Fire alarm at Milton Keynes convenience store caused by activation of security system
An investigation has found that a fire alarm which went off at a convenience store in Milton Keynes earlier this morning (Tuesday) was caused by the activation of its security system.
Bucks Fire and Rescue Service and Thames Valley Police were called to the convenience store on Faraday Drive in Shenley Lodge just after 9.30am on July 21.
Bucks Fire and Rescue reported that following an investigation they found the activation had been caused by the smoke cloak activation system, a system that creates a cloud of fog to try and stop intruders.
The emergency services confirmed the incident was a false alarm and worked to ensure the premises was safe.
Firefighters remained at the scene to complete safety checks.
