(A) Any responsible party cited for a false alarm has the right to appeal to the Director of Public Safety as to the validity of the determination that the alarm was false. An appeal must be in writing and must be made within seven business days of the date of the notice pursuant to § 102.07 that the alarm was determined to be false.
(B) The burden of proof shall be with the responsible party to prove the alarm activation which was classified as false was caused due to a condition totally beyond the responsible party's control.
(C) The Director of Public Safety shall have the sole authority to deny or grant any appeal. If the appeal is granted, the record of the false alarm shall be expunged from the records of the responsible party. If the appeal is denied the responsible party shall be given written notice of the reason for the denial.
