Dispatch 28 Engine. Engine 28, go ahead. Yeah, this is a very large oak tree in the back of this residence here. That seems to be structurally sound, no smoke or fire in or outside of the tree. They're going to call someone and come take a look at it tomorrow, see if it needs to be cut down. Received, were you guys back in service? Yes, you can show us back, thanks. 10-4.
