Command from Engine 31, Firefighter. We've got eight batteries down here. They're heating up to about 145 at the hottest. If we get a roof ladder, we could get down there and disconnect them.

Command from Engine 31, Firefighter. We're just hitting these batteries inside here that are still hot. The area where the fire was, where you can see it from the outside, is cold. We have a pretty good angle to hit it from here. I think we keyed up at the same time, but I got here hitting the batteries, and it looks like that area is knocked down. We're going to reposition the ladder right now. Y'all stay on the roof, do what you're doing, and we're going to send chainsaws to rehaul, to overhaul that area. Received.

All units, we hit it with a booster line. It looks like it's just going to be contained to this fair pit area. It's a small, little small run fire. I think we can reduce the alarm to Rescue 31, Engine 31, and we'll wait on Quint 19.
