Female is now currently approaching the child. That is correct. No active flames. Temps are around 111. Solar panels are definitely burned through. Still keeps on smoldering.

Command from 241. 241, go ahead for command. We are in the attic space. We've got a light smell smoke, no active fire, no visible smoke. Received. Do you have a thermal camera up there with you? We do. We've got a little bit of heat on the Bravo Charlie corner. We're going to go try to investigate a little bit further.
