Regi 25 of down no pain 3322 East Garnett Street. Go ahead. Hey, battalion ball up on engine seven. Right now we just have a large rubbish and a vacant lot homeless encampment. We do have reports that there wasn't explosion before we got here. Right now we're just trying to get a knockdown with the water battery. Okay, I copy. If it's not exposing anything, let it burn both of those fireworks up. Yeah, we haven't confirmed if there's fireworks in there or not. We just heard reports of the explosion, but we do have one homeless individual inside we're trying to evacuate right now.
