BC28: It looks like we've found it, it's an under construction, 3 story, looks like class 2 perhaps, we have a little bit of smoke coming from the 3rd floor in the rear.  We're using 2 and 2, the building is a 20x40, 3 story, we'll get back to you with a size-up in a second.

BC28: Box 4375, we're going with the address 80-91A Cypress Ave, it appears to be a building under construction so it probably doesn't have an exact address on it yet.  We're going to use All-Hands at this time, no additional units.  We had a couple of mattresses burning in the rear of a 3 story 40x25 brick vacant,  1 line stretched, 1 in operation.  Primary search on the 2nd and 3rd floors is negative, trucks are opening up.  Exposure 1 is a street, 2 is a vacant lot, 3 is a rear yard, 4 is a vacant lot.  Using All-Hands, Probably Will Hold.

10:01 hours - Duration 22 minutes
BC28: 4375, all searches throughout complete and negative, place this fire Under control, k.
