The New Milford Town Council has adopted an Alarms ordinance. The measure is aimed at cutting down on false alarms through system maintenance, fines and liens. A group will be appointed by the Mayor's office to oversee the fire false alarms and another to deal with false burglar alarms. The fine for two false alarms would be $50, $100 for the next and $150 for four or more false alarms in a year. There was a suggested “suspension-of-response” penalty for unpaid fines, but that was changed to a lien placed on the property instead. The ordinance also includes a $200 fine for any property bringing New Milford to Court to obtain a search warrant, if it gets to that point, so the fire marshal can inspect it.
