We were alerted five times today between 1pm and 6pm! In all, we were called to respond to two medical calls, one motor vehicle accident and two commercial fire alarms that came in only minutes apart!

Ladder 22 responded to Walmart for a fire alarm and within minutes we were also advised of a fire alarm at Home Depot.

After a short investigation, it was determined a faulty water line had set off the alarm at Walmart.

In the mean time, mutual aid departments responded to Home Depot and determined an apparent surge in water pressure resulted in a system fault causing the activation there.

Thank you to Big Beaver Volunteer Fire Company, Patterson Twp. Volunteer Fire Company, Patterson Heights Volunteer Fire Department and the City of Beaver Falls Fire Department for their assistance.
