(name withheld), primary service is complete. Man, copy. Primary service is complete. Engine 7, just to clarify, that would include the basement and the first level. Copy first floor. Do you make sure the basement's clear as well? Can we hit from engine four? Go ahead, engine four. We've done after this and they add it. We're going to add it. We're checked on G5-on-2. I'm sorry. He says any positive will be available. I'm sorry, you repeat your traffic. I had another car calling on another channel. Press the command. We're 20 minutes in. 20 minutes. Copy, thank you. 20 minutes in. We've got the fire knockdown. We're beginning overhaul operations. Primary search is complete with no one found in the structure. We'd add just some light, lazy smoke coming from the eaves still. Go ahead and give me another 10, please. Copy. And did you just want the investigators to come talk to you on fire, or do you want them to respond? I'm going to imagine he's going to want to respond, but I didn't know if he was still on the previous fire or not. I could talk to him on my cell phone to give him my head up. Copy. Copy. Dispatch, Fire[1] 62. Copy's correct. I'm about to clear my last fire. If you want to send a page out for me, I'll head to that one as soon as I can. Sounds good, Fire 602, thank you. And all crews on Steam, we have READ set up at 13th and Norton. We're on to the west of Vision 4. Just as a man, please mark this, that ventilation is beginning. Copy ventilation beginning. This is fast fire 62. Fire 62. Can you clear me from the 1424 King Avenue Fire and assign me to the 1525 13th Street Fire, please? Happy. Go ahead for command. Get some visible flame on this sea side on the east. Copy. We've picked up this second line already. Interior, use your line right at the moment. No, we're not. Can you have any location? Now, probably you could put it out the window of the room that was on fire. We could just grab it and extinguish we had a small fire under the east. So as you're doing your overhaul, also give some consideration to where the main part of the house is as opposed to that back part that they've added on.
