My wife and I went to help my daughter move into her new apartment since she is getting married in 3 weeks. Upon touring the new space, I, being a dad, wanted to make sure she will be safe. Naturally, I test the smoke alarms in her apartment by swiping the button to "test". yep, they work well. 5 minutes later security knocks on the door. The sound of fire trucks are in the distance. How was I supposed to know the alarms were connected to a call center and activation (even by test) automatically toned the FD. Three engines and a Battalion chief arrived within 5 minutes. I do feel good about their response time. This is me explaining the situation.

Great now the wedding is off and she’ll be mashing that button every couple of days. Just kidding! Now ya know.

Were you groveling for forgiveness at this stage in the picture?

Nah, I know I didn’t do anything wrong. We run false alarms constantly at station 33. Always rather a false alarm instead of a fire.

At least you know they're safe...not from your antics but safe nonetheless

I mean.... test is to test the alarm. Not rest response time.

Lol. All I wanted to do was make sure the alarm worked. Campus security told me it was the only building that was connected to an automatic response because it was off campus a few blocks. There is actually a notice on the front door about fire alarms and what to do, but nothing about testing. Oh well, that can’t be the first time it’s happened. I don’t ever enter a building without scoping out escape routes and hazards. It’s just second nature to me at this point.
