Signs reason off too. Hey (name withheld), I got an unknown fire that started out as an unknown police problem at 105, North Carolina 54 Highway West at Hyper Kids. Another caller is advising that it sounds like kids are playing on the phone. One kid saying there's a fire, the other one saying that there's not. Ladder 12 is across the street. It's requesting a lot of units. What would you advise me to do? Just sign engine 18 in ladder 12. Copy. It sounds like PD just a gut. I just got there and said that fire could clear. I'll clear the call out.
