I'm told there was some light smoke in the pharmacy area.

That's not my call, but do you know some of the state we need to contact? I look at that.

00:23

Who at the state contact? Is that what you're looking for?

00:31

I don't know if anybody in your agency, but whoever helps to regulate the pharmacies may want to come over and talk to them

They could just smell the smoke in the pharmacy.
