Take note of the words ‘The next time’. I am aware of the length of time this fire burned. The next time it could spread and burn down the entire school if the alarm is not taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.

Stuart Crockwell, you are doing a great job as the COO of Cedarbridge. One thing I must say, is the the students have a lot of respect for you. Keep up the good work.

It sorta was left overnight to burn, the alarm went off at 11:30pm and the damage was discovered at 07:30am.

Maybe the damage would have been less if the alarm was verified and checked out, as the system allows for before calling it a false alarm.

I guess since the police didn’t see any smoke, they thought there was no fire. Good policing. The next time it could be more severe if left overnight to burn.

In Atlanta, there was a case where someone called in a fire at their residence and because the fire department could not see any smoke (from the road), they assumed no fire. Rather than thoroughly checking it out they left. Unfortunately, someone lost their life as indeed there was a fire.

I agree. I wonder what the school’s insurance policy says. What the security firm’s insurance policy says. 911 won’t have insurance. This is an economic stimulus plan in the making……for lawyers. This’ll keep ‘em busy for months and months. And Larry Mussenden exhorts the students to become Chief Fire Officers or Commissioners of Police…man, there’s a world of additional opportunities if the kids up there “watch this space”!! An economy in the making.

you know i was thinking the exact same thing. rather odd and a little silly to not call the people who handle fires to put out a fire.

Wouldn’t it make sense that the 911 dispatchers called the FIRE SERVICE to action a FIRE ALARM rather than the police?
