Command, priority traffic, priority traffic, priority traffic. Edward, command. Yeah, command, Engine 2, priority traffic. We've had a bit of a collapse over on the backside of this, and several of these support structures are significantly compromised. Just make sure everybody knows not to get too close. I copy.3, give me one second.

Engine 5, it's command. 10-4, 5. Yeah, Engine 15 and Engine 3 are both good on water currently at the stand. Fire's getting knocked. That engine that's sitting down at the original hydrant, I'm going to let you determine if you want them to try pumping it into that full air or not. I think we're getting pretty good.

Is tearing up our community. our city. We need to take back our city of Oakland, especially West Oakland. They all care about East Oakland and the regular Oakland, but they don’t care about West Oakland. The city gotta do something about it. The mayor gotta do something about it

They’re not burning no evidence. It’s a homeless encampment over there with the RVs and the tents. Somebody set a fire. That’s what they always do right next to the BART station, West Oakland BART, and you think the city of Oakland care? They don’t care. They could care less about the burning encampment over there
