Thank you. Okay, unit four. We are staged near SE Grant St due to police activity in the area. Copy. I'm showing you safe. We're trying to get as close as possible. Can you see unit three's rig on your map? Yes, you can see it. You can come up here and stage by C3; you've got good access and won't get trapped. Command engine thirty-one: the house in question is the house near SE Grant St directly south of the target address. Thank you. 304, we confirmed you want us to stage by C3; this is opposite of what police told us. Can you repeat? We just want to confirm staging by C3 since this is opposite of police instructions. Affirmative. I've got good access; you can take your route up there. Three and four copies. You might be delayed for a while. Truck seven, we made access to the spans by flipping it. We have some smoke inside. We're making access from the rear door now. Copy. Command from dispatch, do you want me to restart the timer? Command for safety. 7433 North Interstate Avenue, you'll be on Obst one. It's 548. Command from safety, go ahead. As crews work inside, minimize damage to the structure beyond suppression efforts, because this is a crime scene and police will need evidence. Investigators remind us to limit destruction. Me and (name withheld) seven, ready now. I'm cutting pump channel for fire right now. Still working on our search. Copy. 302 can cancel fire for a gate and return. Very good. (name withheld), we have to go to the back door; can we get a fan to the back door for search? New fans get sent now.
