Fire alarm in my house just went off
 
Got up, spent 20 minutes searching the house for smoke/fire - never found any. Very faint smell of smoke or something.

Now, can't sleep thinking I've missed something somewhere and the whole house is going to burn down.

Frazod 06-25-2009 11:45 PM
Is it an electrical smoke smell?

teedubya 06-25-2009 11:47 PM
I wish you the best, bro.

Safe thing - call FD. They're just playing cards anyway. Explain the situation to Dispatch and they'll send one engine first.

No. I can't really even say it's a fire/smoke smell. It could be just me looking for something and thinking I smell it. Very very very faint.

Thought about doing that. Just decided that I'll sit up here and see if anything else happens. Moved my oldest out of the basement to the upstairs couch just in case.

Checked the furnance & water heater. Checked all the outlets. Just can't find anything substantial enough to prove it wasn't just a fluke.

Could be something electrical in the walls/attic. Phil's right - perhaps you should play it safe and call the FD.

Phobia 06-25-2009 11:57 PM
Your tax dollars cover these situations. Call them for peace of mind.

And a ladder company to stage. But knowing dispatchers...they'll put it as a full blown Residential structure fire. Just to be on the "safe." side.

I had to remove the fire alarm in my house because it went off all the time because I am smoking hot!

or full of warm shit

Chiefspants 06-26-2009 01:48 AM
If you think you can still smell it after about 10 minutes, then the fire department is definitely worth a call.

googlegoogle 06-26-2009 02:10 AM
just burn the house down.

RustShack 06-26-2009 02:11 AM
Maybe you just need to change the batteries...

Hog's Gone Fishin 06-26-2009 04:47 AM
You should take your fire extinguisher and spray your smoke alarm.

007 06-26-2009 04:52 AM

Mine goes off when I light the oven and I can't smell anything. But cigarettes don't set it off.

They've made a lot of improvements on ovens in the last 75 years.

Glad you managed the situation without shooting any major appliances.

Exactly what I was thinking. Smed seems to take posts that he is going to make in 4-5 different threads and then combines them into 1 post in a thread he wasn't going to respond in.

Mr. Plow 06-26-2009 07:42 AM
Also, everything was fine. Never called the FD....probably should have. Just didn't want to drag anyone out at 1am for something that I wasn't sure was even there.

Stayed up until about 3:30a with no other issues and then slowly fell asleep.

Sofa King 06-26-2009 08:21 AM
check your wiring in your attic... we just had a house burn up in town.. the guy who owned it thought he could smell smoke for 3 days.. he just couldnt find it... turns out some wires in the attic were slowly smouldering (sp?) and they eventually got some air and took off...

worth a shot if you have an older house/older wiring..

Mr. Plow 06-26-2009 08:27 AM
Thanks. I will do that as soon as I get home tonight.

Fish 06-26-2009 08:41 AM
Did you check the front door for bags of flaming poo?

I don't think I said any of that, Smed. Please stop putting words in my mouth.

:eek:

I don't know which is more disturbing. Smeds incoherent posts, or the fact that you were able to figure out what the hell he was rambling on about. I think I speak for most of us, when I invite you to be the "official" Smed to english translator from this point forward.

Did you just recently fire up the AC, if I go without running the heat/AC for a while, the dust settled in the ducts kick out and set off the smoke detectors.

I thought about that. But, the AC has been running for awhile. What was strange is that it was the fire alarm in my 2 middle boys room. None of the other ones went off.
