B-Building Fire Alarm Update

Last Thursday and this past Saturday, the fire alarm in the B-Building was activated due to faulty smoke detectors that may have been the result  of excess construction dust.  When there is an alarm, Boston Fire responds immediately to determine if there is a threat which they did in all cases.
