Repeated Fire Alarm at 1911 California Street Apartment Complex

Summary: Fire crews responded to a recurring fire alarm at a two-story apartment complex located at 1911 California Street in Mountain View, California. Upon arrival, Engine 51 found no visible signs of fire, but the alarm was sounding. This was the third response to the same location, and previous attempts to contact the reporting party had been made. The alarm system was determined to be malfunctioning, and the fire department requested that the responsible party be notified to have a technician address the issue. Engine 53 later made contact with the alarm company and the vice principal, Julie Thompson, leaving the building in her care. The alarm could not be fully silenced or reset, but there was no emergency present.
