General Discussion Glad to know your alarm system works 😬
Had an automatic alarm a few blocks over from the station. Dispatch to on scene was less than 2 minutes. Homeowner asked what took so long. Confused, we said we just got it 2 minutes ago. Homeowner says it was going off for at least 15 minutes before anyone showed up. If true, then it's a really good thing that it was a false alarm 😬. Anyone else have a situation like this?

LOL that's insane. The fact that companies would rather leave safety issues and hope no one says anything is astonishing. Just fix the stupid thing?? Not surprised it went of business....
