Adam, once again, to one of those stores, pass through the back so we can check this corridor behind the dry cleaner, the laundromat.
00:35
Down for us.
00:42
To the rescue.
00:49
Rescue, go ahead.
00:53
Actually, have your crew going through the...
01:00
Through the laundromat.
01:03
Down there by you now.
01:05
Come out through the corridor or check in there.
01:06
They don't have the keys to get into something behind.
01:12
Sample.
01:18
To the tanker.
01:26
Tanker stays at Hendrickson Avenue and Greenbush Road at the entrance to the house, the side entrance.
01:33
Tankers, tenfold.
01:35
One or two.
01:37
Yes, sir.
01:39
You have any odor back there?
01:42
More like a launcher mat odor than a gas odor and nothing.
01:48
All right, China Tase is clear and just an FYI, the key that was in the Knox Box is not to sit that locked, but when I went to go check it, there were already keys in the lock.
02:04
Definitely.
02:11
Two to one, do you have any further orders up front?
02:18
No, I haven't spelled it since we got here.
02:21
I'm gonna go walk out on the park island, soon we check over by the sewers stuff.
02:25
Did they already clear night, bagels?
02:28
Yeah, they're in the rear now.
02:31
All right, time on.
02:33
Two to one.
02:35
One.
02:37
The one gas meter in the rear is running a lot.
02:43
I'm trying to figure out what it feeds.
02:46
All right.
02:51
All right, so we can't get into 5150,
02:57
and the nail place.
03:00
I don't think it's open either.
03:04
All right, the keys don't work.
03:09
I'll check again, but I think there weren't.
03:12
Yeah, there's two Knox boxes in the front.
03:15
There should be keys for everything.
03:18
All right, that's all right.
03:24
Where the gas is running,
03:27
it's the four stores towards the west side.
03:36
(number withheld).
03:45
Two rescue, two one.
03:49
One.
03:53
Do you want me to open this side door for you? Brett Dia top of the stairway.
03:57
Uh,
03:59
go through two, ease and commit.
04:01
Mike, you 5150, clear.
04:05
What's that for? Yeah, come out to rear, guys.
04:07
That corridor behind should come up to us.
04:17
Man, two to one of us back out the front.
04:21
I got negative in the odors in the rearvent.
04:23
(number withheld), of course.
04:26
(number withheld), you're going to come straight forward and around the back by the loading dock.
04:30
You need the laser, the, um, the gas on that crazy,
04:34
the launcher mat, which would make sense to the drop.
04:37
All right, time for it.
