Fire response policy
False- and nuisance-alarm charges
The first and second covered alarms have no service charge. The third and fourth are $250 each, the fifth is $500, and the sixth and each additional alarm are $1,000.
Testing notice. Notify the Fire Department or county 911 before testing covered equipment.
Because the reviewed chapter is fire-focused, contact Scranton Police or the city directly to confirm whether a separate burglar-alarm registration process exists for your property.
Chapter 152 defines alarms as communications to the Scranton Fire Department and defines false alarms to include direct, telephone and central-station-monitored fire-alarm signals. It does not establish a general residential burglar-alarm permit in the text reviewed.
