Copy, open up the wall behind sub panel in near 239. We're in unit 238. We do have a very light haze, and we also have a heat signature on the first floor in the living room. Not sure if it's adjacent to where N97 is making access next door.
00:27
If you can just try and see if that's the same heat signature that we're looking at behind that panel in the garage that Sevens is looking at, or if we have a secondary source. Engine 97, truck nine to us. Contact. 97. 87. Agent 97.

I do have smoke coming out of the window on the second floor. It looks like it's going to be near 138. If you copy, you guys go into the roof, confirming that smoke is second floor at unit 238. I think it's 238, it's one from the end. We are starting to get a little bit more production on the second floor.

Engine 91, the time, I don't want you copy. Engine 97, Captain Wass from Firefighter Solca. I'm up off the third floor of the involved unit.

But I don't believe it's enough to be coming out of a window issuing like the truck's describing. Okay, I copy that. Can you also check down on that second floor? Make sure you don't have anything underneath you. And I'm going to give you a Rescue 91 to assist with you in unit 238. Engine 91, copy.

Command from Disney 97. It appears we have smoke in between the walls between unit 239, 240. We have smoke coming through the cabinets on the third floor against the wall. We might want to get a unit to check 240. We're going to pull a hose line up into 239.
03:41
Something's out of copy, you're pulling a hose line into 239. You got a hydrant right behind water supply rate into 96, I see.

Engine 96, and you check unit 240, 240. Two40. Copy, 240. The first floor residential will be the second floor. We do have some light smoke coming out of the wall also. We're going to be pulling a hose line from Endo 97 and making our way through the garage to see if we can track out the source.

Engine 91 is in 238. I copy that break. Engine 97, I see. Just confirm it. It sounds like we've got heat signatures on both sides of you between 238 and 239 as well as between 239 and 240. Command from 97. That's affirmative.

05:42
Looks like where Seven's lane is going in. Engineer, you're right up from Firefront at King's. I'm not ready for water in the rear turns, or is... Yeah, we're working on. Hey, Sevens, you copy some smoke production from a chimney in your unit, and have you had a chance to check the attic space yet?
