Clark on engine 65. Engine 65. Can you confirm the address forming? Affirm 11275, Southwest Edgewood Street. The alarm company got this from GPS, and this is the same address they have on file for the patient. Okay, we made contact with the homeowner at 11275, and they do not have a pendant. He said that the neighbor fits the description of the subscriber, but that address is 11295, and there is no lockbox as described. So we're just wondering if there's a callback number or if you've made contact. Yeah, I can call the alarm company back to double check. We attempted the call to the patient directly and got no answer. Six-five copies. Direct contact with the alarm company, but I checked the tax box info and the name matches at 12095. Engine 65 copies. We're trying to make contact right now. Copy that 411. Firegun engine 615. Go ahead. We did just make contact with the homeowner at 12095. It was an accidental pendant activation. I'll update the call location. Thank you.
