Fire & ArsonA commercial fire alarm was triggered at an apartment complex on North Bennington Avenue. Fire responders arrived and found no visible fire or smoke. The alarm was likely caused by a wide power outage affecting the area, which caused alarm systems to activate accidentally. Investigators heard beeping noises probably from battery backups on the second floor, but found no fire or active alarms.
