13:55 Third alarm is cancelled by new IC, because the exposure building’s firewall is holding
16:00 L7 Alpha (officer?) decides to do recon from the roof of exposure building. He informs his division chief (Div Delta – B5) but the message doesn’t get to the IC (89). This can be seen in the Kiro video at 32:00
16:47 The IC tries to figure out who is on the roof of the building and why. To the commander’s credit, once L7 explains his reasoning and plan, the IC goes with it and establishes a rooftop division.
