Firefighters from Griswold responded to a fire alarm at the Griswold Care Center this morning. They were dispatched at around 8:13-a.m. for a report of an alarm coming from the basement. The alarm company ordered an evacuation of the facility as a precaution.  No fire or smoke issues were found.

Care Center officials said the problem was determined to have been water leaking onto some wiring, which set off the alarm. An electrician was called to repair the wiring.
