Battalion 11, Engine 77. First floor is clear, truck is checking second floor. Copy. Just to confirm, do you have an odor of gas in there? And have you been able to locate any appliances or anything that uses gas? Negative odor of gas. It's totally different odor. Possibly some type of chemical. I have not seen any appliances that uses gas on the first.

Engine 77 Captain, Engine 77 Engineer. Go ahead. So I found the gas to the building. However, it's just a valve, and then the piping goes into the mechanical room. I can't, I cannot access the mechanical room. I already opened up the box with no access, and there's no meter on the outside. Copy that.
