That would give us access to the back corner of that building.

But still we'll probably only get us to the exterior.

Let us know if you want us to go through that one.

I'm trying to try for a second.

I'm actually going to need your car moves and effort.

Go ahead and we've pushed the door on the side and you can walk back through the building that's collapsing and the area where it's got the fire on top of the wall looks like it's just the vegetation and the remains of the roof up there.
02:14
There's absolutely no roof on this whole fact section.
02:21
Okay.
02:23
Is this just a wait for a med-ed and then put it out when we're done kind of thing from what you're seeing?
