October 31, 2025 — At approximately 8:45 p.m. on Friday, Knowlton Township Fire and Rescue Company No. 1 was dispatched to a reported fire alarm activation on Lime Kiln Road. Engine 41-63, Tanker 41-71, and Car 41 responded to the scene.
Upon arrival, crews found no smoke or fire conditions inside the residence. After investigating, firefighters determined the alarm was likely triggered by the power outages and electrical surges affecting portions of northern Warren County throughout the day.
Sustained high wind gusts had resulted in several downed branches and wires, contributing to intermittent outages and disruptions across the area.
KTFR reminded residents to remain cautious during severe weather events and encouraged the community to report any electrical hazards or fire alarm activations immediately.
