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.

Is it an electrical smoke smell?

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.

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.

Dryer.

At least your house isn't haunted!!

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

If you think you can still smell it after about 10 minutes, then the fire department is definitely worth a call.

just burn the house down.
