61, if you can take oncoming on the off-ramp. We have a little fire working on this embankment, but it's held by a drainage canal on the other side of the fence. I'll contact this from the on-ramp, off-ramp.

50. Off-ramp. We have sheriff on scene blocking highway traffic, so we're clear to enter on the off-ramp. We do have some grass involved at this point in time. It's less than a quarter acre. It looks like it's going to be a box between the parking lot and the freeway, so let's go ahead and just have the type 1 to respond and work on fire attack. Copy, best access off of Mather, taking the oncoming on the on-ramp, off-ramp, sorry. Affirm, Engine 62's location and TC will mark.
