    Automatic Fire Alarms (AFA) Response Guidelines

    • The purpose of this guideline is to provide standardized responses to Automatic Fire Alarms (AFA) incidents.
    • The guideline may be altered based on information received from Northwest Central Dispatch (NWCD) or to achieve a faster response.

    Response Procedure

    • For automatic fire alarms in fire position and residential automatic dialing fire alarm systems, the response will include:
      • Still district or closest engine
      • Still district or closest ambulance
      • Tower 22
      • Squad 22 (if still district ambulance is not available)
    • For telephone reports from single-family residences indicating a single station smoke detector activation with no smoke or fire conditions, the response will be downgraded to a Code 2 response and responded to in a non-emergency mode.
