False fire alarm with no fire/smoke detectors on system

cs-support

I have a Ring system set up with two outdoor cameras, multiple window/door sensors, and motion sensors. I have never had fire/smoke detection on the system. I had a false fire alarm at 6:30 in the morning, but fire departments was not dispatched. All firmware is up to date.Any suggestions? Possible firmware bug?

    Hi @ericjkrebs. Are you signed up for Professional Monitoring under the Ring Protect plan? You'll need to be signed up for the Ring Protect Plus plan in order to get access to the Professional Monitoring. You can read more about it in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048476471-How-do-you-enable-professional-monitoring-for-Ring-Alarm-). I hope that helps you get everything squared away! :)

      @ericjkrebs Can you share a screenshot of where you're seeing specifically a fire alarm listed in your Event History in the Ring App? I'd be happy to take a look as you would need a Smoke & CO Listener or the First Alert Z-Wave Combo in order for a fire alarm to be detected on the Ring System.

      There is no indication of an alarm going off in any of my alerts. The closest thing I have is the image attached. It shows that we entered the incorrec PIN, then the correct PIN to get the alarm to shut off. There is no other record in the "ALARM" history that shows this. I don't see anybody else w

      I had the exact same issue this morning at 5:00AM. No smoke detectors connected to Ring Alarm but it gave off a fire alarm some how. If you get any answers about this, would love to hear what it was.

    Just had the same thing happen at 4:58am - no history of the alarm or anything in the app. No fire products on the system. Any more information here?

      This just happened to me, no smoke detector installed. Any updates from Ring with reg. to this issue? Weird thing is the alarm does not show up on History.

        Hi Neighbors. First, check your Event History to confirm the type of Alarm you had. If you have a Gen 2 Keypad, it is possible to dispatch the Fire Department using the one touch buttons on the side of the Keypad. You can also do this via the Ring app using the Red Shield Button in the upper right hand corner. If you have confirmed that the above listed circumstances are not the case, please reach out to our support team to investigate this for you. Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). If you are outside of the US, please visit [here ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/213608406)to see how to contact support.

          We had our fire alarm go off with a false alarm last night. 9 pm and we were watching tv and boom, it just went off… No smoke, no fire nothing…? I see my detector battery is at half… Ring called us and we stopped the trucks from rolling, glad we were home. Whats up with this issue??
