Transcript:
Is that into one? We're using an additional call that says it's 12th and State for a transient sort of fire — that one, the encampment. I copy. That would be a separate fire. Is that one being described more as a hostile fire or is it for warmth? No, it looks like tents are on fire now. Do you repeat? Your last is unreliable. The one on 12th and State, there's a transient putting tents and random things into the fire. I'll switch you over to that one. Engine 1, respond to non-structure low-risk fire at 12th Street Northeast and State Street.
