I'm happy to give you an ops channel if you need it. We have police on scene who requested a medic on an unrelated call on the fifth floor, and that medic is the one who said they had a strong smell of gas out of nowhere on the third floor. C3 copy. We'll keep an ops one and then use a simple X if needed on scene. Okay. This is 306 again. A side note for that call you set up for us. There is a very paranoid, possibly dangerous man living in 308 that we cannot transport due to a hold not being enforced, just so the crew who goes out knows that. And related to your medical or the your call that you're there now? Pops 1, we were there for that gentleman. However, the gas smell does not appear to be coming from his apartment. The officers were talking to him with the door open, and it did not appear to be coming from that gentleman's apartment. Copy. C3 copy, and our police saw unseen dispatch. Affirmative. C3 copy, thanks. 306, you want me to ask officers to wait on scene while I'm still down here? Like 306, yeah, I was going to send a message to their dispatcher, but if you're able to face-to-face with them, that would be great. Awesome, that's an affirmative 306. We will do that. Okay, thank you. 1306. I had a face-to-face with officers. They will wait here on the street for the investigation to arrive. Copy, thank you. Truck 13. Truck 13. You go ahead and add us to the call with C3 and 24 and clear Scott Squad 1. Truck 13, I'll put you on it. Squad 1. You can be clear.

Why don't we switch to Simplic? when you go interior and I'll monitor else one. Now over to Simplex 2, and we'll head up to the third floor and investigate. The pre-fire doesn't show any gas to this building, but it doesn't mean there isn't any. Cedar to copy. One, 915.05? 205. 205. 2035. Did we have law enforcement in a row? Negative. I can get them started. Confirm 55.
