Immediately the police officers quickly locate the source of the sound and identified it is coming from an abandoned lot with high fences and barbed wires, the officers tried to look for any person whom maybe guarding the lot but unfortunately they didn't find one. They immediately reported it back to NPD and asked for NFD to gain access inside the compound. Within minutes NFD Battalion 13, Engine 27, and Ladder 03 arrived and forcefully unlocked the gate.
