Your comment was: “Can anyone explain this seemingly ubiquitous policy, that once on their way the fire department will show up in full regalia and force even though the fire alarm has been retracted?” NYC FDNY does not send, as you put it, a full regalia and force, but only sends an officer and some limited related staff to the scene to investigate the dispatch notification when restores are retransmitted right after the alarm based upon the building size, occupancy and other factors. This does not apply in all cases such as schools. If the building has a history of false alarms it may apply despite the other factors that I mentioned. That is why all signals sent from the location are required to be sent to the FDNY as they take place even though they may have already been sent in some form. With Volunteer Fire Departments that does not apply because who is going to make a decision as to respond fully or partially and loose time it the event is real. I am sure these policies also apply to other Fire Departments around the country as well in other states. SG *********************** Response *********************** No one else has commented so I am not sure if the non-cancellation policy on a dispatched run is common policy or not. That seems to be the practice in my village. *********************** To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at ww.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ******************** THE ALARM EXCHANGE - the alarm industries leading classified and business exchange - updated daily ************************* Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
