-B7 units are investigating several commercial food stores to see if there is a leak at any of the stoves. We are in full contact with the life safety coordinator. We also have E34 checking 34st and 7ave

-B7 investigations at the 1,2,&3 subway lines are negative 21:22

-B7 investigated Kmart and appears the condition in there has dissipated

-B7 appears they were working on diesel trains on Tracks 20&21 and there was a diesel smell throughout the station. We will monitor and get back to you with a final signal 21:33

-B7 our operations have concluded. We conducted a thorough investigation and found no odor or condition. It appears they were using diesel equipment and there was a conflict with their fans. We are leaving Penn Station in charge of this and units are going 10-8. Make this a 10-31 and 10-80nc 21:38
