Engine 14 was at scene first. Can I just confirm, Engine 14 and Engine 26 were the other way around? Engine 14 first and twice. Engine 14, Division 2, Engine 6, Division 1. Looks like we have construction going on. It looks like they were sweating pipe on the second floor. Looks like we might have a fire on the wall. So, Division 1, Division 2, if you guys can go ahead and hook up my crew here. 14, copy. Shark 14 at scene.

IC Engine 17, Firefighter A Bravo. Engine 17, Firefighter, go. Should be some insulation on fire in the walls. Checking for extension, still no smoke or fire. No need for ventilation. Okay, I copy. Engine, is that wall already open like they were working on the wall? Or can you kind of describe a little bit more?
