Howdy random folks. I had some excitement this evening. I had stopped by my placed while I was working to pick up a drink. I had finished the two bottles of water that I got from the po, yet still had a number of stops left. The ac was on and was cooling the place, so it had been fixed. I turned off the ac to save electricity. When I got home from work, I turned on the ac. One of the smoke detectors began to yell, and I couldn't get it to stop. I tried calling the fire department main number, but no one answered, so I called 911. The operator had me wait outside until the fire department arrived...with several trucks, lights, and sirens. The whole time I was waiting, I could hear the detector, but as soon as the fire department arrived, it quit. The guys, like 6-8 of them, plus one cop, we're all here. They checked the ac unit, but it was fine. They (and I), figured the work had gotten dust into the unit and it blew out as soon as I turned it on, setting off the smoke detector closest to the unit. Thank God for the prompt response of our local volunteer fire department, even if it was just for a false alarm.
