As a resident of the Bronx, I did hear the stories and the testimonies that was witness to that fire, and it was horrible.
2:39:30
At that same time, we're learning about fire smoke dampers, and I'm thinking if in any way Are they even in those buildings?
2:39:39
Those buildings will have fires if they don't have anything.
2:39:42
So it's like, once you start learning about the internal part of the business, And what it does to the people that actually reside in those areas is very, very impacting.
2:39:52
So for insulin 882, come into effect, it it will be great for not only us that are working on the outside and, you know, it is providing jobs and everything for everyone, It is something that is to take in fact because it is a a safety measurement for people and, you know, for survival out here.
