at approximately 3:01 am:
C3, E2 and E3 were dispatched on a report of a smell of smoke
inside a residence. E2 arrived on scene
to find a 2 story home with no smoke or flames visible. The homeowner advised that there was a smell
of smoke and their smoke detectors were going off on the second floor. E2 investigated the residence using a thermal
imaging camera. E3 arrived on scene and
checked the exterior HVAC unit. After
further investigation it was determined that the HVAC unit supplying the second

have it repaired. With no further
