Smoke detector has been beeping from condo for low battery for weeks. There are 4 condos per building, the windows in unit 708 have been open all summer, and the beep echos in the woods behind.

The unit seems to be owned and occupied currently, but unsure whether occupant is aware of smoke detectors importance.

For the past three nights, someone is burning what smells like trash in the neighborhood. Definitely not woodsmoke. This morning at 3AM the smoke was so bad we had to close our windows. Would it be possible to have someone drive through or should I call dispatch when I smell it?
