This was reported by our lieutenant, driving by, saw it visually from the outside of the building on the north exterior wall, described it as a fire alarm sprinkler light flashing.
02:31
We contacted our fire division to see if it was something related to our system.

They saw it too, but it was not theirs.

That's correct.

It appears that the single light and alarm seems to be separate from the entire rest of the system.
