Firefighters responded to two addresses multiple times this week for smoke detector activations. A Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal ordered a fire watch in the pool area of Homewood Suites after a smoke detector sounded three times Saturday. Meanwhile, an unattended hot griddle set off a smoke detector twice in recent days at the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Davidson College. Firefighters also were called to the college’s Watson Life Science Building when a big release of steam in a malfunctioning heating/air conditioning unit activated a fire alarm. Details on these stories, along with a tally of the week’s medical calls, may be found below.
