Frederick to Guilford Road Command, Incenderation 41 minutes, thank you 53.
00:08
Mayn, an investigation group?
00:12
Good.
00:17
I got another building rep on the scene here, actually from an office,
00:22
and the advice they have had HVAC units.
00:25
They were just here earlier today or yesterday.
00:30
The maintenance person that I got a hold of now has about a three, four hour ETA, and she's trying to get a hold of somebody else.
00:39
He's okay with shutting all the units off, and he'll take care of when he gets here.
00:46
Okay, that sounds like a good idea.
00:49
We are ventilating right now and I think we're making a little bit of progress because of the size and the smaller opening that we have, it might take a little bit.
01:01
Okay, sounds good.
01:03
Roof, did you copy if you just want to shut these other units, so I'll just go ahead and do it.
01:08
Alright, we're having a face-of-face.
01:14
Bruce the command.
01:18
Okay.
01:24
We are going to suck all four units down.
01:32
Okay, sounds good.
01:33
I'll let this other rip here now.
01:39
I do have a shutdown button down here by the...
01:45
Uh,
01:46
sprinkler, ring, anyone hit that?
01:50
Sure, we'll turn them off up here as well.
01:57
Let me know when you hit that switch.
02:02
It's been active.
02:06
Investigation group, one of the occupants is coming in the building now.
02:12
Okay.
02:14
All four units on the roof are shut down.
02:25
Okay.
02:28
Are you guys going to keep this gutting so forth open?
02:33
I'll let you know when I get down there.
02:40
It's okay to let it 3-1 go.
02:48
That's correct.
02:54
Investigations, you go with closing this roof hatch? Yeah.
03:01
All right, we'll close on our way down.
03:08
Command Frider.
03:09
Go ahead, Freder.
03:11
Go for Draft Command.
03:19
Isolated the...
03:21
calls to the units on the roof.
03:23
All four units were shut down.
03:25
Building maintenance is in contact.

They've contacted an alternative number also for maintenance trying to get them here quicker.
03:38
They've been advised that the units are off.
03:41
Ventilation is ongoing.
03:42
I'm going to go and terminate the command and remaining initial advice.
03:46
