“Southside of the building midway, pull all of the crews out. We are fixing to put some aerial streams on the building. Whatever you are doing with the hand lines are not effective. All crews from command, all crews from command, come out of the building now,” the voice on the radio says.
Action News Jax is continuing to go through the hour-long video released on the JFRD YouTube. We’ll have more developments from the video on CBS47 and FOX30 Action News Jax at 10 and 11.
