- In both instances UWPS officers and the Waterloo Fire Department responded to alarms at these locations. On both occasions the alarms were found to have been caused by someone falsely activating a pull station alarm.
UWPS wishes to remind the public that falsely activating a fire alarm is a criminal offence. There is a danger created for the fire departments and other emergency services personnel who respond in the belief there is a fire. When determined to be a false alarm it is recognized as a major inconvenience for the occupants of the buildings. These incidents are rigorously investigated by police and where those responsible are identified they will be charged criminally.
Police encourage anyone that has information regarding a fire alarm being falsely activated to report to their Don or U.W.P.S.
