Ladder 6, Engine 18. Go ahead. When you guys turned off the HVAC, did you smell any burnt rubber or did it seem like it was malfunctioning at all? 2-4, see some kind of dissemination from the, uh, from the, uh, from the, uh, vent over here on the second floor. Yes, we've located the malfunctioning HVAC unit. It smells and has some smoke. Copy that? Copy that.

Command, this is Engine 18. Go ahead, for command. It looks like the smoke is starting to dissipate. If anything, we're good with just Truck 6 and Engine 18 for now. Command copies. Break, open 3. You can cancel assignment, hold Engine 18, Truck 6. Assignment at 1900 Fruva Avenue has been canceled, holding Engine 18 and Truck 6. All the units, return to service and open 11.

Command, this is Engine 18. We know that most of the smoke is coming. It was probably coming from the vent. If Truck 6 can go up to the roof and check the HVAC. Command, copy, it's great. Ladder 62, catch us on traffic. Yeah, copy, we've had this before here.
