Fire in the fire blaze is out, though.

Are you going to handle alone or you can get anybody else?

There's still smoke coming from the stack, though.

I don't know why the whole building would be tripped, too.

Clear units on both sides of the stack.

But again, I don't know why the whole building trips.

It seems to be common. Do you think there's anything stuck up in the stack or is it so messing up?

We're going to check the management room now, and if it's clear, we should be able to get effect.

But chief confirms we got a strong haze in the boiler room down here, so that's what it was.
