To confirm the source of the smoke or why the water was, was it knocked off, or what caused the sprinkler system to activate?
02:25
I see it in Division 3.
02:27
When we showed up on the third floor,
02:31
there was no smoke, just water flowing.
02:36
And I can not figure out where the smoke is coming from.
02:40
We searched the unit around the hallway, the sprinkler is in the hallway.
02:46
So unless it was in the surface on the ceiling,
02:50
we can't locate any source.
02:57
I see copy, just confirming there's no signs of any fire.
