Negative contact, called the property manager who was out of state. They gave us another contact number. We attempted that when I left a voicemail because it went to a voicemail. Yep, kind of what I thought was going to happen, but it's worth reaching out. I appreciate the work on that. We're in a good spot here. We've got the main body of fire knockdown, and we're working on ventilation. Crews are still working on a search to clear the building at this time. They report heavy smoke on third floor still, so we're trying to support them.
