Dispatch Engine 1. Engine 1, City Streets is inquiring if the e-scooter is safe to transport at this time. That's affirmative. It's actually in scene. Bike battery is going to be in a 5-gallon container, and it's being packaged right now. Copy.

B1, Engine 1, already contracted 30s. This is going to be taken care of with like a 5-gallon bucket and some cell mix. That should be able to handle it. There's no other injuries. No one else has been exposed. And we have the area cordoned off. And that's the update for now. Alright, do you still want PD to block down the road? Yes, please. What was the intersection again you wanted? 5th, north of N. That's the way the wind's pushing.

We already shut down O with the engine in yellow shape, but if this runs, if this runs off again, the wind is going to push fumes north of us towards 5th and End. Alright, Battalion 1, copies.
