Mate to the brunt. 18 Battalion, K. 384 at 4147. Yeah, we had a call fire in the driveway. There was no extension to the house or any surrounding properties at all. Like 89 and 50 to the 4, an 18 would be good, but 89 and 50 put ourselves on the box. All the other units are going to go 10-8 when they become available. Battalion 18, 10-4. Time is 1804, dispatcher 200. 10-4.
