marbleapple Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 My wife kindly tests our smoke alarms every time she cooks bacon so I know ours work!! We have 2 on mains and 1 on battery just to make sure. Also worth thinking of escape routes from the upstairs if the downstairs is on fire. Make sure you can fit through the window openings. Your lucky your wife only tests them with the bacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Your lucky your wife only tests them with the bacon Well I can be certain the bacon will do it, she also does it with toast, beef burgers, sausages, chargrill chicken grills and fajitas. Has to be said, the smoke alarms we have are very sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Great thread. I've got 3 battery ones fitted and a co2 monitor but they have a battery dead signal so I know when to replace them. Escape route is bathroom window and then it's just a short hop to move the sup to a safe distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I do check them every few weeks, I have thought maybe I should get mains ones put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Is there anything you would grab if you had the chance? I'd try to get to my 3 paperwork folders as they have all my important info in them - especially the home insurance info!! Obviously I'd then try to get the wife out safe.

Andy-No-Knee Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why not get a fire proof safe/filing cabinet?? Then that way the Sup log book, your passports, porn pictures of Dame Edna will be safe! Did I just say that?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
