Fire Alarm Activation at Sailor Apartments on North 9th Street

Summary: Fire units, including Engine 1 and Tower 1, responded to a fire alarm at the Sailor Apartments located at Number 1, North 9th Street, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Upon arrival, responders found that a basement detector had been pulled prior to their arrival, and a fourth-floor hallway detector was blinking but not registering on the alarm panel. The alarm system was found to be malfunctioning, as is reportedly usual at this location. The crew was unable to reset the system and waited for additional assistance. Eventually, all units except one became available, and the incident was cleared with the alarm left active due to the inability to reset it.
