The Sterling Central Apartment complex, located on Alafaya Trail across from UCF, had its fire alarms sound at approximately 2 a.m. this morning, due to a supposed fire.
STUDENT WHO CALLED 9-1-1
Fire Rescue responded to a call claiming there was smoke coming out of the second floor’s hallway. However, the smoked turned out to be nothing more than a prank. Two fire extinguishers were sprayed in the hallway, and gave off a smoke-like appearance.
