rrrrrRRRRR rrr....rrrrrRRRRR Rrrrr....rrrrrRRRRR rrrrr. ( Smoke detector and alarm system blasting ) 06:30 it's time to be out of bed anyways and get something done while the weather is decent. Wife is cooking breakfast and my Father was an overnight guest. I'm thinking, okay I'm away for 2 weeks in Sept and away 2-3 times a year on plant outages for a week or two at a time. Lets see how they handle things on their own??? I'll lay low and find out. Smoke detector has gone off when she scorched something. She successfully inputs the cancel code to silence the exterior siren & lights. Smoke alarm in house still honking.Alarm company calls house phone and both of the listed cell phones to find status. It's known to all in the house the alarm system has priority use of the phone line and it will interrupt a conversation/computer modem to alert the monitoring service. Cell phones on kitchen counter are in the same room as they all are in, are being rung after the alarm company tried to contact us on the landline. I asked later, did you hear them ring...yes. Did you answer them....no. Why did you not answer or use them... I don't know..... is their answer. They never answered the landline when it rang either. The alarm company's calls finally went to the answering machine Wife instead is later after the alarm company quits calling, is fooling around with landline calling the alarm company & waiting in the cue for her turn. Alarm system keeps interrupting phone line every minute and wife just keeps calling back on landline. Total of four cell phones in the house and I make certain the batteries are charged because they don't. There is even the On-Star in the truck as well. She could have used one of them. We even know two of the Fire Dept Captains well. We could call them at home to halt a false call. Did that once already last year when the alarm company insisted on sending fire dept last year, "just to be safe". Had the alarm siren and detector canceled in a minute plus talked to alarm company and gave her the correct pass code, no matter. She was sending fire dept anyways..... So..... . back to today.Does she or children ever pickup the cell(s)....no. Does she or the kids know the alarm company will send the fire dept....apparently they doesn't. Does the fire dept need a false call....no. Is there a fire in the house...no. She's on a chair trying to blow air into the detector to clear it. Fire dept rolls into yard..... ..... .I can't believe my eyes and ears, can this really be happening?. Same fire dept by the way I just submitted my application to be a volunteer on, yesterday. Looks like it's not safe to leave the place for a minute to go to; work,town for supplies, back fields or vacation. Wife and children are all puzzled, think they did nothing wrong and wondering why I'm even the least bit upset.In fact, it's all my fault..... ....

Look it's your fault and if you can't see why that's so,then "YOU JUST WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND ANY WAY !!"
At least that's the way at my house.

Aloha, One day I was walking past my mother's house and heard the smoke alarm blasting away. I saw a lot of smoke and my mother had a broom and was smacking the wall with it. I went inside and asked my mother what she was doing. She responded with, I was frying some fish and this round thing up here started sounding off. I said mom, that is a smoke detector and if it senses smoke, it will warn you with that loud noise. Oh, she said and that was it. LOL

Mahalo,

My wife told me we needed a new stove 'cause the 6 year old one was messed up. It seems that the wife and kids keep bumping the burner controls enough that the gas comes on but the ignitor does'nt. Then they bump it again and the ignitor comes on with a big poof of fire. So we need a new stove. I told her to just buy the child proof covers to keep the controls from moving. $6 vs $600.
When we first moved to the country I told my wife if a dear runs out into the road, hit it, don't run off the road and hit a tree or flip the car. Well a while later I'm driving her car and she's with me and a dear runs out in front of me. I brake hard but don't skid and stop before hitting the dear. She says, "I thought you were supposed to hit the dear!"

Some years ago my wife decided to clean up the road bank in front of our house by burning the leaves that had accumulated there and set the utility pole on fire. I happened to look out from the barn and there she was emptying a fire extiguisher into it. She got it out and the electric company never seemed to notice it was blackened. Eventually they replaced it when it started leaning. I like to bring it up once in a while.

I thought I was the only one that had that problem you are having. My wife is always telling me to not get excited, And when we go away and come back it is like "see" nothing happen I'm with you Glen about what you are saying.

B&D,

What a way to start your day. It reminds me of a call our department had a couple months ago. This was about ~5pm, coming on supper time anyway. We get a mutual aid call for possible structural fire in neighbouring district. We roll 2 trucks, they roll 2 more... They arrive on scene first. There is no fire. There is smoke throughout the house though, with no apperant source. The boys are looking high and low... the basement, the attic. No sign of anything. There's just some smoke hanging in one room. To make a long story short, the lady of the house burnt a ham in the oven. It took close to half an hour to coax this factoid from her... until the cheif lifted the lid of the pot, still sitting in the sink. Apperantly this had happened some time before, and the smoke was still hanging around, and she got worried. We got a good chuckly form it, as we were just as happy it wasn't a fire. Some days are like that....

Rod

I am stealing this from this board or another, can't remember which. The man is upset with his wife and says,Why would the Lord make someone as beautiful as you so stupid?Wife answered I am beautiful so you would be attracted to me, I am stupid so I would be attracted to you. Good luck with the VFD. I have been amember since 1983 and have heard a lot of stories like yours. Always glad if its just a false alarm and no one is hurt and the fire is out. David

Ya you big dummy. The tee shirt I have reads "I am responsible, therefore it is my fault". Besides that, them blonds only have to remember four things. Breathe in, breathe out, blink. Repeat as necessary.

My Dear Wife smoked the handle on a skillet setting on the stove! (The skillet, not DW!) Smoked the kitchen all over, all the cabinets, fridge, stove, floors, walls, ceiling, door frames! Not all that badly, just a slight haze on all of it. Called insurance company--they paid for clean-up, refinished the wood cabinets, painted the kitchen, replaced the fridge and stove, and the skillet! A company called "Fire-dex" did the work. A fine job of clean-up! I belong to the local Fire Dep't. About twice a week, we get calls around supper time, saying it's a problem in the kitchen, some pot or cooker is on fire! I look at my wife, nod my head and say: Some yuppie learning how to cook, or some yuppie kid forgot the pot on the stove in which he was cooking his supper, since his parents were too busy earning money to come home to feed him! and thats usually what it is!
