## Caption

Imagine being jolted from a deep slumber to a blaring fire alarm, getting dressed and evacuating your building like you’re supposed to — only to find out, it was a false alarm.⁠
⁠
Residents in the Allure in Mineola, where rents are upwards of $4,000 a month, say they have been experiencing this for years.  The most recent alarm though, has gotten the most attention.⁠
⁠
At 1:14 a.m. on Sept. 17, the fire alarm was activated, causing dozens of residents to leave the building. Melissa Zimerman recorded the confusing and disturbing fire alarm response while dragging her 2-year-old, her husband and their dog out of their apartment.⁠
⁠
In the video, the Zimermans are all wearing protective headphones because sadly, this has become routine.  According to a summons from the Village of Mineola that is posted at the door of the apartment building, there have been at least 13 false fire alarms so far in 2026. ⁠
