Ashland, OH — A late-night scare at the Ashland Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center at 527 East Liberty Street triggered a immediate response from the Ashland Fire Department on Tuesday night.

At around 10 p.m., a fire alarm sensor indicated potential flames on the roof of the building, caused an emergency response. Firefighters arrived quickly and conducted a thorough inspection. Fortunately, it was determined to be a false alarm caused by a malfunctioning sensor.

With no actual fire, the center resumed regular operations by the following morning. Community members are invited to visit and enjoy the many amenities the facility offers, including the indoor waterpark, fitness center, drop-in fitness classes, and RJ’s Spray Park.
