up your group. Go ahead. Go ahead. Just seeing if you were still awake or if you lost track of time. We're actually in the drive to the X hour employee parking. which is just off of MLK and Southwest 15, had a small homeless camp fire here. Individual met us here and said that it was his camp and that someone had set fired in. I can't really tell where it started. There may have been maybe two tents, shopping cart and some other items here. There's a bicycle. Lots of debris. any chance there's any cameras or anything in the air we could possibly get a suspect from? There is a camera. It looks like. It's probably the Meredith building or the old Meredith building on the corner of it. It looks like there's cameras in about maybe two or three different locations. Hang on. meet with this individual as well. He was awfully interested. It was in our way most of the time when we were trying to put the fire out, trying to get up in there, so I'm not exactly sure what he's got going on either. Copy that. Yeah, from our side of it, we're probably not going to come up with origin and cause, but if PD could make a case, we'll get into a follow-up, maybe swing down and take some pictures tomorrow. Yeah, I'm here. Copy that. We'll wait here for PD, and this individual is still remaining here, so we'll let PD interview him as well. Copy that. Let me know if you need anything else, Cap. Copy, thank you. 71 clear.
