Just heard a tone for Conroe FD to assist Tomball FD with a commercial fire. Heritage nursing home on tomball parkway. Anyone else monitoring this?

UPDATE: More units are being dispatched from Conroe including a ladder and multiple engines. Cy Fair and other surrounding depts are also sending units. Listening to radio traffic they are moving the residents from certain parts of the complex to others. I have not heard confirmation of flame in the building but they are starting to plan evacuations of the residents to other locations.

UPDATE: investigative team has been unable to determine cause or source of smoke. Command has decided that currently no evacuations from the property will take place, the residents have been moved to safe locations on the complex. The evacuation "task force" has been setup but is standing by off site until advised by IC. The task force has notified local hospitals and ems agencies are standing by in case of the evacuation decision.

sounds like they are cleaning up now. Source of smoke has not been located but electric fans are setup and they are releasing units back to their districts slowly as the smoke is clearing. the evacuation task force has been disbanded, EMS units are being released slowly back to their stations as well.

command is having everyone pack up and releasing them as they finish. EMS units and police have been released as well. The ending was way better then i thought it was going to be listening to all those tones drop.
