Battalion 14, Engine 6, do you come over here with this building? I'm not. I'm pretty sure it's a commercial boarded up office building. We burned it a couple times before. We're going to be leading in with a plug on the corner of American River and Scripps. Battalion 14 is on scene. We have a fenced and boarded up building. It does look like this is burned multiple times. We have fire showing from Alpha, Delta side. This is going to be a defensive fire. Let's lean in, set up.
