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

Fire crews respond to an alarm that was triggered by a detector in a laundry room, not by a manual pull station. They talk with people near the control panel, confirm that the alarm panel may not have activated as expected, and begin putting away fans and restoring their equipment. Some detectors were sounding, but it is unclear if they were connected to the main system.
