So last night at about 4am, our smoke alarm decided to go off. We checked the entire house and there wasn’t any smoke or fires, and nothing was left plugged in or switched on. I can’t figure out why it went off or what caused it! It was quite frightening.
The smoke alarm itself is working and isn’t damaged and it’s not overly sensitive either- it’s not the kind of alarm that goes off when dinner is being cooked! It’s only ever gone off if there’s enough smoke, eg when something was burning in the grill etc. The batteries aren’t flat either- they were replaced and checked recently. It’s working fine today and hasn’t gone off since.
It was really spookey actually and I got such a fright. I feel like instinct completely kicked in and without even thinking about it I sort of threw myself out of bed and ran downstairs to see what was happening. I got such a fright though and it was scary, just cant figure out what could have caused it! I didn’t have to switch it off either, it switched itself off after 2 minutes or so.
