Truck 36 from Truck 36 Driver. Go ahead. Yeah, we found a light ballast that was buzzing. The maintenance man shut it off, so the buzzing has stopped. Steven, I think we've got him on the roof with us now, so we're going to show him the cause of all this, and then we'll head down.

Hey, Truck 36, driver of this Truck 36. Go ahead. Hey, since it's a bunch of kids and we're heading towards letting them back in, let's run a monitor through those rooms with the strong smell in that hallway. Just make sure nothing bad's inside. Received, we'll take care of that. We are trying to find the buzzing. We're checking out some light ballast in the room, and we have the maintenance gentleman here with us who's helping us figure it out. Excellent. If you could let him know, it's the large air handler almost directly...

Hey, this is Truck 36. We're up on the roof. We found an air handler with some heated up elements. Think this is probably the cause of the odor. It's pretty strong up here on the roof. No fire, no ongoing issue. We're probably going to shut off this air handler and then let maintenance come deal with it. Received. Do you want me to reset the panel and let the kids back in? If you have the principal or the lady that was helping us down there, maybe just let her know.
