Near Orienta Avenue signal 49 Bravo.
00:15
An occupant let us in through her sliding glass door.
00:18
We're on the first floor below where we believe the alarm was, but it has stopped making noise.
00:29
Probably that did that document confirm there was an alarm going on.
00:36
She said she heard it, but it was not her.
00:38
I believe it's the apartment right above her.
00:43
Copy that, are you in 140?
00:50
Copy that, we came out of 140.
00:55
Copy, we're up at 240 now, let's see if we can pinpoint it.
01:06
Is the sound like the sound has stopped completely? The sound is like it stopped,
01:13
sir,
01:19
But we are on the first floor now in the hallway, so you can't hear much.
01:32
We're right above it at 240 and there's no noise here.
01:37
This is going to be difficult without being able to get contact with everybody from the exterior.
01:47
7.34 has the noise stopped?
01:54
Yeah, we don't hear it at all anymore,
01:57

02:16
Engine 37, Quint 34.
02:17
As soon as we come outside, I can still hear it.
02:20
I have no idea where it's coming from.
02:25
We'll head to the third floor, see if we can hear it there.
02:32
This is the only place we can hear it.
02:35
If we're inside, we can't hear it.
02:37
If we go further,
02:38
either direction, we can't hear it.
02:40
We can't hear it.
02:42
Okay.
02:45
Okay.
02:50
J 33 is off the same to be up to the whole owner.
02:53
We'll be out investigating.
02:54
Engine 33, I'm seeing to investigate.
02:58
234.37. This alarm is coming out of 340.
03:02
There's actually a fire extinguisher outside on the porch.
03:05
I'm not sure if that's related, but there's also a couple of papers in the door, so I'm sure the apartment's vacant.
03:16
D.11 with patient.
03:20
Press D.11 with patient.
03:23
Tendon 17 with patient.

03:40
That's permit, no luck.
03:41
No luck.
03:46
It's 14 on C.
03:47
We've got a power line on a tree.
03:51
I did 14 on C power line for being on a tree.
03:58
There's some engine 3-4.
04:00
No future signs of anything?
04:04
Just the alarm.
04:06
It's going to sound like a smoke detector that's going off.
04:10
It's affirmative.
04:11
It's just the smoke detectors.
04:13
I assume it's ones that are hooked together.
04:21
Do you see any conditions that warrant forcing entry?
04:30
It's just that alarm going off.
04:32
I don't, outside the other residents, I don't think there's any harm and maintenance.
04:40
It is impossible to get a hold of in this location.
04:45
Yeah, I copy that.
04:46
And we got no alarms that came in from the alarm company.
04:54
There's 7 to Edge 37, you guys can return.
04:58
This is 37 copy.
05:15
And 2.34, I'm going to leave it with you.
05:17
At this point,
05:19
you don't have justification to force the door as far as the nuisance of the noise.
05:24
Residents are going to have to deal with it until maintenance can fix it.
05:29
You have your fire inspectors follow-up tomorrow.
