- 0:16AssistantSorry to hear that, John. Before we go further — is there any gas smell, fire or smoke, a big water or fuel leak, or anyone hurt?
- 0:24CallerNo, nothing like that. No gas smell, no smoke, nobody's hurt. It's just locked out.
- 0:32AssistantGood. Is the number you're calling from, seven one four, five five five, one two three four, the best one to reach you?

- 1:20AssistantIs there another boiler running?
- 1:28CallerNumber two is running but it can't keep up with the full load, the line is slowing down.
- 1:36AssistantHas anyone tried anything so far?
- 1:44CallerThe operator hit reset once and the fault came right back.
