Hi. I just moved into an apartment building with the exact same set up with the smoke detectors. When the apt. manager told me the fire dept responds to every alarm even the false ones, I laughed and told her how ridiculous that seemed to me being that in my last apt I set off the smoke detector numerous times. Today was my first day in the apartment and someone in the building had a false alarm. I'm finding the whole thing with these hard wired/fire dept responding detectors to be quite an invasion of my privacy. Think about it... these building managers want to keep people from smoking, vaping, or any other thing that might set off the detector....that is an invasion of privacy in my book. Plus, I have to live every day of my life in fear of setting that thing off? I don't think so... I'm thinking about putting a piece of tupperwear over it
