Fire and Hospital loss of power.

and think how much you could make selling them on the chartreuse market!

Went in yesterday....Turns out that there was no fire...false alarm...just the power loss.
Apparently that what set off the alarms?

Stopped today at the Big Lots Clearance store and picked up 2 more cards of those cheapo flashlights......5 to a card w/batteries $10 bucks.

Was thinking about taking them in, and giving one to each of the ladies....but there are about 20 working there....the store only had 2 cards left...or 10 flashlights.....LOL...We will see.

Large hospital systems are generally Simplex and not ADT. Each head nowadays reports back to the panel digitally and tells them where they are floor room etc. As the system ages there is a accumulation of dust and other things that can generate false alarms. When a unit's LED stays solid after a alarm that's the one that needs to be replaced. The Batteries are fallible after 5 years or sooner and are required to be replaced or maintained. Most companies including ADT fail to do the right thing.

The biggest false alarm? Dust Mites. You can tell when you have a bad detector - it will have a dark brown round spot smaller than a pencil lead on the outside shell - where the female laid the eggs.
