That key that you gave us is not the right key.
00:13
That doesn't work?
00:15
No,
00:18
it's not an actual key, it's like an owen key kind of thing.
00:26
This is fast from Gorse in command.
00:30
Okay.
00:35
Okay. Building maintenance is now on scene.
00:38
They've been made aware of what the problem is.
00:41
And they're going to put the alarm system in bypass.
00:48
basically take the effected pulsation out of the loop so it doesn't keep tripping.
00:54
But that's going to take a little while because they have anybody here who's going to be able to get in and do that.
01:02
Command terminating.
01:04
And just six available.
01:21
Is the long snow going off over there or do you sign?
01:29
Just back from Magnolia, commandant.

Comment.
01:38
Do you have a number for a key holder or anybody for this building?
01:51
I have a number for the supermarket,
01:55
a key holder for that. Do you want me to notify?
02:01
Now we're here now.
02:03
I was just wondering if there's one for the apartment building next door to it.
02:13
Come in the answer.
02:17
Full think it has been reseted.
02:19
I'd like for reset.
02:20
All right. Stand by.
02:26
All right,
02:28
look around over there, see if there's another alarm panel over here. This is the only one I have over here. It was going off when I came in, but now this side is...
02:39
Okay, see, let's take a look.
02:46
Command, officer.
02:49
Community, answer.
02:51
Cap, I don't see any other alarm panel in here.
02:59
Two-size-wrown, I know. You come in.
03:05
Come there.
03:10
All right, we searched the building, we found the pole station, no close for alarm, we're unable to reset the alarm, we can't find the alarm panel for the apartment complex that the alarm's going off on. The only alarm panel we have is for the supermarket.
03:26
That's been reset.
03:30
We advise the occupants that they're going to have to try to reach out to a manager or whoever they make their payments to and see if they could come out and reset the alarm.
03:38
You could terminate command.
