Toronto homeowners could soon pay more for false fire alarm calls.
The cost for the false alarm fire is $350 for each hour that fire department vehicles are held up at the scene of the alarm.
That fee could increase to $410 an hour which would raise an extra $2-million a year.
Last week, city council asked a committee to consider the idea of allowing homeowners just one free false fire alarm per year.
