9 Sam 4. 39 Sam 4. We're on 4000 Gypsy Lane. We just got flagged down by a passerby in reference to a fire inside the home. It looks like an abandoned property. We're at the end of Gypsy Lane, right before Lincoln on the right-hand side. Alright, I'll call fireboard. Do we see flames? Yes, in the living room. Alright, I got you. I'm calling fireboard now. Stand by. 9th, you can show us that down to the block traffic. Got you. Tom 2, you can show us that down. You're on.

So when are we going to do more about squatters to prevent abandoned homes from becoming dangerous house fires? Do you guys remember when the police were seen as a government-paid group of individuals whose work protected property and land owners? Now they're just like "whatever, the squatters didn't run directly at us when they heard the sirens, so we didn't find them and we recognize that arson has happened, but we're not going to do anything about it"
