Command. Confirms.
00:04
Go ahead.

I'm thinking it could be something with the wind and maybe a rooftop unit possibly having a malfunction.
00:13
It sounds like they had some work done on some units up there that had been possibly leaking a while back.
00:20
So maybe if we could send somebody up to the roof,
00:23
check the rooftop units, see if they notice any leaks up there.
00:27
I'm just thinking what the wind could be pushing back into the store somehow through the exhaust or intakes.
00:39
Choice 600 copies.
00:42
Send some of the roof for inspection of those units.
00:45
The door you went in will call side A.
00:48
Do you have any location, approximate location, of what side they could head up to?
00:59
They can go on any side, honestly.
01:01
We're pretty much directly in the center of the store.
01:05
So that side A would be fine.
01:13
any command to ladder 40?
01:16
Go ahead.
01:21
If you guys want to light on the roof and head up there to inspect any of the units up there, see if there's any malfunction going on?
