Engine 10s on scene, but he's been in it for a while.
02:25
Hopefully, you have to keep them there too longer once you arrive.
02:29
But, yeah, she had mentioned that she had contacted the maintenance guy and he's in route as well, and that he gets there in about 15 minutes.
02:36
But he supposedly was there.
02:37
Earlier week, he came a few times one day and messed with it, and obviously it's, he did, I don't think he's going to know how to fix the box.
02:47
You'll see, it's kind of a disaster, wires hanging out, and it eventually stopped alarming while we were there, but we don't even know why or how.
03:00
It wasn't anything that we did, and it might start up again, but it's definitely, you know, been vandalized and there's definitely serious with that that you might need to contact the alarm company to come and handle

The alarm company wasn't called.
03:31
This was called in by a civilian.
03:33
They were on Firewatch[1].
03:34
Romel was supposed to the person on Firewatch[1].
03:37
He was the contact guy, so he wasn't even supposed to leave at all.
03:40
The manager said that they had got the alarm fixed, but dispatch didn't get called by an alarm company.
03:46
She ended up, they got called by just a person that didn't leave a phone number.
03:53
That's how they got the alarm.
03:54
Army? Yeah, I'm sure all the occupants in the buildings are pretty sick of listening to the arm going off day and night for the last few days.
04:03
So I'm sure that it was one of them that called.
04:05
Whether or not the main guy is supposed to be on Firewatch[1], I wasn't made aware of that, but I'm sure that that would be his responsibility, and you'll have to impress that upon him yourself.
