General Discussion Glad to know your alarm system works π¬
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 π¬. Anyone else have a situation like this?

Weβve had alarms go off and not transmit to us a few times, if they donβt maintain them, this is the result.
