Yesterday while cooking I set off the smoke detector, no I did not burn anything. They go off when I cook over a high heat. And yesterday once they started going off they would not stop. I ended up having to disconnect them all (they are hard wired with an interconnect) and I replaced them this morning. Aaaaaaaand let me tell you, I had a sleepless night last night knowing there were no detectors installed.

that fire chief did you a solid by not including the ignition source in the official report.
if they had, your insurer would have denied any claims had you made any, and your premiums would have increased since your risk assessments would have changed.
glad to hear nobody was hurt and it wasn’t a total loss.
