Okay, what's the complaint, smoke in windows or something? Yeah, I'm just about to say, it's a large open burn, very large, and close to trees. There's a group of people with it, and they just keep piling more on top of it, apparently. Yeah, we have units in the area. The fire department in the area of 67666 Melridge reports a large open burn and is asking for a deputy. Quickly, there was a vehicle earlier with a flat tire at Fairway and Forest Grove. The plate information given included (name withheld), (name withheld), (number withheld). It's reported as a Buick. The time was 2118 hours, about an hour ago. He's got a flat tire and does not need a private tow; it has to be taken to his house. Unit 11 is en route to 8045 Oakwood for a lift assist. I have a squad en route to 8045 Oakwood Drive for a lift assist. (name withheld) confirmed that address. Homeowner is extinguishing the fire with his garden hose. We heard that a few minutes ago. That was 6778 Melridge? Correct.
