The London Fire Brigade said less than 1% of automatic alarms are triggered by genuine fires.
The London Fire Brigade has announced it will soon stop attending automatic fire alarms in most non-residential buildings in the capital – unless they are told a fire is definitely happening.
Deputy commissioner Charlie Pugsley said outside those hours, the brigade will still attend all alarms in any building. Other premises exempt from the new policy include hospitals, schools, nurseries, care homes and heritage buildings.
