Incident Report – Commercial Fire Alarm

At 1:41 p.m., the Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the 200 block of North Somerset Avenue for a fire alarm activation at a commercial building. The alarm monitoring company advised that the activation originated from a pull station.

Chief Pruitt responded aboard Command 2. Upon arrival, he observed no visible signs of smoke or fire from the exterior of the building. Chief Pruitt established command and initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the alarm activation.

After making contact with personnel on scene, Chief Pruitt was advised that the alarm was a false activation and that the correct alarm passcode had been provided to the monitoring company.

Following the investigation, the incident was determined to be a false alarm. All additional responding units were canceled. Command was subsequently terminated, and Command 2 returned to quarters without further incident.

Incident Disposition: False Alarm – No Fire Condition Found.
