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

Fire crews were sent to a four-story office building on Capitol Avenue for a central station fire alarm. While units were responding and checking the building, a message came in that the alarm was a false alarm related to system testing. There was some confusion at first about whether the system was actually being tested, and crews worked to get into the building and confirm the situation. In the end, the alarm was determined to be a system test and not an active fire, and most units were released, with one engine remaining for follow-up as needed.
