Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

As discussed during the dispatch call, radio traffic describes a possible residential fire alarm at a home on Brown Road associated with a local beauty shop. The alarm was apparently triggered while someone was changing smoke detector batteries, and the fire assignment to that location was canceled. Units were then requested for another call on Woodbine Road.
