They did not give a room number. Perfect. We told Engine 2 and Engine 5 we advised that we did receive an alarm here not even 30 minutes ago. The alarm company said it was a regular burglary alarm, but he was showing silent smoke detector. The call-taker did confirm with the alarm company multiple times that it was not a fire alarm, but PD did arrive on scene and say it was. They did advise fire was not needed, but there is no further information just that the smoke detector keeps going off, but be advised it may possibly be silent. Thank you.
