Engine 2, Truck 6 from Medict 10. This is going to be a homeless encampment. They said they're burning some debris. They got going pretty well. They said they're going to try to put it out. We're parked on Harriet. There is a gate there that it might be a little bit difficult to open. I'm not really sure how else we get back here. Truck 6 got it.
