Sentry from the side. Okay, (name withheld), go ahead. On the scene of a three-story, multi-residential. I got nothing showing from two sides. I donate to be out investigating operating L-crop fields fireguarding. Personally, (name withheld), on the scene, three-story multi-family that they're showing two sides. Here, command, L-Crow fire, fire. Incoming companies are 439. I got an audible alarm. Quinn 8, please go to the back. Italian 2 is on the scene. Italian 2 from Engine 8. We're knocking on doors. I got a bell inside. The Quintz here, get him to the back, trying to go for a reset. All right, sounds good. No smoke or reason for activation. No smoke in the hall and the stairwell that I'm in. Well, we haven't checked any units. Nobody's up. We're safe. Engine 8 from Quinnate. Go up for the engine. In the rear of 439, always clear. Utility rooms are clear. Try for a reset, please. I think we got a reactivation. I'm like this is a really old panel here. We're trying to reset it. It keeps on going back in the fire, but it's just a local alarm here at the panel. Jack's still got no heat or smoke inside this. Ah, stairwell. It's quite different time, too. It doesn't give a unit number or floor or anything like that on the panel doesn't. Negative. I still got nobody coming outside either. Gene 8 from 28. Go through the engine. I'm walking around back. Looks like the smoke detector on the third floor here in the rear hallway. Deactivated detector, and again, there's no problem in this there well. Is it lit red? Yep. All right, I let Central know to get a hold of the property wreck, let them know they get a bad hall detector in the third floor. That's in the rear stairwell, correct? Yep, rear stairwell. All right, received. Can we silence the alarm at least or is it not even audible?
