Holland City (MI) Council OKs fines for false fire alarms
False alarms in Holland will equal real fines.
The city council Wednesday approved a measure that has businesses whose automatic fire alarm systems go off without cause pay $250 for each false alarm after the first two.
The measure is intended to cut down on the number of false alarms and $250 doesn't cover the cost of a fire call, Fire Chief Don Henderson said.
