Welcome to the Official Website for the Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company
Why does my smoke alarm keep going off – and what should I do about it?
We’ve all heard this at some point from someone in our lives. The smoke alarm keeps going off in the middle of the night despite there being no fire or smoke. What do I do to make it stop and why is it doing this? Such behavior typically occurs when the alarm batteries are getting low, causing the unit to chirp or activate as a signal to change the batteries. Unfortunately, some people will take the battery out all together or disconnect the alarm from the power source when this happens. This is not the correct way to handle this situation. Other things that can inadvertently set off the alarm include particles in the air, whether it be dust, fumes coming off of wet paint drying, steam from the shower or cooking. Even a bug crawling into the alarm can set it off. Regardless, the smoke alarm should never be disabled, and in most cases, the batteries just need to be replaced.
