[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3256830, member: 29706"] Dealt with a large building in Lawton. About it used to be a hotel converted to apartments. If you have been to the mall area you have seen it. 99.9 % of the time fire department wasn't called as it was a false alarm. Every time they roll they charged. Panel went off it notified the monitoring company who called the owner to verify. I was on the 9th floor and would come down the stairs check the panel then go find the light. Verify no fire and then reset the panel and call the owner to let them know. Head one woman set it off from steam in the shower being key into the bedroom. She wasn't happy when I reached around the door and disconnected the chain lock from the outside. But at that point I was considered an extension of the fire department and had the right to enter. Last I saw the building was shut down. Owner needed to fix the panel again while I was there and put it off. That amount other things and I left. That was in 2011 around this time of year. I had movedout of the building a year prior. Most people ignore the alarms. Honestly if a building had an alarm going off and got are walking past are you going to make a call? How about if there is a big car accident and people are out walking around? Most people will assume it's nothing or someone else will call. However if you leave a box or bag somewhere before looking someone will call in a strange package ad it might be a bomb. But even then it probably sat there for a few hours first. [/QUOTE]
