Fire TAC. Yeah, we definitely got burned up, um, insulation in the attic of the second story. It looks like maybe a, um, exhaust fan burnt up and dropped into the attic. There's active fire, but we're definitely getting that out to make sure the insulation is all up. Fire TAC copies. I see your firefighters on the roof. Can you have them point to which unit you think it's coming from? Fire TAC copy.

I'll coordinate with fire TAC. Copy. Fire TAC, copy direct. Go ahead and see if there's other on the second floor. You can find that fan. Fire TAC, direct. Fire TAC from Truck 35. Fire TAC.
