I'm the cook in the family..<br /><br />I'm making gravy for the bird, everything's going well.... I'm browning the flour in the skillet, and just dumping the broth in. Splatters enough to hit the burner, but no big deal.. Just a little smoke. No harm here. <br /><br />Well, enough smoke to trip the smoke detector. Ok, that's easy.. turn on the range hood, crack the french doors onto the deck, and that stops. All is good. <br /><br />About then two fire trucks roll up lights and sirens. Seems rocket scientist me forgot that our smoke detectors are tied to our ADT security system. It did it's little electronic thing and promply called the Fire Department. Arrrgh!<br /><br />Don't I feel like a dope! :eek: <br /><br />-Roger

That's exactly why some police/fire departments are refusing to respond to calls from security companies. :eek:

Drop by the firehouse with cake and ice cream and all will be forgotten. You are not the first and the kidding and laughter is good for everyone. nevjb

I bet you those guys were more happier to see a false alarm then to roll up to a house blazing

I'm sure it happens all the time - make a donation or something and they will be happy... <br /><br />Hey, I'm in Centreville - not that far away. Where do you fish?

So every time your smoke alarm goes off it calls the FD? Man, if this was the case in my house, I'd owe millions in donations due to my wife's 'cooking'. :)

Yea no kiddin'<br /><br />My house doesn't have a proper venting system in the kitchen, and the alarm goes off all the time.<br /><br />Wow. Glad it was OK.<br /><br />Anyone hear about the guy who burned his house (or part of it) while he was deep-frying his turkey ON HIS PORCH yesterday?<br /><br />Hmm..Lets see...Hot 350 degree boiling oil certainly won't ignite on the burner and a WOOD deck with urethane coating on it. Nope.<br /><br />*POOF* (not the kind of poof we're used to on this forum :) )<br /><br />Another "Master Of The Universe" at work. :D <br /><br />H.
