IC from Division 1. Go for IC. The neighbors are telling me the unit that was on fire is vacant. We do have one patient with minor inhalation. He's the neighbor. I'm going to send him out to the rescue to get him checked out. Copy, Rescue 100. Did you copy that traffic from Division 1? We have one patient.

Metro from Hatteras IC, we had a two-story garden-style fire, one unit on the first floor. We have a knockdown. Currently we're going to be able to handle with all the resources we have. No additional resources will be needed. I will update you in a few minutes. I'm going to hold on to TAC for right now. Hatteras IC, roger. Would you like to take it back to 8? Hold on to TAC 18.

Units above and adjacent, we do not have any extension into any of the exposures. We have a knockdown on the bulk of the fire. Looked like it was a small fire that was held in check with a dry cam. We have no active this time. Division 1 from ICU, roger. Small, conscious fire, no extension to any other unit. You're comfortable with it? We'll be able to first alarm assignment.

It was an empty unit and the painter left paper in the unit which caused the fire

How did a fire start in a vacant unit?
