Burned food set off a basement smoke detector at 174 Jelliff Mill Road.  Fire crews checked out the wood frame structure and found nothing unusual.

Police and fire officials were called with a report about an unusual odor at 249 Hickock Road.  By the time the fire department arrived, the homeowner said the odor was gone.

Firefighters responded to five false alarms, including one set off by contractors working at the Congregational Church, and one at a liquor store on Elm Street.

A car fire at 56 Summit Ridge Road was put out by the time the department arrived.
