Go ahead.
00:02
Can you try to go on the east side,
00:04
on the construction side, see if you can find an entryway?
00:11
Do you want us on the east side? Yeah, we'll move down there.
00:16
In the 3-3, I'm on C&LCM command.
00:20
We're trying to find a way in right now.
00:27
Okay, I'm clear.
00:28
If we have to cut the fence, we can.
00:34
Engine 3A3, we're turning down here on the east side, and it looks like there's a gate.
00:41
Yeah, we've got a gate over here on the east side.
00:45
Okay.
00:46
It's probably that tower that's right there.
00:48
You can probably see the flame from where you're at.
00:52
All right, we'll go check it out.
00:59
383 to Meta-383.
01:00
You have an entrance on the north side.
01:06
Ladder 381 from Command.
01:10
Go for the latter one.
01:13
I want you to plan on setting up on U.S.
01:16
or State Road 32.
01:17
We might have to reach the tower.
01:19
Control from the Times Railway.
01:22
Go ahead.
01:24
I'm assuming command.
01:25
I'm going to need State Road 32 shut down until we can figure out what's going on.
01:28
Can you advise, PD?
01:30
Okay.
01:35
An engine 3A today.
01:41
Go ahead, 382.
01:45
We're approaching the power.
01:48
It's probably going to be a heat heater.
01:52
Keeping this warm, but we'll see if we can confirm.
01:58
Okay, I'm pleased.
02:04
Is that you walking by the construction trailer right now?
02:12
That's 93, yep.
02:15
Do you see a company name anywhere of who might be in charge of this site?
02:25
It's CPM,
02:28
Construction Planning and Management.
02:33
Okay, I'm clear on CPM Construction Management.
02:40
Control from command.
02:43
Go ahead.
02:45
Looks like we're 402 East Main Street.
02:50
Ambrose on Main is the name of the project.
02:55
CPM,
02:56
we see if you can find a contact for them.
03:00
Okay.
03:05
And four hundred and three, two A.
03:10
32A, this is command of it.
03:16
So at the lower level, they've got two objects burning,
03:22
open flame.
03:24
I don't know if we're going to be able to access the top.
03:31
Okay, I'm clear.
03:32
I assume it's like you mentioned, heating the atmosphere for the masonry to cure.
03:37
Does it look like there's any other hazards?
03:43
Control, Ladder 3 is unseen.
03:47
2051.
03:48
Command from Ladder 3.1, we have power lines that's drafting our access.
03:56
Okay, I'm clear on.
03:58
Aerial power lines.
03:59
Ladder 4, block that road.
04:05
Engine 3.83, hey.
04:11
Go ahead.
04:13
We put the cover back on the door opening.
04:18
As of right now, there's no hazard.
04:20
It's just a middle burner.
04:22
There's not much we can do from the ground down here.
04:26
Okay, I'm sure it just appears to be flame, and it probably is, but it's just a heater, I assume, right, no factual hazards.
04:35
Negative, it's probably the same set up they have down below.
04:38
The only thing is even up there to burn is a little bit of discreet plastic up there.
04:43
But that is not a through-bill fire, just to open flame.
04:49
Okay, I'm clear.
04:52
Are we good to just start releasing everybody?
04:57
Control from command.
05:02
Good.
05:05
Okay, there's no hazard on this site.
05:08
All colleagues can mark them when they're available.
05:10
You can read the ops and operator.
05:12
It's going to be in service.
05:15
Just try to screen call.
05:17
If we'll get any more tonight, if you need to send one unit you can.
05:21
We're not able to access it.
05:22
We do have a fire marshal looking for contact for this construction site.
05:27
I can TXU if I find out more about that.
05:31
There is no hazard on the site.
05:35
All units will mark out available in one unit.
05:38
I also am looking, but I cannot find an emergency number.
05:46
Okay, I'm clear.
05:47
I was messaged by PD as well.
05:50
They today were out here once as well tonight, so that sounds like they're already aware of the situation.
05:58
Okay.
