Hazardous smell at near Arkansas Ave. Engine 7, truck 1. How does it smell? Can you add Squad 7 to that call with the engine? I'm pretty sure this may be related to the previous calls that we've had. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, except this caller says it is a very strong smell of plastic or rubber burning. I mentioned there's a tire shop nearby and that the smell is seeping into the house. I've told them to shut off any central units or air conditioning units that they might have. I'm not sure if you want to make contact with them there or not.
