is 50 by 75. One is a street, two is a two-story PD, three is unknown, four is a six-story PD. We have one line stretched, not in operation. Trucks are just assessing the situation in the basement. 10-4, with the all-hands engine, 42 Ladder 33, you're extra 101. 10-4, and just let incoming units know that the street 198 is closed off due to construction.
