Rescue 11 command, you have a rescue driver going inside, meet that maintenance man, see if he can get the power kills up here.

Copy, Rescue 11. We're also trying to work on that down here. Engine 30 from Battagia 72, are you on scene?

Engine 30 from commands, when you come into the scene, don't come behind where everybody's at. I want you to find the FDC[1] up front and connect to the FTC.

Engine 30, copy. Go ahead.

Get on it up here. We're going to mop it up with an inch of three quarter.

Command from Prevention 71. Maintenance says you cannot shut the panels off and that we should not have somebody on the roof.
01:34
Put me on Arlington Center Boulevard, I'll go to fire round one.

Man,
01:45
I read you. Looks like they're on the roof adjacent to where the panels are.
01:51
What's their concern with people on the roof?
01:56
If they cannot shut power off at all, they will be live,
02:01
and so somebody can get electrocuted.

Panels do not shut off.

Rescue 11 from Battalion 72.
02:14
We're on the opposite side of a parapet wall from the panels.
02:20
Copy, that's what I thought.
02:22
Let's just make sure up on the roof everyone is away from electric cables, solar panels, and all that equipment.
02:32
Okay,
02:33
what we need now is another tower ladder with a waterway to go towards the rear of the building so they can shoot across and hit that parapet that ladder 72 cannot hit.
02:46
Copy Rescue 11. Where are you suggesting we place the ladder?
02:54
It would be the BC corner.
03:03
11 roof to command.
03:06
Go ahead.
03:11
