What we have is the old warehouse fire.

00:41
I needed to do it out there on Bailey Avenue to the final water source that was on relayed water next to the Indian 28th, in the 20-0 industry.
00:50
I found another way to get back here.
00:52
I'm going to put out your fortification and leave the second response in this location.
00:57
But if there's been a violent situation, I only need one pumper to come back here where I am.
01:02
I'm going to come back out and show you how to get back there to this location.
01:06
And I'm going to get to the generic street.
01:09
This is, well, actually just back to the dead end side of Colette Street going back east.
01:16
East Coet and the Dead End, that's where we are.
01:24
DC Career, you also run out to the fire, I need to make sure that.
01:31
You see,
01:32
we don't have enough room to get back here for all these units.
01:35
We don't just take that second response,
01:38
have them stage on Fourth Vacation at Baylor Avenue, and I'll give them directions the way we can get in.
01:44
But right now, we're playing all these doing is that, and we're just going to bother them to take nobody's there to do anything.
01:49
Let's try to get a strategy together for this past and not related back to you.
01:56
It's the 3, Red Street 1.
01:57
Is there a plug down there where you located?
02:00
Rescue 1 standard on the plug.
02:08
Roger, there is a plug at the corner of Bailey and Coheena.
02:17
Rescue 1Aid, Rishue 1 operator.
02:19
Go ahead and catch that plug.
02:20
Get them a water source up here.
02:21
20 feet on help you.
02:25
So we need additional manpower to assist for getting that water plug hooked up to engine 20 or engine 3.
02:33
So any unit out there on Baylor Avenue at 9.30 address, please provide manpower so we can get down here.
02:43

02:46

02:48

03:03
