Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1713

Engines 22 and 23 were dispatched to the Alfa Laval Plant on Hanna Street for an automatic fire alarm. Engine 23 responded and arrived on side A, and Chief 22-2 responded to the scene POV. On his arrival, he canceled Engine 22 just as they were responding and held the box to Engine 23. Plant employees had propped open a door and welding smoke traveled into the office hallway, setting off the alarm. After conferring with ADT (the alarm company), the alarm system was taken out of service until they could send a representative to the plant to repair it, and command placed the box available.
