We're getting info through a towel language. So there's a delay in our info processing here. She's not sitting head on Capitol Street, black skirt, black jacket, black pants. and Tyson is also discussion on it. We're going to be starting the fire department. The cold figure can hear the person saying something about water and someone trying to put it out. I'm fine, you got hold off on the engine. I'm just showing up. I'm not sure we need it yet. I think they've already been toned, but I will, uh, I will note that. And 539, if you want to tap engine 2, Code 2 is fine. I'll just have them soak it. They last saw her going around the bend on the Capitol. That's the best that I can ascertain. In fact, the nice info for fire there. There's nothing actively burning. It just looks like it's charred. And our fellow language will probably be the best source of info.
