What should we do when the fire alarm start beeping and it continues for one hour?

Question

will firefighters come to turn it off ?

Answer 1

Not unless it is hooked up to the security system(probably not)

All u do is if it is broken and wont stop beeping take the battery out...

If it just keeps going all u do is open all the doors and windows to let it cool down and it will soon stop!!

Answer 4

you have those little individual ones that are on the ceiling? if so you may have to change the batteries.

Answer 5

Call your alarm installer and find out if you have a bad sensor.  Did the firefighters find a fire?  

If you have access to the alarm box, turn it off, but make sure your alarm repair people get there asap, you don't want to be without protection.  Property and insurance issues are important here.

Answer 6

Yup... change the battery... on all of them in the house!

... Once every 6 months just to be sure they are all fully charged.  Until they changed Daylight Saving Time, we were told to change all the batteries when you change your clocks.

Answer 7

Just shoot the d**n thing!

Answer 8

Climb up there, twist the cover of the device, remove the battery, go to the store, ask the clerk to match what you have, buy it, take it home, climb back up, insert battery.

Ta - Da! In six months do the same thing again, just don't wait for the beeping this time.

Answer 9
