Usually even hard wired smoke alarms have 9 volt battery back-ups in them in the event the power goes out.

then i shall endevor to change those since i was able to shut them off last night when a candle got smoky. just flipped the breaker and they went off.

Yip, I have six of them around the house. Even though they are hardwired together on the power, they each have a 9 volt battery.

I guess this means a trip to Sams Club. I hope they have a "six pack" ;)

Oh, this also means I need to swap leach fields on my septic system. Nothing life saving, but will keep things from getting stinky :P

Ugh, yeah. Good reminder. Have to go to the store. Will pick up some 9V while I'm there.
