An Alarming Event
A birthday cake set off a fire alarm today and sent firefighters dashing to the scene. Mabel McCullough’s birthday cake with 95 candles set off the alarm which created a large cloud of smoke.
The smoke from the candles set off the fire alarm, resulting 5 fire engines and 2 ladder companies to arrive. Fire Chief Lonnie Lamb said that in his 23 years on the job he’s seen a lot of things set off a fire alarm, but never a birthday cake.
