Monday, September
15 at approximately 12:49 pm:
All BFR units and FFD Station 3 units were dispatched on a
report of a commercial structure fire in district 3. Initial dispatch information indicated an
electrical burning smell was present throughout the structure. FFD units arrived on scene first to find a
single story commercial structure with nothing showing. BFR E3 arrived on scene and teamed up with
FFD personnel to investigate the interior of the structure. Command cancelled all other responding
units. The interior and all void spaced
of the structure were checked for any evidence of fire. The smell was determined to have come from
the HVAC unit that appeared to have malfunctioned. The property manager was advised to have the
unit inspected before using it again.
With no further hazards occupants were allowed back inside the structure
and all FD units cleared the scene.
