Hunter Fire, Medic 41 available? Medic 41 available. I see, Captain Flan. Go ahead, the Diamond, IC. Founded a large air handler in the attic space in between first and second. Belt is slipping a little bit, but no smoke that we can tell. Motors still fine. Copy. Do you have that odor up there near that belt or no? Negative. There is some sand and other debris inside the air handler that could be being blown out the vents, but I don't think it's anything really doors. Copy. Yeah, have crews going around the exterior and on the roof as well. It seems to be dissipating in that front room. No breakers have been tripped either. I'm an IC, Captain's Engine 6. Go ahead. Okay, we didn't see any swamp cooler or anything on the exterior. There is a rock climbing gym and a CrossFit business that still have people in, but there's no smoke in those businesses. Copy saying.
