Command from engine 6-1 officer.

What happens is the air compressor that charges the system loses pressure, so it causes the waterfall alarm.

Maintiff said a 20, 25 minute ETA,
04:57
and nobody's staying here.
05:01
Okay, so nobody's in that building?
05:08
What she advised?
05:12
If it's not occupied, then they don't feel firewatching, unless you just want to stay here.
05:25
Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to stay, especially since you know what the issue is, so they don't try to make some temporary fix unless to come back out here a few more times than that.
