How to Disable a Smoke Detector
 |
This photo was taken at 3:45 a.m. after a house fire. The smoke detector was mounted on the ceiling in a hallway. All the occupants survived, no thanks to the smoke detector-one of them had awakened and noticed a glow in her kitchen.
Any why didn't the smoke detector get credit for this save? Take a gander at the photo and see if you can tell what crucial item is missing.
Hint: It is rectangular and they sell them at grocery stores and hardware stores.
The change to daylight savings time is recommended as a good opportunity to change your smoke-detector batteries. Of course, you have to have an old battery in there first in order to change it.
