The smoke alarm that can scare you out of a heart attack
In a foreign country, one of the most feared things: the smoke alarm suddenly sounded!
Making steamed buns today, I was afraid that the water would dry out when I steamed it, so I added water halfway. And set the alarm clock and turn off the fire when it's ready time. Then at the big table in the dining room, I took my little one to do math, and while I was doing it, the smoke alarm suddenly came to mind. The first thought in my mind was that the water was dry! I hurried to the kitchen and turned off the fire, not caring about the cold outside, so I opened the front and rear doors to ventilate.
Our Chinese food has a lot of fumes, and the smoke alarm is sensitive. Whenever there is a little smoke, it will make a high-pitched sound.
I have experienced many times, and I have experience. Otherwise, I must be scared of a heart attack on this big night!
I remember the first time the smoke alarm went off, it was baking something in the oven and it fell to the bottom of the oven and it came out. Without any warning and psychological preparation, the smoke alarm was remembered, and I was immediately frightened and overwhelmed. In addition to quickly turning off the oven, I was just running around trying to find something longer to poke the alarm off first. Can't find it! The feet of the chair are out of reach. However, I dare not open the front and rear doors for ventilation. Because I had a wrong idea in my mind that the police would come as soon as the alarm went off, and I didn't know what to do when the police came, and whether they wanted to give the police money. Luckily, my ramblings ended soon, and the boss pulled out the siren. After the upstairs was quiet, we opened the front and rear doors to ventilate the smell.
My mistaken belief that the police will come after a smoke alarm goes off came from some articles on the Internet. In the apartment where the friends who wrote these personal experiences lived in, the entire building had to come out as soon as the apartment's smoke alarm went off. Detached houses can only be dispatched to the police unless they are connected to the police station. And it is said that the alarm does not go off as soon as the smoke alarm goes off, it goes off after five minutes.
In fact, it is good to have this smoke alarm, and it is an extra security.
There are generally two smoke alarms installed in the home, one on the top of the corridor on the first floor and one on the top of the corridor on the second floor. Most of the houses here have a basement, and the boiler heating system is basically in the basement, so the basement also needs to install a carbon monoxide alarm. Both alarms are required.
