Sounds like most units being returned to service (cleared from the call)....nuthin' to it.
But if you are in area you will probably see couple units on scene for few more mins.

A big release or refrigerant from a chiller in an enclosed room can knock out or kill people, thats why they dispatch what they do. They have refrigeration monitors tied into the life safety system, and usually emergency exhaust.


It could have be a rupture disc that fired off one of the chillers. also the sensors on the refrig monitor system, if they are cheap, can get false readings.

^This FTW. Elwood is spot on. You breathe enough Freon in and it could lead to asphyxiation.

Most of the responding units were cancelled early on but better to have a full emergency response and
not need it then to have one FD brush truck show up to a ConAgra Garner situation.
