ALT, can you take your crew, go to the rooftop from talk of them?
00:32
They did not pull off the covers for the motor side to inspect the belts.

On purpose.

01:37
I'm not sure if you had told these guys come up here, but we do have three other representatives up here.
01:41
They're going to take a look at, but you can't just make sure there's nothing happened on it.
01:46
Yeah, I got my ladder crew coming up there.
01:48
I want to make sure we open up the area where the belts and the motors are.
01:52
The facility guide here said it was just open up on the culture side.
01:56
So I want to make sure we open up all that to inspect it, especially if we can isolate anything if we want to call the alpha side of the side facing your station.
02:06
That's where the bulk of the smoke was.
02:08
So I definitely want to check those two units out.
02:10
It appears something in the system, pulled it up and returned, and dissipated throughout there.
02:15
We just need to verify and isolate the calls for electrical hazards.
02:21
Receive, stand by one second.

Command of seven.

Engine's up, go ahead.
02:33
All right, just do a pace to pace with ladder five.

We're making the way to the rooftop now.
02:37
We're going to put those units and double-check those belts.
02:42
Copy that, Chief.
02:43
Thank you.

One request, engine 35, Charlie, 2.

We have the culprit.

We got a burnt motor up here.

It's still kind of very hot, but it is cooling down right now.

Okay, when you get a chance, can you have my latter crew take a set eyes on there? And do you have a particular rooftop unit that's labeled up there?

03:52
The contractor is isolated.

We've got the power shut off to the unit on the roof with confidence isolated to this one unit.
04:02
I think everything's taken care of our discussion with Northwest about their red tag policy for the actual unit.
04:10
All right, copy that.
04:11
You found the source, you've isolated it, Northwest is going to handle the red tag.
