16.07.060 False Fire Alarms.
(A) If the activation of a fire alarm system is deemed by the Enforcement Official to be a false fire alarm, the owner will be provided a written notice by an officer or member of the Fire Department or the False Alarm Coordinator, indicating that the activation was deemed to be the result of a false fire alarm. The written notice may be delivered in person, or thorough the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner or authorized representative.
(1) The owner must return the completed report of service/repair within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the written notice to verify, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Enforcement Official, that:
(a) The fire alarm system has been examined by a qualified fire alarm technician; and
(b) A bona fide attempt has been made to identify and correct any defect of design, installation, or operation of the fire alarm system which was identifiable as the cause of the false fire alarm.
(2) Any owner who fails to return a report of service/repair within said fifteen (15) day period, which is reasonably satisfactory to the Enforcement Official, is subject to a fee for the false fire alarm. Such fee is adopted by resolution of the Governing Body. (Ord. 18-01 § 7, 2018; Ord. 08-80 § 1, 2008.)
