3287 on the air. Go ahead. Yeah, after they put out the fire, it appears it's just a piece of crap car, and they jerry-rigged a gas can on the passenger side on the outside to feed some kind of fluid into the engine bay. Arson, I'm not sure if it is right now. I don't think it is. And then there's nobody inside. They just left the junk car to be on fire. Okay.

3287 to 5A. Yeah, go ahead. There was a gas can hanging outside of the passenger window, so I don't know if you want to have a cruiser swing over here. It might be an arson thing. I copy.

Match 3287 to zone 5. Go ahead. I'm on my way home in my POV, and I'm over here at Frank 104. There is a car actively on fire. Okay, on Frank Road at 104? It is right at the junction, just east of the intersection. I see fire coming up right this second. Okay, copy.
