Right, commanding. Platform 11-0-6. Right, command, command. From your vantage point, do you see any actual flames or just a good period of free water in front.
00:24
No, we can't see any actual flames. We do have considerable heat on the ticks and a lot of smoke coming out of this window where Ladder 9 is at. All right, let's see. The last I got from Ladder 9 is over.
00:47
We're going to let safety continue to do what they're doing with our handline. We had shut up on the level now phone from that window. If safety needs to slow that handline with our handpass. We actually do see some flames on the Charlie side wall and have a good angle to hit it from where we are.
01:12
Okay, let me get with safety just to make sure they're open with it. Okay, safety from command. Thank you. Yes, sir, we have platform 11 in the original locations.
01:39
Saying they could hit some visible flames. Are you okay with them running their platform, or do you still want them shut down? Okay, one second. All right, mark from 11. Let's just hold all for now. This is five from 11 say again, your last command.
02:06
Yeah, he's going to let us know here if you just go ahead and hang tight. We'll see what he says. Left on the liver seat standing by. And from Latternoyne. Go ahead Latternoy. So this is like a 30-foot hallway that hits a brick wall and goes left.
02:33
Actually, that smoke's pushing out of this smaller window that my engineers are lighting up. So you either have to go in from this doorway or further down and come back towards us. Okay, do you see any visible flames now? No, but the kids show some heat back there on the left towards that smaller window.
03:00
Mr. Rich, I could be fire back there. It's about 600 degrees. Okay, Commander C. I know on that side, safety is in there with engine 11. I think that might be the spot. Let's go ahead and pull off there. We might be getting platform 11 set up. We're waiting to hear from safety if they're okay with it. Command, Mr. Safety, go ahead.
03:29
We back around the corner. All right, safety, receive, you're good with platform 11 running. That's correct. We're in a defensive position. They won't affect us. All right, platform 11 from Pan. It's top one and 11th. Go ahead, go ahead. Yes, sir, you can go ahead and open up your water and get what you can get.
03:58
