Happy Engine is on scene. N3, Engine 4, can you have those guys block-eyed off on that end so no more traffic comes through here? Yeah, we're doing it right now. Command, Med4. Go ahead, Med4. Med4 is West Washington Broome. Copy that. Engine 1, meet up with M. Gene. Give me a little update here if you can. And you want to copy that command. Get you an update. Attention, Dear Grove, Medic, Navy in the village, your field, 221 morningside drive cross of Simon Street and Pine Street for an alpha-level person. Channel Simon's going to be eight hours from a base. Smoke has died here, not coming out of that, the manhole that we had the biggest problem. Anything change over there?

Affirm with Covey. ComCenter Engine 9 is on scene at Henry and Mifflin. Copy, Engine 9. Command Engine 4. Go ahead, Engine 4. Copy that. MG is reporting that it's low voltage, and the smoke is coming from probably wiring near that area.
