Here's what happens when there's a short-circuit in the ol' communication chain somwhere.
Let's say you're a construction worker, doing renovation on a high school, and you just happen to knock a sprinkler head off. Okay, no problem, we'll call the fire alarm company and tell them not to send the fire department if they get an alarm--and trust me, they will. . .well, the alarm company isn't listening well, and thinks you said "Don't send them on a SYSTEM TROUBLE alarm." So, "Don't send them on an alarm" becomes "Don't send them on a trouble alarm", which morphs into "Jeffersonville Fire Department, District 2, have an active fire alarm at 2315 Allison Lane, Jeffersonville High School, cross streets 10th and Meadowlark, alarm company advising a general fire alarm, your box 235.". . .
The Chief sounded kinda annoyed on the radio. Can't say I blame him. . .
