North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say they are receiving a large number of false alarm calls from the Scarborough area.
Deputy Chief Fire officer Jonathan Dyson says the number of false alerts has increased in recent weeks:
Building owners in the Scarborough Borough could be fined if their fire alarms persistently trigger false alarm call outs for the fire and rescue service.
The county's police and fire commissioner Phillip Allot is asking the service to look at charging repeat offenders:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
