Go ahead, truck. Hey, when you're done down there, most of the hot spots up here are the next four up. Just, uh, grab the HFD quarter and come up here when you're done, and we'll knock some of these hot spots up. We're doing a second research at this time. Also, when you guys come out, try to just do a quick secondary. Make sure there's no bodies, and then come up here and we'll put these hot spots out. Copy that. Just be advised, we do have a couple of rooms with hot spots, so we're just trying to get a good extinguishment. Copy that.

Alpha side is going to be off Hope. We are opening up on the Alpha Bravo corner to gain access on the interior. Be advised, this is a known...
