Automatic Fire Alarm Activation

Incident Report – False Alarm

At 2:51 a.m., the Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the 100 block of Somers Cove, a residential apartment complex, following a smoke detector activation reported by the alarm monitoring company. No additional information was provided at the time of dispatch.

Command 2 responded, staffed by Lieutenant Hinman. Upon arrival, Lieutenant Hinman reported no visible smoke or fire from the exterior of the building and established Crisfield Command to investigate the alarm activation.

Following a brief investigation, the incident was determined to be a false alarm. The situation was brought under control, command was terminated, and Command 2 returned to quarters.
