All's well that ends well. But I have to ask where in NYS and who is the alarm company ? I ask because for over 20 years I have made my living as a FF in NYS and gone on thousands of automatic alarms.

Yes folks do try to cancell us but all FD's i know still respond.

Not sure if its in the NYS uniform fire code, but I do know its often an insurance issue.

I can't see any alarm company cancelling the FD when told,ya we had a fire but its out now . They often will tell us the homeowner called and said burned food, yet we still come just to make sure because folks will lie to cover up kids playing with matches, spouses burning the others clothes and so on .
