According to Marsh, the latest false alarm was received at 12:30 a.m. last Sunday, apparently from the vicinity of Tenement 5. As a re.;ult of this and the earlier false alarms every man on duty at all the fire stations in Columbia had to dress and board his station's truck, the chief said. A fter the proper station has ben notified, its trucks are sent to the scene of the alarm usually with 18 men on each truck. The remainder of the men at all other stations must remain aboard their trucks, ready to assist until the answering trucks return. This costs the city between $300 and $400 each time a truck goes out and puts 70 men on alert in addition to those who man the truck answering the ala-rm. Chief Marsh pointed out that the pen alty for turning in a false alarm can be severe, citing the fact that in a previous year several USC students were convicted in city courts of this offense and fined $100.00 each. The maximum penalty for turning in a false alarm is one year in prison. Stressing .the harm that a false alarm can do, Chief Marsh de scribed the danger of fire trucks hitting a pedestrian or another vehicle while rushing to answer an alarm and the danger that fire trucks answering a false alarm will not be able to answer a call to a real fire on the other side of -town in time.
