False Fire Alarms Send Witte Hall Students Scrambling, Again

MADISON, Wis. — UW Housing officials are conceding they’ve been dealing with a troublesome fire alarm problem at Witte Hall on campus.

Housing officials told WISC-TV that an inspection on Monday showed the system is finally back on track, but not before 18 false fire alarms were reported this semester.

The semester-long problem has some students wondering why it took so long to get action and answers.
