The water motorboat gongs going, there's no water coming out of the building.

963. We've got PD. They just walked up to the truck. He's saying he's not finding anything anywhere.
01:21
Asked if we want to go in and go take a look for otherwise if we just want them to reset the alarm.
01:29
Yep, I guess we have to. If they don't have the expertise to determine if they have a sprinkler flow in the building, then we've got to take a look at the sprinkler room.

It's on the... north side of the building kind of in the northeast corner.
01:46
I don't know what the best approach is from there, but if freeze you want to dismount and head in with IC to the sprinkler room and see if the sprinkler's flowing or not, I guess that's our next step.

The sprinkler bell's ringing, but there's no water coming out of the building, so I don't think we have a problem. I just need somebody to lay eyes on the riser and make sure there's that water flow in the building somewhere.
