It's kind of one on Alpha 4 for engine 40. Hey (name withheld). I'm going to get your opinion on this business where this dumpster is. It's like one of those drop dumpsters for when they discard stuff. I guess they're doing some construction inside and replaced a lot of metal lights and had cardboard and stuff on here. And I think the sun is beating down on this metal. and just caught this cardboard on fire. Are you good with that? 104. (name withheld), if you're comfortable with that, I'm comfortable with that unless you feel like there's something malicious going on, but it sounds like you're in the right area for the call. Yeah, I think the sun was just beating down pretty hard on this metal and caused it to heat up and catch this cardboard on fire. So just one of the first base real quick, but I'm good with that if you are.
