Truck 3A, out of the building. That's clear. Rescue 14 on floor 4. We have a little bit of water damage in the apartments below.

I'm guessing it's probably going to be all the way down because I can see it leaking out the outside of the building. So my guess is every apartment below is going to have some kind of damage. Most likely. We'll drop down one more, see how bad it is, down to 407. That's clear. Just make sure you contact, I guess, if he's with me.

Truck 3A, out of the building. That's clear. Rescue 14 on floor 4. We have a little bit of water damage in the apartments below.

Eventually, I think we're going to have to just, the smoke is cleared, but I think we're going to have to meter this floor just to make sure. We do have water up here, but I think that's going to be handled by maintenance. Thank you.
