This isn't exactly earth-shattering news, but El Dorado County firefighters stopped by the El Dorado County Historical Museum this afternoon to help with a fire alarm issue.

We're still not sure what happened, but think one of the heat sensors in the engine house or machine shop malfunctioned. We weren't doing anything in either building that would've set the alarm off.

I'm not sure why E74 responded as the engine is houses at Station 74. The station is located in the community of Lotus, about 10 miles northwest of Placerville. Maybe the closest engine, Engine 25, was out at the time.
