200. 200. Yeah, I'm over here on this fire. They're staging all the fire apparatuses on Cottage between 47th and 48th. So we're going to need a car at 48th and Cottage stopping the northbound traffic. And we're going to need one at 47th stopping southbound.

212, 271 might want to be on Cottage. 212, you on Cottage? 212, we're on direction, going west. Eastbound on Cottage, needs to be blocked. 271 can go over there. Alright, 10-4. 271, um, 48 and Cottage, for the eastbound track. 10-4, coming out of block. Alright, QT.
