What it is is that this is an alarm that they have audible exterior florence activated.

Unfortunately,

to no avail at this point in time, we'll probably be receiving more drive-by callers on this later on in the evening, just to be heads up.

We'll probably call this a reoccurring alarm and only sent us in one unit, but...
02:34
unless there's additional information such as active fire or another device activated other other than the smoke detector at the top of the elevator shaft.
02:50
Battalion, your traffic cut off after smoke alarm on top of the radio, or on top of the elevator shaft.
02:59
Pretty much it.
03:01
So we,
03:04
you go ahead and dispatch us to the call.
03:07
We'll probably do single unit, possibly even cancel off either being a nuisance alarm or a reoccurring alarm.
03:12
The only caveat is if we get additional information like visible fire, visible smoke, then we'll upgrade to a structure fire if you did.
03:21
Copy, if we get additional alarms,
03:25
if it's the smoke detector, we'll just do a single engine response.
03:30
That's simple.
03:33
Copy, I'll let our assignment dispatcher now, (number withheld).
