DOTHAN:   10:21 AM   Dothan 911 has dispatched Dothan Fire to a fire alarm at Alabaster Bay Apartments on Highway 231 South.

Dothan Fire units rolling to apartment B20 at this time. We will update.

UPDATED @ 10:21 AM

Dothan 911 updated to the responding units the alarm company called and reported they were working on the alarm system. Dothan Fire Batallion Chief directed units to continue until verified.

Dothan Fire Engine 2 ( Lakewood ) was first on the scene. They instructed all units to what is called Level 1 staging. That is where units stand by at fire hydrants and in a position to begin fire fighting.

Dothan Fire Engine 2 reported the apartment complex was pressure washing. There were  no active fires. All units were instructed to return to service.

Emergency units MUST roll based on the information presented to the 911 Center. They must respond based on worst case situation until it is found out otherwise. That is why the 911 Communications Officers ask so many questions as to make sure adequate resources are available.
