10-14, this is going to be a bonafide. 10-4, and it's going to be the junkyard, right? The school is not on fire? 99.

It looks like they have a bunch of fire equipment already on scene there, so they're asking for some traffic control once you guys get there. So, just let us know where you're going to start out.

Right now it looks like the same body of fire as well. We do have an inspection all that come in for the building through the C side. We're still using master scenes off in the distance. We're just rating everything down. There's nothing in the shelter that is, anything else that's flammable except for the tanks that are inside, so we're just tending off a little bit. There's no life safety answers here, so we're just taking our time with it. Your message received, Battalion 15.
