The single caller called back and said black smoke from the roof, but now I'm saying that it stopped.

Okay. If the latter is back in service, we're good.
00:12
We'll just let it stand.
00:15

Okay.

Send Squad 236 out there, not emergency, at least you can figure out what happened.

Finally 236 is doing a lap to the maintenance building.
01:06
We've seen smoke coming from there before in the past,

Just walk from ladder.
01:20
You're a letter.

They're advising whenever the boiler swaps from natural gas with diesel, it produces a lot of black smoke.
01:31
We believe that's what's called it.
01:35
Cockin it. Boilers swap it over from them.
01:38
Natural to diesel.

And for the caller, the caller just advised that the black smoke just stopped.

So you guys are probably correct.
02:07
Yeah, the latter thinks they've got it isolated, so we're in service.
02:12
