At 401 Pippinulators Road in Dania. They're working on a tactical channel. All units resume normal radio operations, 1831. Rescue arrival at Holy Cross. Rescue 5's arrival at Holy Cross, 1832. Engine 6 will be canceled. Copy, standby. Entering the structure. Firecom: relay all incoming rescues to command. At this point the area of concern has a slight haze; all patrons have been moved to a secure area. It does not look like the interior is affected. The last portion of the wing is being cleared. This may be a transformer or possible generator issue; see if relocation is needed even if smoke conditions aren't present. Engine 17, we have a fly by request from Engine 1. Understood. Check what they have in place to mitigate loss of power so we know if additional resources are needed. Be advised we have units in staging for medical. I advised them of the situation: a sister living facility is currently on generator power. The facility's generator is operational and working for them. They did not know a duration but estimated a minimum of six to eight hours. From our perspective no additional internal resources are needed; shelter-in-place is working and there is no heavy smoke.
