Their excuse for not investigating further is that the building was locked up and the lights were out.

If they knew that the button was in the freezer, maybe they would've reasoned that was why they weren't seeing anything from the outside.

They also said that false alarms were somewhat common, so I am guessing that was a determining factor.
