Good evening.

In the first year after my husband and I bought our house, we kept having the security system’s smoke alarm go off, and it would auto-alert the fire department. A mess, repeatedly.

Literally the same dude would show up, sigh, and be like “you cool?” And I’d be like, “yeah, sorry.”

Eventually I was like… let’s just remove that one. It’s always the problem, it’s too close to the stove. The so-called experts installed it, but from experience it was wrong. So we outed it. Just that one.

And we did, and the problem went away forever. For us and for the firemen.

Sometimes it’s the rules that are the problem. Not the rules’ breaker. Test everything.

We have only one fire alarm on the main floor, and it goes off every time we use the stove (cast iron). Unfortunately its hard wired (and I want it hard wired.) You just inspired me to run the wire somewhere else.
