Waltham Fire Command, Bacon Street, Command.

So we made contact with one of the key holders we have on file.
00:15
He's about a half hour away,
00:17
said he can come down if it's absolutely necessary, but he's a little confused because he does not have a fire alarm system there, so he's not sure how we got a central station alarm.
00:34
Do you need him to respond? Stand by one moment.
00:46
C2 to Walpair. Can we confirm what central station is that it's at this address in Waltham?
00:52
4-51 is clear.
00:56
We can call them back.
00:57
We received an additional call from them with information about the panic alarm.
01:02
They've tried to cancel police dispatch.
01:05
They confirmed the address at that time, but we'll call them back to this.
01:18

We just spoke to the alarm company.
01:35
They confirmed the address there, Bacon Street Auto Body.
01:39
They received the fire alarm activation at 2052, which was the same time as the panic alarm that they received.
01:49
In our fire inspection reports in-house, it says...
01:54
also that the company is not monitored.
01:57
Okay,
02:00
I have that.
02:01
I'm looking at our inspection report saying that there's no fire alarm panel here, so
02:05
at this point I would say police have cleared, we're going to clear,
02:10
there's no alarm sounding,
02:13
and the responder does not need to come unless they feel that they want them for their own well-being.
02:20
Received, then we'll let them know to work this out with the alarm company.
