you're going to have the recon group. Would you like me to send engine 7-3 up with the second meter they're staging behind your apparatus?

01:47
The propane tank is to the Charlie side of the house.
01:52
Okay.
01:54
Is you happen to have any crew members check that to see if there's anything showing on the gauge if it might have gone empty on us?
02:03
There's only the two of us in here operate right now, so as soon as he comes down from the division, our division two, we'll go out and check.
02:12
7.3 is coming up. I told them face-to-face to give it a check when they come up. So they'll check it, let us know.

Before we got here.
03:06
Okay, I've got it.

With the information that you have so far with no odor and no readings on the single meter, I already comfortable holding it with what we have here on the scene.
03:22
That's correct.
03:23
If somebody could run a sniffer up here to the house, that'd be good. We've got our 4 gas meter, but we didn't grab the smithfer. All right, 7.3, do you have the combustible gas indicator with you?
03:38
That's good, sir.
03:43
Okay.
03:45
As soon as we get your readings, 7-3 and confirm that the readings are the same as what engine 112 got will scale back.
03:58
Okay. The second meter, all normal readings throughout the house.
