We replaced the #FireAlarms in our house at the start of the year - new regulations in Scotland demand interlinked #SmokeAlarm and #HeatAlarm in kitchen etc.
In the last week or so we’ve had multiple “false alarms”, apparently from the entrance hall. I suspect trace levels of smoke from neighbours’ starting their wood burning stoves with the weather turning frosty… at least I can’t smell it but don’t want their #AirPollution in our home.
How Regulation Came to Be: Our Lady of the Angels (24th in series)
Once upon a time, fires were the biggest danger in schools. The reaction to this tragic fire made a huge difference.

Why do #FireAlarms choose to tell you that the battery is running low in the middle of the night? I can’t recall one ever commence it’s beeping during the day.
Also why is this battery decline aligned with my first quiet weekend in ages disrupting a good night’s sleep and a lie in? Proof of practical joker deity?
Picture middle of the night bleary-eyed standing on a chair while my normally light-sleeping partner oblivious.
TIL: A KAC fire call point and Fulleon/Menvier are *not* the same (in spite of looking near identical and having a similar looking test key), even though they appear to share the 76 x 40mm glass.
Fulleon points don't have a resettable element option, leading to the glass accidentally being cracked during a bell test last week, it turns out there are 0 spares in the whole building (these and more test keys are now on order)
