Hey,
03:19
we made around the lap around this building.
03:21
I don't know if you'll have an RP listed or not.
03:27
But there's been damage done to one of the AC units and it's basically leaking all the Freon out of it right now.
03:35
Nothing we can do to capture it, but that might have been the smoke they saw. But whoever's the RP might want to ride out here or have to be taken care of.
03:47
Okay, can you advise the location because we just had an intersection?
03:53
It's going to be the Wells Fargo,

04:20
Near Westmorehead.
04:22
So if I can find an old RP for that, what would you like we know about them specifically?
04:27
Just left them though they've had damage to an AC unit, it's currently leaking Freon, and that's what the,
04:34
it's just whenever the temperature is changing, they're seeing a light smoke to make some things on fire, that's why they're calling.
04:40
But they're just property damage probably only if they're interested in it.
