Installing Medical alert systems real pain to firefighters

["Nick Markowitz" <nick-markowitz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several times this past month  a customer of mine who has Multiple Building
Apartment Complexes have had to chase there tails along with the Fire Depts.
responding becuse an IDIOT Medical Alert Installer has put in a smoke along
with the Medical Alert System in an elderly residents apartment , and
Central Station did not give clear info to 911 center. As to what apartment
was having alarm and Firefighters thought they were responding to a building
Fire Alarm. To make matters worse one of there apartments had a window
broken when Medics responded and could not gain entry only to find no
medical condition no one home and no medical alert system it had been
disconnected by a previous tennant  who never let Central Station know that
they moved.
My clients have now sent letters to all tennants that they are to be
notified if a system has been installed and there  Maintenance Emergency
Number is to be notified by Central Station as well as 911 so problems can
be eliminated or AHJ is going to start fines .
It apears who ever has been installing these systems is some one who is just
a salesman with no training and has been causing headeaches all over Western
Pa. by not giving clear information. Needless to say AHJ's are pissed and
looking for them.
