Where do you live that the fire alarm doesn’t have any sound?

This sounds like a good idea. I do wonder if enough people would sign up for it to be a worthy venture because I think the main issue with ads is I think once you add any price at all dramatically reduces participation even if it’s not about cost some people just see the payment and immediately disengage.!

In some cities including Boston itself, it’s not the Fd that resets it but the fire alarm company of record(I work for one) who also gets a call. The possible issue is if another alarm comes in before the tech arrives it will not report to the FD again.

The upside is not relying on telecommunications, but the downside is one trip and they don’t trip again until they are manually reset by a tech.

I’m a fire alarm technician in the Boston area. There are still plenty fire alarm master boxes in use

I understand your POV and where it comes from but not all Christian’s believe in a theocracy or that those things you mentioned are even bad necessarily. Your lumping a lot of people in one group.

That’s a good link. Sidereal time is interesting. Like a Mercury day is longer than it’s year. Wild

Somebody should add elevator recall feature for when a lobby smoke detector trips!
