8 to command. Command, go ahead. 18, second floor is good. We're going to shut down this line, pick it up. That's clear. Do we still have a line on the third floor? That's correct. That's clear. 49, you can shut down that Red Cross way. That's clear. Red Cross way, get shut down. The Red Cross will be pulling up on board next to Truck 18 if anybody needs a snack.

Command to Engine 8, have you seen any change in conditions since we turned the fan on? 8 to command, no, we're good up here. I think we're getting one of the last hot spots. That's clear. We'll keep somebody on 2 and 3, so we're confirmed for sure. Copy that.

Absolutely heartbreaking. These are my neighbors. Chief—I think you could’ve been more sensitive when talking about the family cat that passed. “2 adults were displaced”…that cat was a part of their family…Yes, we’re all glad that no humans were hurt. It’s still devastating for anyone to lose a beloved pet…especially so unexpectedly like that.
