CO18. CO18. It's our own location out here. It seems to be localized just to 5923. It's the end of the row. So, the only house next to it is 5921. It's got the last two ladders. Received. And so far, nobody was trapped? Nobody was injured in reference to this? No, the fire board and the officers evacuated 21, 23, and there was somebody who was on the second floor roof of the property that's on fire. Fire board got them down with a ladder. Received. We're still only dealing with one alarm so far? That's correct.
