Is this girl? Yes, ma'am. I didn't have your number. Okay. On that 855 or 8255, their pump was burning up and we have to shut it down. 2855 University. Copy, I'm on my way. I'll be there in a minute. Hi. What type of pump is it? Hey, you can come on the south side of the building. We have a gate open for you. It's the fire pump. It looks like maybe the jockey pump is burning up. It has pressures on all the gauges, but it's smoking and it would shut down now because it was overheating. So with the jockey pump, not the fire pump. All right, 20,000, back on. Better. Better. Talking being around north for out of 9.40. Leaking. So before we got here, maintenance said that the water pressure dropped and he saw some drains leaking and then it kicked on. So maybe a seal broke and water started flowing and that's why it kicked on. Rescue 5 arrived on Memorial. No 41. I'm not sure. But either way it shut down because it was smoky.
