Full transcript
I'm Detective Senior Constable Ryan Hall from NSW Police, and I'm investigating the suspicious fire at your shop on Beamish Street, Campsie, early this morning.
Eu acordei por volta das duas da manhã com um cheiro forte de fumaça. Vi chamas na loja ao lado e liguei imediatamente para o número de emergência.
Can you tell me exactly what time you noticed the smoke, and whether you saw anyone near the shops beforehand?
Antes de ligar, vi um homem correndo para longe das lojas, mas não consegui ver o rosto dele. O fogo destruiu três lojas na rua.
Do you have security cameras installed at the shopfront, and have you already contacted your insurance company about the damage?
Tenho uma câmera de segurança, mas ela está com defeito há algumas semanas. Ainda não liguei para o seguro, estava esperando o relatório da polícia.
A forensic examiner from Fire and Rescue NSW will inspect the scene this week. There's no fixed number of days for this—it depends entirely on the evidence found.
Isso pode demorar quanto tempo? Preciso pagar o aluguel da loja daqui a três semanas e estou muito preocupada com o negócio.
I can't promise an exact date, but I'll update you regularly as soon as the forensic team finishes examining the scene thoroughly.
Posso pelo menos limpar a parte da frente enquanto isso, ou preciso esperar a liberação completa da investigação?
If the scene hasn't been formally released by Fire and Rescue NSW, you won't be permitted to reopen—it's sealed for safety and evidence reasons.
Entendo. Quando o relatório estiver pronto, vocês podem me dar uma cópia para eu enviar à seguradora?
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
