too much pressure for that?
00:06
Pressure. Starting control mode.
00:07
10-52.
00:08
The line's just going to have to maintain pressure for now.
00:12
So I'm cracking, I have the bleeder valve open, it's just pissing out the bottom.
00:16
I would close the main valve for the pump to tank, or from the hydrant to the tank, that main valve.
00:25
Yeah, I closed that, that's been closed.
00:27
I just have the bleeder valve open to keep pressure off the main valve.
00:31
Copy that.
00:32
Maybe we have a key wrench we can turn off the water here on the ground.
00:35
Yeah, Chief, are you familiar with where the sprinkler box is there next to the apron at 7.
00:40
The negative.
00:41
And just in case if you beat me there, just to the right side of the apron, there's a sprinkler box.
00:49
If you open that up and turn the valve in there, it will turn on the sprinkler to wet down the landing zone so they don't kick up a bunch of dust when they're coming in.
