  • How to Live with Your Fire Alarm System
    How to Live with Your Fire Alarm System: Smoke detectors are sensitive to a number of items in addition to smoke from fire, including dusts and mists. To prevent nuisance fire alarms: 1. Do not smoke in your residence hall. 2. Do not spray aerosol products (air fresheners, hair spray, spray paint, perfume, mists, insect spray) or use candles, incense, powder, etc.) near smoke detectors or in large amounts. Consider using solid, non-aerosol air fresheners and keep spray paint and dusty projects outdoors in a well ventilated area. 3. Do not spray liquids on or near smoke detectors (cleaning products, water, steam) 4. Do not leave your microwave unattended. Burned food can smoke and does set off smoke detectors. Follow reheating directions and food preparation recommended cooking times, especially popcorn, and stay close by. 5. Do not use prohibited items such as candles, toaster ovens, George Forman Grills, or space heaters in your room. These items can cause nuisance fire alarms or worse - start a fire. Nuisance fire alarms and unnecessary fire department runs are dangerous, expensive, and disruptive for the fire department and create safety hazards for everyone. Your life and the lives of others may depend on your smoke detector. Do not disable or cover it.
