Minutes later units arrived to find no fire or smoke conditions from the exterior of the building. Wagontown Assistant Chief Patton was on location reporting a haze and odor of smoke in the Ballroom area and established Airport Road Command, Chief Grossman assumed operations.

Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to search for fire with negative results. It was believed the condition was traced back to a furnace malfunction. Firefighters used natural ventilation to clear the smoke from the building.
