3222. Go ahead. Just in case fire hasn't advised, the fire is out. There's just like seven or eight trucks here, so there's hoses everywhere. 3440, copy. Copy, thank you.

That's clear. You can stop at the 10-minute mark. Clear. Do you need move-ups? We should not need move-ups. Just a move-up to the 35. We'll be getting everybody else back in service. We'll try to get this down to Engine 35, Truck 35. That's clear. Move-up to the 35, house, getting it down to Truck 35 and Engine 35. Truck 29, all clear, primary search. Thank you.
