Fire crews responded to a fire alarm at a large single-story nursing facility near East Burns Rd. On arrival, they saw no visible fire but noted an odor in the kitchen and the building alarm lights flashing. Investigation showed that a cleaning crew had turned off the kitchen exhaust system the previous night and did not turn it back on. When kitchen staff used the ovens, this triggered the fire alarm. The alarm was reset, maintenance was informed about remaining trouble alerts, and there was no actual fire or evacuation.
