Fire & ArsonAs discussed during the dispatch call, fire crews responded to repeated alarm activations on Cherry Street in Burlington. The alarms were traced to faulty smoke detectors reportedly affected by ongoing construction activity on multiple floors. Ladder Two assumed command and coordinated with facilities to replace the detector. No fire was detected, and the cause appeared to be equipment malfunction rather than an active fire event.
