The second was just an additional open line that sounded like it was coming from an elevator. We've not been able to reach anybody, no units available.

And that kind of a fire call being an elevator?
00:23
Our policy is we only sent fire if they're occupied.
00:27
But we're not able to confirm that or what are we looking at? We have the open line and nobody would respond to us so we don't believe it's occupied but we don't know that for sure.
00:38
I can add fire if you like.
00:40
It's fire if they can do it if we don't have anybody available if not just in case somebody passed out in it, send someone.
