EDWARD M. KOLBELL, ESQ. Attorney for Franklin Square-Munson Fire District
We acknowledge receipt of your letter stating that your fire district has installed fire alarm systems in school buildings, private hospitals and nursing homes and that due to "mechanical difficulties and carelessness on the part of the institution wherein the fire alarm boxes are located they are frequently discharged causing the district apparatus to respond." You inquire whether the board of fire commissioners has the power under Town Law §
In our opinion, neither Town Law §
In connection with the installation of fire alarm systems in such buildings, we draw to your attention an informal opinion of this office reported in 1974 Op. Atty. Gen. 320 and Comptroller's opinion reported in 23 Compt. 479, copies of which we enclose for your convenience.
