Nothing showing. We'll be out investigating. We have a fire in front of us at Spire Court. If you could contact dispatch and ask them to have the call taker come outside.

Also inside the smoke or fire, there's a lockbox on the front door. The apartment is vacant at this time. Command received. Go ahead. No sign of smoke or fire inside the structure. We ran the carbon monoxide meter at the base of the door and also ran a meter just outside the door. I think we can call this a good intent and clear. All right, I copy. Good intent.
