The house alarm blared loudly as I frantically entered the code to disable it, fan the smoke alarm, and order BoBo to open the front and back doors. My husband had keyed into the level of smoke in the house well before I did. Somehow, I didn’t see the smoke in the air even after he pointed it out. Minutes later, the smoke alarm set off the chain of events.
In our home, the smoke alarm is connected to the alarm system, which is connected to the fire department. It is therefore critical to clear the alarm as soon as possible if the only reason that the alarm is going off is because someone is burning a meal. Such was the case today.
