At 605 South Edgewater, there's two juveniles starting a fire across the lake, harvesting flames, lots of dry debris around there. Looks like it's going to be males and not really. Falcon, we're looking just east of our call. Is it across from the lake? Is it across the lake? I'll try for a better time. I don't think somebody worried you me. I'll start you for Edgewater. All right, if I have it, I'm not seeing an access to the lane, so I'm getting an east Singapore and a couple of BMX bikes. It's going to be... behind 622 South River Volta Circle. That's to be the closer address to where this is at. Okay. For Edgewater, white male, 10 to 12, red shirt, blue shirts, and a black or Hispanic male, same page, multicolored shirt. And I got two juveniles in like this little island cove. They're pretty young, probably a 10-year-old. White male, red shirt, black shorts, and another is a black male with a multicolored shirt, blue shorts. They have a fishing rod with them. They're getting on their bikes and they're riding away. 10, that's going to match the description RP gave. Okay, and again, I'm not seeing any active flames. You've got some heat signature. and looks like they put some water on it. But they're riding their bikes away like Northbound-ish. Happy.
