Yesterday FFX ran a box at 10555 Main St. in Fairfax for "large amount
of 
smoke coming from the rear of the building."

"Engine 402 to Fairfax, put all units in service."  "I spoke with the
owner 
at the Everly Funeral Home;  it was smoke from the crematorium."  "He
said 
they just had a large production."
