24s from 10s. Go ahead, Brim. When you, we're backing our line out now. When you throw the roof on the inside here, looks like it's about to come down, just FYI, if you guys are up there. Yeah, we're not moving from this spot. It's spongy everywhere else.

And I think we've got this fire knocked down inside. I just need a camera in here to look at the roof. You still got a level fire in that roof line. Chans are coming in your door to try to pull those ceilings. 3A's in there as well. Let me know what you need. 3A's clear.
