Fire alarms sound at unoccupied construction site, Raleigh NC
Fire & ArsonFire alarms and audible alerts are sounding at a new, unoccupied construction building near the YMCA on Cox Avenue. The building is fully barricaded, and there is no access to the fire alarm control panel or Knox Box. Responders have found no visible signs of fire or water inside or outside the building. The water flow alarm (water gong) is sounding, but the cause is unclear due to lack of access and no visible issues.
