We have the walking line, IBC.
01:03
Truck 425 from command.
01:12
Go ahead.
01:17
Last time we were here for this, it was the restaurant down here on the Delta side.
01:30
Okay, we can start our recon there.
01:36
Yeah, as a truck, just you head to that.
01:40
We were also on the first floor last time, so it wasn't the upper level they're talking up now.
02:05
Command, John 404.
02:10
Go ahead, engine 404.
02:14
Chief, did you want us to support the truck company or going with engine 425?
02:21
Why don't you support the truck company? Rescue 401,
02:24

03:14
Command from truck 425. No odors or readings at the door. We're going to see if we can't access the restaurant from within on the first floor.
03:26
I don't believe you can, but you can get a good sense by going in through that loading dock because there was an odor in the loading dock last time. So if you go in through side alpha and head towards that loading dock, you might be able to get an idea.
03:51
Command, 425. Engine 425.
03:57
Floor 6 and 47 are clear. We're on floor number 8. We do have an odor in the elevator lobby.
04:04
No readings at this time. We're knocking on doors.
04:07
We connected with the caller saying that they smelled it about an hour ago.
04:15
Okay, so just an odor in the elevator lobby, not in the elevator at all.
04:27
That's correct.

04:37
Go ahead.
04:41
Taste is assembled.
04:43
We have no readings on the meter, but we are getting some activity on the census.
04:48
We're requesting a force entry.
04:54
Yeah,
04:58
they didn't have an Xbox key last time either, so you should be able to get in pretty easy.

05:50
Engine 425, repeat, I cut you off.
05:57
Unless you have another unit to check the floor above us, we can do that since we're in the tower by ourselves.
06:09
Rescue 401 should be coming up there with you.
