On Wednesday, August 13th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for two automatic fire alarm incidents at the Holly Lakes Campsite General Facility off John J. Williams Highway.  It was reported to be a dining area smoke detector and a general AFA.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tower 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Incident Command 80 from the Oak Orchard facility.

Discussions with the facility management after Incident Command arrived yielded cancellation of all responding apparatus.  There was interior cleaning of the kitchen grills that set off the alarm in one incident and a desire from the facility to cancel with proper passcodes with the other incident.
