Residents at Northern Heights Condo in Yellowknife were likely woken up early on Tuesday morning. Around 1:15 a.m. on June 24, the building's fire alarm went off. Residents quietly made their way downstairs to the building's foyer to spot an ambulance and firetruck outside. But according to city communications advisor Saxon Chung, there was never a fire to begin with.

"The Yellowknife Fire Division arrived on scene and determined there was no fire at the location," said Chung, who explained a change in the buildingSA国际影视传媒檚 water pressure triggered the alarm.

Chung added that seven personnel responded and the crew remained on site for about 40 minutes.
