If we had a keyholder respond, would you guys be able to just shut the alarm off?
00:08
Yeah, 10-4[1].
00:09
Do you have an ETA?
00:14
6-4, Steph.
00:20
We're still working on that.
00:22
She said nobody lives locally.
00:24
That'd be something we can just take Ed back out for us.
00:26
You're not sitting there.
00:29
Yeah, that'd be great if you just want to tone us back out when they have someone close.
00:33
We're unable to locate where the alarm panel is actually located.
00:37
We only have access to the Tall Pines shopping complex, the store.
00:44
So if we have anyone from the bank or from the old movie studio, respond over, we may be able to access the panel in one of those other storefronts.
00:55
I'm going to do is one and we'll just teach you guys back up.
01:02
Right, thank you, everyone.
01:13
We're inside all three of the shopping complex.
01:16
There's no signs of any smoke or fire,
01:18
but there is an audible alarm that's heard from the outside.
01:21
There's a good chance we're going to get some additional calls on that.
01:24
Just feel free to tone us back out if we get an RP, they're able to show up.

Can I give you guys that and see if that work for you to get in there?
02:25
Go ahead.
02:31
That door code is for the Tall Pines shopping storefront.
02:35
We do have access and we're able to walk through that building.
02:38
However, the line panel is not located in that storefront.
02:45
Not going to be a door code for the front door?
02:52
Essentially it was, it was the door code for the main door into the tarpines.
02:56
However, there's another front door for the bank and then another one for the old movie studio.
03:01
We do not have access for either of those two,
03:04
and those are key to entries and not the number code.
03:12
We have an individual here with the bank.
03:14
Could you call fire back and see if they can respond to this alarm, this fire alarm so that they can maybe get it turned off?
03:26
From Agent 31.
03:32
It sounds like our crews responded out there the other day to that same address.
03:36
They made contact to the contractor who says they were working on the alarm system and that it was not yet completed and that they were going to try to leave it in test mode.
03:46
And I'm not sure if the alarm company has the ability to silence and put it in a test on their end, but it's probably going to be our best step.
