They're having issues with the alarm again. Went this morning, everything was fine. They lifted alerting, no problem. We just come back. We're standing here now. They give the proper pass code to the alarm company, and the alarm company walked them through how to reset this alarm over the phone. And they're acknowledging that they have an issue. We're saying they need to go on tests, but they're kind of... not understanding that they need to do Firewatch if it goes on test. Just kind of needing some guide it there. Okay, what was the facility? Just remind me, you said I was out there last time? It's the, it's right there on State Road. It's the suite standby. You did it correct name. Okay, yeah, I'm aware of that facility. We had issues there. Yeah, just let them know. I'm not going to be able to get over there right now. I'm actually out of county, but let's, you know, they need to be on Firewatch, obviously, if the system is disabled in any way. And of course, they've been told multiple times that they cannot reset that system, and they've received the citation last time I was there. So if that's the case, I'll have one of my other deputies swing over there today, and they'll get another fine. but they need to do what they need to do. All right, we're going to have another conversation. Like I said, they're okay. We're doing Firewatch there today. But they're just not understanding that they have to do Firewatch at night because they're staying up to a week before this gets done. And it's just going to keep on going off if they keep it online. Okay, yeah, let them know that it doesn't matter. They're going to need to provide that firewatch, even if they've got to hire a private company, security company, to go through there at night. But it's required by fire code, and they need to comply.
