:42:00
We've got lobby control,
second alarm is in.

:42:02
- Set up a Forward Command.
- Got it.

:42:07
Chief...
:42:09
...this is Roberts, the architect.
:42:11
- What do we got here, Kappy?
- Fire started, 81 st floor, storage room.

:42:15
It's bad. Smoke's so thick,
we can't tell how far it's spread.

:42:19
- Exhaust system?
- Should've reversed automatically.

:42:22
It must be a motor burnout.
:42:24
- Sprinklers?
- They're not working on 81.

:42:27
- Why not?
- I don't know.

:42:31
- Jim?
- Yes, sir?

:42:32
Give us a quick refresher on
your standpipe system.

:42:35
Floors have 3
and 1.5-inch outlets.

:42:38
GPM?
:42:39
Fifteen hundred from ground to 68,
1000 from 68 to 100...

:42:43
...and 500 from there to the roof.
:42:45
Are these elevators
programmed for emergencies?

:42:48
- What floor are your plans on?
- 79. My office.

:42:51
That's two floors below the fire.
It'll be our Forward Command.

:42:55
Men, take up the equipment.
:42:57
Let's go.
:43:05
Architects!
:43:07
Yeah, it's all our fault.
:43:10
You know we can't fight a fire
in anything over the 7th floor.

:43:14
But you keep building them
as high as you can.

:43:18
Are you here to take me on,
or the fire?

:43:23
What about the 81 st floor?
You got everybody out of there?

:43:28
I wanna see all floor plans,
81 through 85.

:43:31
Gotcha.
:43:32
This is what worries me.
Those beams and that glass.

:43:35
Chief, 81 has been evacuated,
but it doesn't look too good up there.

:43:39
Give me a list of your tenants.
:43:41
Don't worry.
We're moving them out now.

:43:44
Not live-ins. Businesses.
:43:45
We lucked up.
Most of them haven't moved in yet.

:43:48
Those that have are off at night.
:43:50
I wanna know who they are, not where.
:43:52
What's that got to do with anything?
Who they are?

:43:56
Any wool or silk manufacturers?
:43:58
In a fire, wool and silk
give off cyanide gas.
