Fire dispatch engine 533, can you check with the alarm companies, see if they soak and are responsible?
00:08
Responsible is pending at the time of dispatch.
00:10
We'll attempt.
00:13
Copy, thank you.

What's your latest update is? I'm up here on the roof at the affected HVAC unit with the worker who had direct eyes on it, who opened up the panels, which let out some smoke,

but no act prior.
00:35
We've ticked it.
00:37
It's cold. It seems like just the appliance...
00:41
malfunction, maybe something electrical.
00:44
Truck 35 is coming down to ventilate the interior.
00:49
There's no active fire and no further smoke production up here.
00:54
So I guess just checking for ventilation or extension is the last thing to do, which I'm sure is already underway and then we could probably just shut this thing down.

Copy that, thank you for the info, and are able to isolate the electrical to that unit or shut it down. I assume the workers are going to continue working on it, but if we can just make sure that's done before we leave, go with that.

Power has been shut off to the unit.
