Division 1 from IC. Go for Division 1. Just confirming that the fire is now extinguished. Affirmative. The fire in the dumpster in the trash chute on the first floor is extinguished. We're working our way up to the second floor to just confirm. Truck 11 is working their way from the roof back down. Okay, I copy. Fire is extinguished in the dumpster and trash chute.
