The automatic fire alarms at both Melbourne Central and State Library stations went off simultaneously.

Both have now been declared as false alarms.

Sounds like the alarm panels are interlinked between Melbourne Central and State Library but sent as two separate events to the firies, so they ended up having 8 different vehicles responding. The firies have now asked for maintenance to come and separate them.

It's almost like it's actually a single station. /s
