False alarm reported at Birmingham museum, Charleston WV


Emergency responders arrived at a museum near Chestnut Ave after a fire alarm was activated, but found no signs of fire. Attempts to contact the key holder failed as their phone went to a full voicemail. The museum's front entrances were secure and the alarm system appeared to be malfunctioning. Cleaning staff on site also could not reach the responsible person.
