If the alarm system is set up correctly the first call is to the home owner.
If needs to be set up so that the contact is not the land line if the system has it tied up with the alarm signal.
The customer needs to know how to silence the alarm and that they need to contact the system provider when they generate an alarm.
Are you willing to pay more tax to that there is enough first response available to handle real and false alarms?
The RCMP are also getting far to many false intrusions alarms and have contacted to county to create a by law so that the the home owner can be held accountable for those.
How much of tax increase are you willing to pay to fix the problem?

I'm talking about fires like Huntin Stuff's case. Electronic alarms are a different story.
