Alarm false alarms cost Frederick County time and safety
Police and fire officials report 1993 estimates show a high toll from automatic alarms with about 3000 false activations. The waste drains 1600 volunteer firefighters, diverts patrols, risks officer alertness, and prompts fewer trucks at genuine emergencies. Montgomery County fines repeat offenders up to 4000 dollars. Frederick City plans an education drive for alarm owners to balance deterrence and utility.
