Default Smoke detector

I had a problem with a smoke detector alarm going off for no apparent reason. I called The Villages FD non-emergency number and a fire truck with 6 men showed up about 10 minutes later. They said that is what they are here for. They checked all of the alarms. It turns out that 4 detectors were no good, which they said is typical in a 6 year old house. I bought new ones at Ace Hardware and now everything is ducky.

Tip: push the "test" button on your smoke detectors when changing batteries.

The staff at The Villages FD has a great attitudes and provides great service.
