Fire Commissioner Scannell issued a statement defending enforcement of the charter law for direct fire alarm connections from interior premises to Fire Department headquarters. He noted only two companies meet the requirement, described risks of others routing alarms through intermediaries, and argued the two approved systems provide direct, faster, more reliable service without interior personnel error. The press conference cited 1897 charter provisions and 1885 laws governing direct communications.
