Faulty washing machine sets off fire alarm

As discussed during the dispatch call, fire crews in Fitchburg responded to a fire alarm at a building near Pearl Street. The alarm was reportedly triggered by a faulty washing machine. The appliance was taken out of service, but there was an ongoing issue with a main water valve that could not be shut off, and maintenance was requested to inspect it. A separate medical call for a fall at the same address involved a rescue unit response.
