Okay, what they were trying to do, they were trying to hit the fire that's along the roof line. And the state court is still in playing here, so it's kind of shooting over. They're repositioning it. We're going to reopen it, let us know if it gets anything near ladder three. It's just one to have. Go to command. This size room we're hitting on Court Street. Where am I taking it to? Where are I supplying it?

Car 9, take care of that. We drive with Richardson. Go ahead. Make it a double-feeling national. Radio-a-meat, (number withheld) available. In the media, (number withheld), you're available 0-230 seconds. Car 8 to the tower block it. You think you can get over to that bay window and take that out, too?

Yeah, so I was just going to try, but you got to get everybody away from the parking lot there, because if we miss, it's going to really hurt somebody. Everyone in the parking lot clear, for any for an impact. Yeah, for me, we're good. Be driving, I want to just let me know when you want that charge. Whoops, she's moving up now.

To ladder three drivers. Good. No one wants to know where you need this double female. I don't know. Double female goes now hydrant at fifth and fourth. We already have a double female there. That's taken care of.

Okay, look, you have another one. Give it to me at church and court. I'm going to lay up the back as well. Sorry, you're missing everything in overshund. Sorry to the Peru in (number withheld), Washington Street. Sorry, go ahead to T's 25.

Is there additional windows and can we supply another line from a different angle on that building? Yeah, we're checking now. Car 1 hasn't been checking the 4th floor from 412. We must have access there. All right, do what you can to give me more vault on the fire. Ladder 1 to 8. On the water is scared. We don't want to set up a flypipe.

Call for our main here and just like a tower take care of it. Let's see, let's go with the tower for now. Chris do. I tried to work that AP corner without any success there. If I could get close enough, maybe we could breach the cockpit out front here, but I don't like the way that power pit looks and keep people below it way it's starting to move over it. Copy.

Rest me too, radio and fireoffs, too. Rest you too.
