Five ladder command. Go ahead. Yeah, we have a ladder thrown back on the C side. The flank side is covered in tarps. We can't really tell what we have, but we have a little flame on the A side, specifically across from your ladder. Ladder 5 crews are on their way up the ladder. They're going to pull the siding off around the eave. I don't want Ladder 5 on the roof. Go thermal up there with you. That's right, we got that checked. Ladder 13 started near E 16th St off Dodds and Old Ringo Road. 713 clear. Receiving non-emergency response. Communication to command: battalion advise, last-time notification. Battalion, go ahead. Ladder 5 unable to make it across to where the fire is due to the roof being unsafe. I used a thermal on the D side of the structure and the top of the sanctuary is still showing high heat. I'm clear.
