So engine 62 was initially dispatched on a far alarm activation. It was a pulsation with natural gas. We found that a wing in the Alpha Charlie, sorry, Alpha Delta corner of the school is charged with smoke. Northwest Natural has been able to look through the windows with a meter to detect gas, but they can't quantify how much is in there.

Agent 6-2 was able to get LEL readings of 30-30 and seal readings of 6-2 with auction levels of 18.5 just inside the front doors of the school.
