                                            On Friday September 19th around 1943 hrs , while on standby for the Waterloo Fire Dept,  the Seneca County Communications Center dispatched us to the Gould Hotel for the smell of gas inside the building.   1461, 1464, 1465, Quint 1, Engine 1, Engine 3, and Squad 52 all responded at time of dispatch.  Upon arrival Quint 1 was assigned State Street side, Engine 1 was assigned the plug at the corner of Fall St and State St, Engine 3 was assigned a plug up on State St near the Post Office, and Squad 52 was assigned traffic control at Jefferson St and State St.  Assistant Chief Daily (1464) was assigned interior operations command , Assistant Chief Archer (1465) was assigned outside operations,  and District Chief Farnsworth (1461) had Incident Command.  Hotel staff  provided the command staff with a list of guests and rooms assigned.   There were 54 guests at time of Incident.  Crews entered the structure and went room by room ensuring everyone had exited the building.   Command requested an expedited response from Nyseg due to the size of the building and the gas within the building.  Once building was cleared all units stood by outside until Nysegs arrival.  1464 and the representative from Nyseg entered the building.  Once the problem was discovered the situation was mitigated.   Guests were allowed back into the building and units were clear by 2100 hrs.
