 Devon and Somerset Fire crews respond to an average of 16 false alarms every day due to automatic fire alarms, placing an unnecessary burden on the Service’s resources and their ability to be ready and available for genuine emergencies.
In the last five years, they have been alerted to more than 55,000 automatic fire alarms, out of which just 42 needed the hose reel jet from one of their fire engines, which is less than 0.08%.
The fire service is consulting on the proposed changes to how the service should respond to automatic fire alarms, complete the online survey to share your views.
The consultation closes at midday on Wednesday 9 April 2025.
