Transcript:
(name withheld) was in the lobby. For the Opschairs Station, claiming lady, she said, this is what she said. She said somebody burnt their food in the oven and I looked inside of it and it looks like the steel part of the oven is toasted. I don't know if it was her or not, but she said she spoke with the fire department and smoke was coming from the kitchen. They have the door propped open. And that's what caused the building fire alarm. Copy, and is that a piece of equipment I'm plugged down by now? Yeah, there's no lingering mode or anything. I don't, I looked at the trash to see if I could find any food that was burnt, but I don't see anything. The lady disconnected it and she has a door prop to air it out. There's a little bit of a smoky smell, but there's no visible smoke or anything, so that was definitely the culprit. Okay, and is that in the 2010 building or the new maintenance of the structure building? Yeah, the same building. I'm only in the Ops building, and I told you I was in the Ops. Lobby, which is the Red Building. I'm not lobby in the kitchen. Okay, so all the way on the back of the building, it's got an exit door there. Yeah, that's exactly aware. And I'm assuming as soon as the fire department looked to her, they left immediately when they realized it was just because somebody burnt popcorn or, I don't know what they burned, some kind of food. Okay, can you put a sticky note? Make sure it's unplugged. Put a sticky note on that. But do not use had a fire, something to that effect, please. Yeah. 845, this guy's unconscious. You can send that a plan.
