Let's share patrol some blank floor. Yeah, yeah. Cock, are you on? Same, (name withheld). It's back with the information for outside units. We are triaging a fire call right now over at Charlie 16 on the ramp. Apparently inside one of the checks bags there was a portable charger, and that charger caused the bag to catch fire. But the fire was extinguished, and it's now outside of the aircraft, so there's no aircraft emergency. So just information only for those I get it, 137. Tennessee were 11, 1081. 1081. 137. Engine 80. 35. Cold fire. Charlie. 16 RAM. One concourse, Charlie. Priority 5. Both fire, Charlie, 16 ram, one concourse Charlie, timeout, 0137.
