Battalion 3 to Main. This CO is being exhausted through exterior windows and into the parking garage area, and we're monitoring the lobby and stairwells to ensure that we don't have any COs spread throughout the building. Message received, Battalion 3.

Battalion 2 to Main. We found their source here at 1350 North Lakeshore Drive. Our hot water heaters in this building are our source. We had very high readings in that room, over 400 parts per million. Once we opened that room, they've dropped. They're close to 100 parts per million. I'm not going to do a level 1 on this because the levels are dropping already.
