2.12.079 Determination of false alarm--Rebuttable presumption.
For the purposes of this article, there is a rebuttable
presumption that the following determinations made by the fire chief or by a
fire official dispatched to the premises reporting an alarm signal are
correct:
(a) There is no evidence of a fire or other activity that
would warrant a call for immediate fire department assistance at the
premises;
(b) No individual who was on or near the premises, or who has
viewed a video communication from the premises, called for a fire department
dispatch or verified a need for an immediate fire department response;
and
(c) There is no evidence that violent conditions of nature or
other extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the alarm user caused
the activation of the alarm. (Ord. O-15-04 (part), 2004)
