Fire Alarm Activation at Citizens Plaza, 700 4th Avenue

Summary: An automatic fire alarm was reported at Citizens Plaza, located at 700 4th Avenue, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The alarm, originating from apartment 407's hallway smoke detector, prompted the dispatch of multiple fire units including Engine 95, Engine 235, Truck 56, and Truck 506. Upon arrival, crews found no visible fire or smoke. Entry was made into apartment 407, and checks with gas meters revealed no hazardous readings. The alarm panel could not be reset, and the issue was determined to be a malfunction of the alarm system, not an actual fire. The alarm was not reported by the security company but by a resident, and only partially activated in the building. Maintenance was notified to address the faulty panel.
