Blown dust triggers Ferdinand alarm

FERDINAND — Units of the Ferdinand Volunteer Fire Department responded Tuesday to an alarm activation at the Sisters of St. Benedict, 802 E. 10th St.
There was no fire associated with the 4:42 p.m. callout, according to Fire Chief John Hoppenjans. Instead, he said, a new air handler had been installed that blew a haze of dust from the ductwork.

Four trucks and 15 firefighters were on the scene 45 minutes.
The Ferdinand Police Department and St. Benedict maintenance personnel assisted.
