Inside is clear, concrete floor. They have two vehicles, one being Bravo Charlie Horner, the Delta Fire and Bravo Number 1. The rest of the warehouse looks clear. I can see straight out the truck pointing to the outside and to the Delta side. I also see daylight. Structural members appearing back, suspect is a Delta.

Bravo Division in the house. There's a hole in the Bravo side, and I just walked the entire Apple side of the building. Pretty much all visible fire. We just got small pockets of smoldering.

flowing right now. We're going to change up our tactics a little bit. We're going to have an aerial ladder, monitor pipe go to the roof area, and I got Baltimore County Engine 6 going to put a tooth and a half in this Broadway and Charlie corner. Looks like the only pocket back here burning in this corner is a vehicle.
