Rescue 9, go ahead. Alright, Heavy Rescue 9, we're going to send you 3100 block of Highland Drive between Durham Ed and Highland Avenue. This appears to be someone stuck in a vehicle, and the vehicle is flooding. That's clear. We're kind of tied in with the 14s. We got a pretty bad run here on Madison. So, I'll let you know when we're clear of this. Okay, I'll go ahead and put you on that run.
