i know i sound like im trying to be tough shit fire fighter, but check yer shit! just got home from a call in which the owners of the house didnt have smoke alarms, instead their dog's barking woke them up. by the time we got there, this beautiful house way already a tinderbox and the whole thing's gone. the dog was found dead under a bed after we got the fire out.i PLEAD to you yo keep on this shit!

I changed the battery on mine two weeks ago! :D

Also useful, a carbon monoxide detector

I've checked ‘em, they work. A big plus is that we’ve got a brick house and no gas so I'll be sleeping safely tonight.
Was it your first dead pet/house owner? I know you only recently became a full grown firegirl… Anyways, Thanks for keeping the people of America safe.

Oo yeah! I just moved in here. I should check them out. Thanks for reminding me!

I'm on the seventh floor in a flat in 40 year old Yugoslavian era buliding,fire alarms are some kind of newity here.
If I don't move out soon,this,I beleive will be my tomb.

EDIT-not a very good location for zombie outbreak, too -.-

They should make you the new face/voice of fire safety PIT - a lot more people would sit up and listen!

Thanks for posting this, Pit! Because after reading your post I noticed that the light on the one in my room isn't blinking. D:
Asked my dad to check them all tomorrow morning. Just cross my fingers that nothing catches fire until then.

glad to be of service. and sorry to come off soundin so dramatic guys.

i have 4 fire alarms in every room

Oh, it turns out mine doesn't have a light, just a button that looks like one. Replaced the battery anyways.

Pssh, fire alarms are just another way of the government monitoring us.

Be careful when handling ionization smoke alarms, they incorporate radioactive materials that are potentially harmful after prolonged close contact.
