@strathclydefire1 - Hi, sorry this reply has taken a while, we didn’t get an email alert until this week! In answer to your question, the number of fire appliances that attend an incident depends on the risk to life. In this case a potential fire in a heavily populated block of student accommodation would put many lives at risk if the alarm was real – and we can’t take any chances that it may be a false alarm.
Great vid to raise awareness of false alarms
Question though what is the need of 4 appliances attending
