Warren fire chief warns of fraudulent calls

WARREN

Fire Chief Ken Nussle issued a warning today for residents to be alert for fraudulent telephone calls offering to check a household smoke alarm.

The Warren Fire Department is not making these calls, Nussle said.

“Do not invite anyone into your home without first checking the legitimacy of the call,” Nussle said. He suggests calling the fire department at 841-2542 to report a suspicious call.

“The safest thing to do is just say ‘no’ and hang up,” Nussle said. “Then call the department to report it.”
