I wonder how many false alarms the fire department would get if they get dispatched every time a smoke alarm goes off.

And I'm one of the guilty ones. Well, the apartment I live at is. Its range hood is one of those things that even after putting in brand new filters and extensive cleaning barely performs better as one of those fake ones at Ikea.

Same with the bathroom fan. When you turn it on it's loud, but it just circulates air. So I open the door. But that sets of the smoke alarm in the hallway...

What are you doing in the bathroom that sets off a smoke alarm?

Hot shower = steam, which triggers a smoke detector!
