Metro Avalon, I see all of 21s and all of 14s, going to handle an outside rubbish fire that did not extend inside. We can go back to 7, we're going to keep the TAC. Roger, we'll take Command 10 back. Intersection of Avalon and 43rd, all of 21s and 14s, going to be able to handle. We're going to go back to Channel 7, take command.

Metro, Task Force 21 is on scene. It's a corrected address for Avalon and 43rd. We'll be good for now. It's a homeless encampment exposing a vacant, large vacant church. The church is a three-story with two above and one below. We'll be in the offensive mode for now, be known as Avalon IC. Left staging will be at 42nd Street, Avalon. We'll be right back.
