my new fire alarm

#1 Post by ghostjmf » Tue Nov 01, 2016 9:43 pm

says "fire, fire" as well as squealing.

I could have lived without this.

Needless to say, I as a renter, don't get to pick this stuff out.

Nor dd they leave me an explanatory brochure.

If it was a smart alarm, it would have said "smoke from fried garlic, smoke from fried garlic".

I have heard it said that there should be a smoke alarm that when it sounds it should stop if you say, "I'm just cooking."

Hey, I found smoke detectors were very valuable when I had teenagers in the house.

Nothing like hitting the test button to get kids out of bed!

That's how I knew when dinner was ready.
