Of course I have, which is why I had a brand new 9V battery in my truck.

We have also had multiple training sessions where I explain to them that when it goes "beep beep beep beep", that means it needs a new battery, when it says "fire fire" it means it is detecting smoke, and when it says "warning, carbon monoxide" it means it is detecting CO, and what to do in response to each sound.

The problem is, the batteries only last a year or three, so even when I change a battery for them, at some point, that battery will need to be changed again. This woman just can't seem to handle changing a ****ing battery. If she had called me, instead of the fire department, we could have saved some guys a little trouble.

I have been over the system at least a half dozen times, and there is nothing wrong with it. If more than one detector in the building is sounding an alarm, that means it detects either smoke or CO, and the right thing to do is leave the building, and call the fire department.

Tonight I got an emergency call that Westfield (the town where the property is) FD had responded to my property. I rolled up about 5 minutes later, and let Westfield's bravest into every level of the building. My upstairs tenant had called them, and was outside in quite a state of panic, immediately telling me of the terrible things that had occurred.

After a 10-15 minute inspection by WFD, they informed my tenant that she needed to change the battery in her smoke/CO detector, and all would be well, She, of course, had the "deer in headlights" look and babbled that she had no idea what they were talking about, more or less in hysterics.

I calmly walked back to my truck, produced a brand new 9V battery, and handed it to the heroes of the WFD. A big strong firefighter went to her apartment, and changed the battery for her, and all was well.

I have nothing but the highest respect for the brave heroes of the WFD, and can only thank God that they were there to respond so quickly, professionally, and effectively to what would surely have escalated into a major crisis without their decisive actions.

The ****ing joys of being a landlord.

All she heard was the last part when you told her to call the Fire Department.
