I just want to make you aware we had a sprinkler head activation here at the pit restaurant downtown.
00:06
It was not the ansel that is currently going off, although that is what the manager told me.
00:11
But the ansel has not been deployed.
00:16
Exactly. When I got that there, I realized I have a smokehead,
00:19
excuse me, a sprinkler head that's been activated over top of their food prep area and everything.
00:24
I have not got the word from the gentleman just he's making contact with his supervisors exactly what happened.
00:32
But I know there's a restaurant and they're going to have to shut down and so I'm just making my notification to you.
00:40
Yeah, Roger, I'll do a referral to the Health Department for you.
00:46
Okay, and as far as them, do I just need to say they need to shut down tonight or do I need to contact my fire marshal?
00:53
Could you advise them what I need to do on my end?
00:59
Yeah, if you guys can get the sprinkler isolated for them. And then since it's in, you did say it was in the kitchen or the prep area.
01:11
Yes, sir, that is correct.
01:14
Yeah, Roger, they're done for tonight.
01:17
Like I said,
01:19
I'll do the on-call notification for the health department.
01:22
They'll have to get hold of their vendor and have them come in and fix that sprinkler system. And then you need to do a referral to your all's OFM so one of the DFMs can come out and make sure the system is back in service and everything's up the way it should be.
01:42
Copy that. I know my, I've contacted my battalion, Chief. He's making the notification to the home call, but yes, sir, okay. I'll follow up with our OSM on the computer system when I get back to the station.

I help them shut down the system here and tell them that they're done for tonight. I appreciate your help, sir.

Hey, no worries. Hey, if you could, if you could get me the on-duty manager's name and phone number, that would be helpful for me.
