§ 5-1. Legislative intent.

It is the intent of this chapter to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Town of Lancaster by reducing the number of avoidable alarms of fire, intrusion, holdup or other emergencies which contribute to ineffective utilization of police, fire and medical emergency agencies; and which require emergency responses which are susceptible to high accident rates, interfere with genuine emergencies (responses) and produce unnecessary alarm noise to the surrounding community.
