He reviewed a recent training <br />burn that was held along with other neighboring Fire Departments. <br />Goetten questioned the high number of false alarms listed in the February report. She asked what <br />measures would be taken to address the situation. Brown responded that false alarms are being <br />tracked differently this year, and that Orono had increased their fees. The increase in calls could also <br />be attributed to a growing population with more home alarms. <br />Brown added that the Department was attempting to determine what initially sets off an alarm. A <br />malfunction could occur, or there could be smoke from food or a fireplace damper setting off the <br />is alarm. <br />1 <br />
