Offs from squad seven. Squat seven, go ahead. There's a light smell of gas in the area, but we've been unable to isolate anything. We're still investigating. Are you able to contact the gas company and see if they're doing work in this area? Yeah, I can do that. I'll get back with you. Give me just one minute on it. And if you can let them know, that smell extends from Waco all the way to 21st and Coolidge. Quad 7 from Engine 7. Cross 7 and go. Engine just got dispatched to get gas out around 21st in Cooley, (name withheld). I'm sure it's the same order you are. It might be coming from those businesses around 21st and Broadway. We've had that happen before. Do you want us to respond and help you out? No, that's kind of what we were thinking. We could smell it when we pulled out of the station. We're going to cruise down 21st and Broadway over here. I think that that's probably where it's coming from. Well, we'll stay in quarters in. Yeah, I think we're good. We'll call you if you need it. Four. Bob's from Inton 7. This is going to be the same call that Quad 7's on. You can show us available in quarters. 10-4. Yeah, I was just telling the resource dispatcher about that. Squad 7 have advised. In Squad 7, you said you're heading over there right now, 21st in... Was that Ammonin? Yeah, we're in the area now. Stand 4. We're at the station, which is basically 21st Am, and we have the odor out here. I think it's probably pretty widespread in the area if you get any other calls. Squad 7 is out investigating.
