Engine 4-6 to Manhattan. 4-6. We're on the Trans-Manhattan now. We can see that shop-right truck. It looked like it had an engine fire, knocked down with a dry-chem extinguisher. It's going to be on the ramp as you exit the Deegan northbound to the George Washington Bridge. The only way to get to this ramp is to head north on the Deegan towards the bridge. It's right on the ramp. Alright, 10-4. 13, received? Alright.
