A/C Fire

Just ran a fire call. Page sounded serious, from the number of units they were calling out (ambulance, our engines, an engine from one m.a. (mutual aid) company, a tanker from another, the tones went on for a while). Got to the station, got suited up, heard over the radio of "thick black smoke" coming from the dwelling.

Then we got there, and (apparently, I didn't see it) the A/C had burned out, and was not burning (or even smoking) when we got there. Command turned the call into an investigation; engine 2 and the tanker were recalled right away (didn't even see the tanker). I and the rest of the probies and juniors stayed out at the engines, then we returned.
