WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita authorities are preparing to implement a new ordinance so that firefighters and police don’t have to respond to people who make multiple false alarm calls.

Wichita Fire Marshal Brad Crisp tells KAKE-TV that emergency crews may not respond to certain calls from home alarm systems starting in October. He says officers may not respond to houses that have more than six false alarm alerts in a year or where people owe fees from false alarms.

Wichita Police say 93 percent of all home alarm calls made to 911 are false. The city approved the new rules in July.

The city attorney previously said the city won’t be liable if emergency crews don’t respond to an alarm they believe to be false.
