The reason I'm contacting you is just because we have smoke inhalation and it ended up being a refusal, but I just didn't know what else you wanted us to do, anything in particular.

You just need to document them for a fire casualty and just know them as they refuse to care.

Make sure you get the first, last name and as much of the other info as you can, like address, data board phone number.
