Engine 44. Procedure 44. 5, rescue 43. We have two residential dumpsters above a building and one commercial dumpster and a park behind it. We have two lines with Engine 5 on the commercial dumpster. Both of the fires have been knocked down in all three. We're overhauling the two smaller dumpsters. We also have an activated alarm, CHA, high-rise on 48th Street. We show farther.

Engine 44. Engine 44. Advise, Engine 5 is going to be Brandywine Street. We have three dumpsters on fire. One of them, a box of buildings. That's where we have the alarm going off. I'm investigating that now.

16 Andy. 16 Andy. Since the two of the dumpsters are separate from the other, if somebody could close off 40th Street right there off of Lancaster, so fireboard can get another piece of equipment there if needed. 1622, can you block off 40th and Lancaster? Received, I'll head down.
