Ours are wired into the mains so there's no option to disable them. I have to open all the doors and windows just to use my hair straighteners or they go off and toast is just a distant memory.

Then lit a fire in the grate without opening the flue first. The fire alarm worked incredibly well, but was positioned about 15feet off the ground thanks to the vaulted cielings. I think they finally managed to tape two broom handles together in order to reach it smash it to pieces... Friends of mine moved into a new apartment with vaulted ceilings.

It generally only ever happens at three in the morning at which time burning to death seems preferable to getting out of bed to find a sweeping brush to whack it with.

Not a full blown alarm, just a beep every so often to remind you it was there. We threw rocks at it.

No matter when they wake you, if the fire is downstairs you are jumping out of the window or burning. As the fire will invariably wake you at some point, take the batteries out again.
