The day a squirrel took down a whole school campus

Last Monday I got a call about a middle school in Arlington where the alarm was going off randomly every 20 minutes. Turns out a squirrel chewed through the main communication wire in the attic, causing all 12 zones to report false triggers at once. Has anyone else run into critters causing this kind of chaos in a big commercial building?

Had a raccoon break into a transformer once, knocked out power to three blocks.

My neighbor had a possum get into one and it caused a fire in the junction box, whole street smelled like burnt plastic for a week.

Squirrels really leveled up from digging up my tulips to destroying an entire school.
