Battalion 7 to Manhattan. Battalion 7. Battalion 7, box 679, be advised, the building has been evacuated, approximately 80 people. Put a hold with the units on scene, still searching for the source, and we do have one precautionary line stretched at this time. 10-4, Battalion 7, so I can turn around safety and Hazmat 1.

Does anybody know the outcome of this?

I get it precautions of precautions, but I don’t recall any evacuations for a Freon leak. I do HVAC for a living. It has to be something else was speaking.

Are you serious evacuating because of refrigerant is leaking that’s a joke and besides Freon doesn’t have a very strong odor
