I'm going to stage you also on Davis Street for the moment. I'm going to press a little bit further before we deploy any more resources. Where do you want us to stage? David Street, East Davis Street, closest to Main Street if you were, along with Lightning Air Tent. Wagon Nats on the scene stage. Division 2, can you give me a status on conditions on that floor? Chief 9, if you can meet me at my buggy, if you come in off of Culpeper Street, come around through the depot side, you should be able to gain access. Engine one to command. Were you asking for an update? Yes, I was. One 15, go ahead. Okay. We got about a 10 by 15 hole in the ceiling at this time. We got fire that's burned through trusses in the ceiling. We're in the process trying to get an extension ladder into the ceiling to check for hot spots and extension. Attempting contact hit. 2.0068, we're not calling this contained yet, correct? Correct. Two, zero six eight black tag, 0104. That's correct. I'll know more in about five minutes. Any additional resources? Can you repeat? Do you have any need for additional resources? Not at this time. Okay. roof to command. We have about a five-foot space in between the actual roof and the ceiling. It's like five feet in between it. I still have one firefighter that's trying to make this way past HBHC stuff at that scuttle. We can see layers of blowing in insulation. It looks to be that older style, the paper style, insulation. I'm sure that's probably running the... that attic stuff. I'm directed on that truck. Engine one to command. Engine one to wagon two, crew. Go ahead, division two. This is roof. Do you have direct access to the ceiling above us? We have it through two of the squirrel vents. We poke holes through the ceiling at both of those locations. I have two firefighters trying to make their way through that area, way of the attic scuttle or the roof scuttle. Okay. If I bring you a tick, are you able to scan that ceiling? No, no, we can't. Like I told command a second ago, that is blown in, appears to decolation, and the fire is going to stay bedded in that. Most, all of that ceiling is going to have to be chucked out. Engine one to command. Before Division two.
