It's not a fire.
06:28
It's not a bona fide fire.
06:30
It's actually just dust.

They're fixing the ropes here and they're throwing all the debris and all that stuff down.
06:40
So that's what's caused.
06:41
That's what caused.
06:46
All right, so that fire is not a bona fide fire.
06:49
It looks like they're just doing repairs to the roof on 18th and Carpenter.

It's not a bonafide fire.
