All right, clearing NOPS 3 for a report of a commercial fire at 709.09. This information, Vox 1703 is being tapped out on NOPS 3. It's a report of flames from the roof of a building attached to the water tower behind the Denny's at 119-50-north-center Avenue, 7-09. There's flames coming from the roof? From the water tower, this is for engine 17, truck 8, engine 14, Vancouver 1, 2, and Vancouver Truck 1, and Vancouver Truck 1, C2 and C1, you'll be on opt 3, standby for additional. This will be a repeat of the Delta Lovistructure Fire for the behind the Denny's at Jansom Beach, 119-55 North Centerway, sorry, Croxon Center Avenue, and after further triage is going to be a 69 Delta 8. So C1, you can return. We're going to keep C2 engine 14, engine 17, and truck 8. This match from C2. Go ahead, C2. Copy that readback, but on the initial notes you're saying flames from the roof? Yeah, the initial update that made this a box to begin with was that another caller saw the building attached to the water tower that had flames from the roof. It looks like an abandoned building. 17 copies the update. And C2Copi, so it's an abandoned building that somebody's saying that has flames from the roof, correct? Correct, and then somebody else is saying it looks like it's some sort of transient camp that maybe set the structure on fire is directly behind the Denny's, that water tower, and then there's a small building next to it to the east of that attached to water tower. C2 copy. Engine 17, are you familiar with what we're looking at? That's affirmative. There's a small abandoned building by the water tower directly behind any. We'll be on seeing here in a second. We do have a small header coming from that area. We'll give you an update here in a minute. Okay, thanks, Sam. Information for those responding, most of the callers have been from the freeway, so just seeing from a distance. but one caller who actually saw the water tower, so no other confirmation exactly if it is the building room. It is the abandoned building back behind the water tower. It does look like the structure is involved. We're going to get some water on it here and see how intensive it is. I think the delta level assignment is appropriate. behind the water towers looks like the structure involves getting water on it and delta level responses appropriate at 714.
