Car 2, B-Avise on the Charlie side, there is a truck that is additionally on fire.

Can we set some dump tanks up to supply engine 21 and drop another supply line 224?
01:22
You know, we can do that and supply the handlines.
01:25
We're not going to be able to hit the...
01:29
with a deck gun off 21.
01:31
We're too far away, but we could definitely run the two and a half lines off there.
01:36
Okay, let's, hey, Lincoln tanker just pulled up in front of me, let's get a dump tank supplied to engine 21.
01:45
Let's supply ladder 24 with engine 21.

Chief, Lincoln, Gary, got dump tank set up by 23.
02:07
We're going to full of second line and use Lincoln's ground monitor, so we'll have two ground monitors being set from 23, as that works for you.
02:15
Okay, that sounds perfect.
02:18
I'm just trying to get, I've got a tanker back here that's got a dump tank on it that's just sitting.
02:23
I'd like to get additional water supplied to ladder 24 if we can.
02:36

GP advised, we're not able to get any water flow out of 24.
04:09
For some reason we can't get pressure.
04:14
Hey, Rocky, you're going to have to shut down the two and a half crosslay on 23 that got charged so we can pick the nozzle off.
04:23
Okay, I'm with you now.
04:24
We're shut down.
04:29
Okay, Kimmy, if I go back here and shut the Hydern off,

04:37
them out of the way and bring Charleston's ladder truck and put that position.
04:43
Well, they, can they get back there to where 24 is at?
04:49
They could possibly do that if they go around the backside of the hotel.
04:52
We're restarting everything on 24 to see if we can get it to go.
04:59

05:01

We're throwing another monitor on the delta side where this 500-count throw-pan cylinder is at.
08:27
And we're going to back away from this.
08:30
We'll flow the water away from the building.
08:34
Okay.
08:35

08:37
I was just told that there's that large propane tank right there on the side, 1,000 gallons.
08:45
So I don't want, I do not want you to put 309 where 24 is.
08:53
Let's back away from the Delta side.
