IC from fire TAC. Go ahead. Tied in with your firefighters. There's no obvious signs of what might have caused this. We're suspecting it may have been a dryer belt. There's an odor of smoke, nothing reading on the TIC. We're continuing to investigate. We can handle with ourselves and your engine.

So impressed by the San Diego first responders. I’m pretty close to the incident location, and the moment I received the Citizen notification, I heard multiple sirens outside. Hoping everyone is safe.
