While I was in the middle of writing that last post, the fire alarms in the basement went off! I went downstairs to find out what was going on (I didn't smell any smoke) and started silencing them one by one. Will got into the breaker box and tripped the switch for them before I could finish. He got chewed out for that one.
We couldn't find any source other than the fact that Helena was in the process of drying her hair. We were worried for a moment that it was a carbon monoxide issue, but then we remembered that the co warning is accompanied by a female voice saying "Danger! Carbon Monoxide!" over and over. So, we just reset them and I came back upstairs to finish my post.
Yeah, no. The alarms went off again. All of them. So, back downstairs we went. We discovered that if one goes off, they all trigger. It must have been Helena's hair dryer. She stopped using it and switched to mine... No more alarms.
Problem solved.
