paging first alarm on an illegal burn in Garfield Township, 1730, Lyndon, across the rest of Carson Street. He is the next-door neighbor. He said that this address is a very high fire in what looked to be a burn barrel, approximately 8 feet tall, burning all kinds of fuel there. He's worried because that backyard has a bunch of fuel in it. He's worried that it may jump to his yard. Nothing else actively on fire, unknown if it's being tended at this time. That'll be for Metro Engine 1. Such clear, 11-33.
