Central, the alarm that the RP called about on this call is actually on SDG&E's substation property, which we're not going to enter.

00:09

That's going to be located right next to (number withheld) Mesa Road, just east of it.

00:14

It's an outbuilding to the west of the main battery storage units.

00:20

It's just an auto.

00:21

Visual alarm and nothing showing, so they're going to probably have to come out and investigate it.

00:26

Copy.

00:29

Initially, you're probably going to get multiple calls from the RP's around here saying the noise, but there's nothing we can do about it.

00:33

You're just going to have to listen to it until they can come out and turn it off.

00:37

Copy in. Per the call taker, the RP said that the alarm was sounding in her apartment as well as in (number withheld).

00:44

I have you on there.

00:46

I'm working on it as well, but there was an additional building on the other side of the property that she was mainly calling about.

00:51

We're trying to, these buildings don't have individual alarms, so it's probably just a smoke detector, but we're looking at it now.
