Fire crews were sent to a home on Undercliff Court in Ridgewood for an activated smoke alarm. The alarm was reported from a smoke detector zone inside the house. Police advised that the homeowner believed a humidifier had set off the alarm. Firefighters arrived, checked the exterior of the two-story wood-frame home, and saw no smoke, fire, or alarm sounding. The resident refused assistance and did not allow entry, so the fire department ended the response and all units returned to service.
