A.
Any nuisance false alarm within the Borough of Saddle River may be
subject to a penalty issued by the Saddle River Fire Marshal/Saddle
River Fire Chief.
B.
A nuisance alarm is considered a repeat alarm activation due to a
continuous malfunction in an existing alarm system or a continuous
accidental activation within a three-month period. In order to be
considered a nuisance alarm, the alarm must be tripped and the Fire
Department must respond three times within a three-month period. The
activation must be reported through the Saddle River Police and Fire
Department tracking system.
C.
If an alarm is deemed a nuisance alarm, a penalty may be issued jointly
by the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal. On the fourth offense, a penalty
may be issued of not more than $500. If the nuisance alarm persists
the Fire Marshal and Fire Chief may issue a penalty of up to $500
for each additional activation. Penalties collected pursuant to this
section shall be directed to the Saddle River Fire Department to defray
the cost of gear and/or equipment deemed necessary by the Saddle River
Fire Chief.
